I've got a couple by him that I love

good but he made better!

i don't know how to put tracks here mabe you can help?

UK soul collectors may be keen on a Reprise EP; "Don't Shut Me Out", which is a nice piece, albeit for just two tracks.

As well as the lead track, which is decent midtempo, it also has "Not for Me" on it.

Additionally, let's not forget his "You Can Count On Me", which made a pleasant change to the Ventures' instrumental "Hawaii-5-0" theme!!

Which I've been asked to play at a scooter club do at the weekend. I'm in two minds about it, not listened to it in ages - can it REALLY be as bad as I remember it?

I think its a good record and am lucky enough to have a really nice copy of it. Certainly not a soul record though.

another good tune by Sammy is "I like the way you dance" on UA.

but you guy's are missing my point,even if sammy sang jazz he sang it very soulfully much more soulfull as the original crooners back then,i see him as one of the originators of soul together with ray charles afcourse!

so its not so much about the style of the song not beeing typically soullike(the backbeat) as it is about the interpretation of him on any song he sang!

i hear a lot of soul there!!!!

drag the tracks hat you want to post onto your desk top(makes em easier to find)

below the post youre writing is post options...then file attatchments.

in file attatchments part press Browse...select desktop from the drop down box...and select the 1st track you want to add...then press add attatchment.

wait for track to upload.

go back to your post and make sure the cursor is below the last sentence of your post,

then press add into post.

you can add other files one at a time until you reach the upload limit for your post. .rm, ra, & mp3's upload quickest and require less space

hope this helps

Agreed. Also Up Up And Away. Top tune. Used to get played at Blow Up.

Might dig it out then, its on a cd I compiled of stuff that was big on rallies in the early 80s.

Got to find the cd first.

(Oooooh I said 'cd' )

Sammy's version of Mr Bojangles is great ...just sold a copy recently

He also did a nice track 'The shelter of your arms' which also came out by Bobby Sheen...I think..

can it REALLY be as bad as I remember it?

yes

Late eighties, saw him live at the Albert Hall, along with Liza Minelli and Frank Sinatra. He blew them both off the stage. An amazing perfomer.

Soulful, perhaps. Soul music, no. (IMHO)

Was that when he was arrested for possession of explosives and criminal damage to a London theatre, Colin?

Last week was it???

Late 80's Pete the next 2 records i played were Billy Ocean(again borrowed of Mick) and the Q

fillled the floor

UK soul collectors may be keen on a Reprise EP; "Don't Shut Me Out", which is a nice piece, albeit for just two tracks.

Don't shut me out also came out as a UK single. I got it for 10 pence in the early 70's when our local Co-op was closing down it's Record Department.

Some of my favourite Sammy LP's apart from the Motown one are The Goin's great, Sammy Davis Now and Song and dance man which includes You can count on me.

another good tune by Sammy is "I like the way you dance" on UA.

Think ive got a copy of this in a box somewhere does he say Cor Blimey

towards the end?? Really made me smile when i heard that first time

i think at the time he was guilty of multiple viewings of Oliver in a west end Cinema.

Some of the crap that was played on the scooter scene was unbelievable, not just soul but right across the board. I'd like to pretend we've moved on, but about a year before it was rereleased 'Show Me The Way To Amarillo' was filling the floor late on at do's.

Never accuse scoterists of failing to take their music seriously.....

I wonder if I should start a thread on 'Scooterist Soul'? Its a completely different animal to 'proper' Northern

Bobby and Sammy !

Ok....I posted up Bobby twice......here's Sammy.
