Really underrated singer, I love 'Groove me' and 'I'm gonna fall in love with you'. Worth seeking out his 'Well Done' Lp shouldn't be too hard to find.

Sad to hear - good artist. Didn't realise Lynden David Hall recently died either from cancer I think. OK not a northern soul hero but he did cut some decent stuff in amongst all the crap that gets made today. RIP guys.

"I'm gonna fall in love" is a lovely cheap record on Chimneyville...almost like a 70's kids theme tune in places.

King Floyd died from a stroke.

Really loved his "Can You Dig It".

If you don't know it I reckon it would be right up your street.

A truly beautiful record.

Also worth checking is the equally lovely "I'm For Real".

RIP

...don't forget "Handle With Care" and "Please Don't leave Me Lonely", Mark - what a couple of crushers they are !!

BTW King's death actually made the national news on NBC's morning show on the day he died - shows just what sort of an impact "Groove Me" had for him to be remembered on a pan-America TV show that's watched by millions...

check out King's V.I.P album for Motown....'Take The Place Of A Dying Man' is an absolute corker just waiting to be added to the long list of non Motown 45 favourite plays!

Hi Everyone

I did a couple of pieces on my blog when he died - a vastly underrated singer and another sad loss!!
