spot Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Lee Mitchell,filtered down from the Mecca.? How about Ann Perry - "Thats the way he is",dont here that too often.Probably tough to crowbar into a set now.? Lee Mitchell I still love & listen to regularly, short life span, remember it at Cleethorpes but could have originated fro Mecca. Spot. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
spot Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Forgotten sounds from the Casino? Ann Perry was played here in Spain by Mark Sargeant last Saturday night. Admittedly, Spain isn't the UK. I note that most of the records people are posting are 60s tunes. What about some long forgotten 70s biggies? When I first started going there "Love Trap" was being played to death, it was huge, absolutely huge. Ain't it weird how some would want to resurrect dire 60s stuff but ignore stuff like T.D. Valentine? At the risk of being booed, I still quite like "Love Trap". I also love the French Fries. Macca your not allowed to mention 70's music, it heresy, punishable by ridicule & people saying "Disco" a lot or prancing about like a Prima Ballerina btw I love it all, Yours Rudolf Nureyev Rodgers. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Goldsoul Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Its a good record, but as with 1,000's more it just needs a spark from dancers and who knows. Leonard Jewell Smith is not the Leonard on this track. They are a New York pairing. LJS is from LA.
