Posted June 11, 200619 yr Praise the lord indeed! This one should be a bit easier than last weeks. It needs to be really as I have to be out just before noon This weeks mystery singer had a 70s/crossover song that was an old Mecca sound. The attached tune, however, is on a label that you wouldn't really associate with soul music. Feel free to guess, make comments etc etc. No pressure - just a bit of Sunday morning fun.

June 11, 200619 yr You've obviously been to church this morning, mate We're on the way now Godz Well my Mother had a flirtation with the Methodists once. Good record. I'm sure others will get it on the Blackpool Connection. Probably more known as a big crossover record then a mecca record. Two other biggies on the same label from the same era. One very rare, one not very rare but was a massive 70s tune, one of the biggest. Got to do so cleaning. Regards Alan
