He made some great records ...............

 

 

.... AND .. by all accounts put on a great live show around his home area of Memphis.

James doing a cover live at a Memphis venue ...........

Always liked "Uphill climb" a Searling favourite from his Red Rose radio days.

 

Sad news and I can't imagine he was very old.

Caught him live at the rum boogie, Beale street Memphis a few years back, wonderful band and the keyboard player used to tour with willie Mitchell , talented gentleman , another tragic soul performer gone . Sad times

A great southern soul guy gone. RIP.

 

Remember hearing Stuart Cosgrove playing  'Uphill climb' as a guest on Bob Jones Solar radio show as a new release and being completely blown away as Dr Bob was too !!

Another sad day,

 

I very much like his George Jackson penned unissued "I Bit Off More Than I Can Chew"

 

RIP
