Greety Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Met him in Chicago a few years ago. Discussed his outing on Albatross which he remembered instantly. Very good recall for facts. Lovely man and sadly missed. (Don't we say this too often nowadays) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andy Rix Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 A sad loss indeed. He was a wonderful, gracious and kind man. I was honoured to be able to introduce him live on stage at Prestatyn. A memorable night indeed considering Rob Thomas and I located him to do the gig, not that he was really lost, and that it was Rob who had the first copy of his iconic 45 Here are the lyrics written in Lou's own hand RIP Andy 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve G Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Interesting I never knew he was singing "I wrote my baby Special D." always thought it was "Specially" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Reed Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I know this is a Northern Soul forum, but he recorded quality soul for over 30 years and apart posts about 'Mornin' there's only one mention of his Albatross release let alone his other stuff, shame really. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest harryianson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 So Sad, I had the privilge of seeing Lou at the Cluny in Byker. Newcastle several years ago, One of the best artists I have ever seen. His act was professional, sxciting and when he came into the crowd to sing, what can I say, I shook Lou Prides hand!! True Talent, so much more than one record, thank you Lou Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
honky Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Have been going through some of the Dig Deeper archive, including some video from Lou Pride's performance on July 23, 2011, at our 3rd anniversary. The ballad "You were never mine" broke our hearts at the time, and is all the more poignant now. We miss you, Lou. Will post a few more in the next few days.
