Just watched an hour long prog on BBC2 ............

Jools Holland selecting his fave guests from his long 'LATER' TV series.

His heart really is in the right place ........... his selections included ......

Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys, Solomon Burke, Edwin Starr, Sam Moore, Herbie Hancock, Billy Preston + the likes of Rusty Springboard & a Brit guy singing Stevie Wonder's "Place In The Sun".

Can't find Sam & Da .. Edwin singing "Drown In My Own Tears" as a duet but Jools & Billy dueting on "Thats the Way God Planned it" is up there ......

Superb Solomon Burke docu

With Jools at 04.21

The docu is in 4 parts on the tube. The above is part 4 but well worth taking an hour out and going to part 1,

Perhaps the only person who could thrill me whilst sitting down

Pity the Sam Moore & Edwin Starr clip ain't up on youtube as Jools chatted with them both before they broke into song.

Edwin said he first got to meet Sam (& Dave) at a big gig they undertook in Cleveland (@ the Cleveland Arena I think he said).

That must have been around Spring 1966 after S&D had enjoyed their 1st big hit.

Edwin said that Cleveland had a great entertainment scene back then with all the top soul acts playing venues in the city.

I'll have to post up my article on Edwin's Cleveland years on here.

One or two of my fave clips..
