Hey soul fans,

 

I'm a newbie so I hope this hasn't been done before.

 

Now, when I look at my records or think about when I used (I know, I know) to go dancing, 99% or more of them fade out, as did most 2 or 3 minute singles of the 60s and 70s. There are a few significant tracks that don't fade out that I can think of:

 

Nothing Can Stop Me - Gene Chandler

Come On Train - Don Thomas

Scratchy (!) - Travis Wammack

Night Owl - Bobby Paris - My London reissue comes to a clumsy stop but the original Cameo version fades out

Afternoon Of The Rhino - Mike post Coalition

 

Now, it's getting a bit late and I'm knackered - I'm sure i've missed loads of obvious ones.

 

Anybody want to add to this list and make me kick myself?!!!

Rodger Collins - You sexy sugar plum

Big sound at the time.  Did it chart, as it was on Top of the Pops?

Apologies for the multiple posts.  I think the site was playing up at the time.

Yeah it got into the low 30's I think, these days it would have gone to number 1 with those kind of sales

One ending that always makes me smile

 

SAM BOWIE - THINK OF THE TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER - WINGATE

One of those forgotten instrumentals from Wigan…….Dick and Paul Freitas - "Siamese Cat"

Sidra's theme

_{POODLES STEP BY STEP    Goes a bit quite at the end but still ends "wollop}

Bobby Copney, Aint No Good, just seems to stop mid song.

Little bit of an abrupt ending here

 

Heard this on an old CD today-

Timmy Thomas- What's Bothering Me

"a two fingered sign don't mean we dig crime, it means peace" then stops dead.

Old Mecca spin that caught a few out.
