Another old fave Clyde McPhatter - Please Guve Me One More Chance. I think this also carried over to Staffird with the likes of Main Change -Sunshine and Johnny Honeycutt - Coming On Over and another from that era Court Davis the old Herbie Williams c/up The Lover Who Loves You Not...Tunes that aren't or rarely played nowadays....

Forgot about this country prog rock shite.Thanks.

 

Not sure where you get prog from? A better swamp pop record than a soul one, maybe :thumbsup:

 

Saw Tony Joe White live last year - he looks a sounds like a man who's lived a dozen very full lives and he's still got a ferocious guitar style - great stuff!

I was quite suprised a couple of years ago when a Wigan 1974 "live" CD was doing the rounds. It was the one with Footsee, The Zoo, Tainted Love etc, all very well known tracks except one I didnt really remember, and to me, stuck out like a good sore thumb. The track was Kenny Ballard, I'm Losing You. Not brilliant, but better than many of the other tracks.

Joe Tex, Better Believe It.

This was massive for a short while.

 

 

Always loved this track and whenever I hear it (which is rarely, sadly) is one of those tracks that instantly puts me back at Station Rd.

 

A full floor dancing AND clapping to this was truly fantastic.

 

And I wonder how many Jocks were caught out by that ending?.. :lol:

and this

 

 

loved this early 70s but as a medic in army 1982 working at Aldershot seeing guys coming home from Falkland islands with horrific injuries added a new perspective to all those anti war songs and would make you depressed

 

Soul If it aint about love or deprevation it aint  soul.

read that on a record sleeve somewhere
