There's a time in your life when you step onto a dance floor for the first time. You're nervous, slightly unsure of yourself, trying to find your feet. Take a 'Look at Me Now' was that classic that always calmed me down, and made everything in the world feel ok. What a track, what a voice.

RIP Terry. Thanks man.

Very sad news indeed. One of the very best singers and songwriters, a great performer and by all accounts a true gentleman.

'Dancing Girl' is a masterpiece.

RIP MR Callier.

I bought "look at me now " late 1977 as an unknown to myself.got home and played it,my first reaction was what the hello have I bought here. Nothing like the wigan tunes I was used to . Little did I know that it would become one of my favourite tunes and one of the most popular records on the northern soul scene ever R.I.P terry callier

A lovely and talented man. He had a nightmare plane journey to the UK for his first vist and the plane was so delayed he had to travel straight from the airport to rehearsals up in Willesden. Though utterly drained he was happy to rehearse and as soon as the music struck up the energy and life just flowed back right into him. The jazz and funk scene then fell in love with him and he was a star in the UK and relatively unknown at home. He deserved all his acclaim.

Ady,

just smiling at this.

I was tasked with looking after Terry - and his daughter Sundiata - when he was in London that time. At 21 it was the first time I had ever had to do such a thing and I was a little nervous. I made my way up to Willesden, walked in and before I could work out what was going on, I saw Terry, acoustic guitar in hand running through 'Ordinary Joe'. It was an absolutely amazing introduction to a lovely lovely man, who deserved all the success he got in his later years.
