Hi, Some friends and I are in contact with Gene Toon (the correct spelling BTW) and will be publishing his full story including his astonishing gospel career on-line soon.

Sadly as is so often the case, he doesn't have any of his recordings so we are looking to put them together on a couple of CDs for him. We have all his tracks bar the flip to "What More Do You Want" entitled "How It Feels". Does anybody have this as an MP3? Would anybody be willing to send it to me so we can include it on Mr Toon's CDs?

Many thanks for any help. Full credit given of course. Best wishes, john.

 

 

I will try when my son gets home. I have no clue you see!

Cant help you with a 45 alas I sold it but are you aware of his song " So Glad Trouble Don't Last" on Simco

Hi Gilly, Yes I have that one thank you. Steve - did your son have the track we need? Can anybody else help please?

Thanks. Best, John

Hello sorry for the late reply. No sorry we cant help.

Hi - did you get sorted with an MP3?

I can record it off my copy if you still need one

Cheers, Simon

hi have copy if you have not got one

 

A lady named Nancy had two early G Toons 45s think shes on here

John, we've been in touch with him for a good while too as you may know already, drop a line directly as there may be some recordings you're not aware of to add, plus we both have clean copies of How it feels if you still need that.

How Old Is He Now And Where Does He Live? Maybe Some Pictorial Material? Would Be Awesome

Hi Michael,

 

Only just seen this - thanks very much for replying. I've got "How It Feels" thanks very much but am now in need opf "Night Walker". Got the deep flip but not that top side. If you have that one I'd love an MP3 if you can provide it.

I think that just about does it for the secular material and the others guys (John Glassburner and Karl Tsigdinos) are gospel freaks as I'm sure you know and they tell me they've got all his Church material.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best, John.

 

Yes I have Night Walker John, to make a higher quality mp3 will need to give it to R to do for you, can leave it at his place this week k

ps Night Walker was cut on the street where I live, address is now a deli and owners are newish so no history there, but literally steps from my front door, pretty crazy huh  

Hi Michael that's really kind of you - I'm very grateful. I've not heard "Night Walker" but the flip is superb - much better than the Simco retread.

Love the coincidence of the recording location!

Do let me know if I can send you anything in return.

Best wishes, John.

NW is my style not yours John, hyper uptempo and a great dancer.  

Just send Gene our love, that's plenty enough.
