Posted November 15, 200420 yr I know time and chemical erasure have blurred the memory somewhat, but does anyone else remember Thelma Houston's version being played at old Wigwam?? Whenever I mention it ,nobody remembers. Presumably it was an lp only track, but what lp and how hard is it . Ta Tony
November 15, 200420 yr Tony, First broke by Ian Levine at the Mecca. A very in demand track these days and hard to find. Although the Jnr Walker was the Northern hit, Thelma's is THE ONE THESE DAYS.
November 16, 200420 yr Ta for that. Presume it's a Motown track? LP , single or both ?? Tony link ITS FROM THE 1972 MOWEST ALBUM SIMPLY CALLED THELMA HOUSTON PRE WIGAN THIS RECORD WAS PLAYED 'EVERYWHERE'
November 16, 200420 yr Usually I'd go for Thelma , but on Saturday night somebody played Junior's version nice and loud - talk about smokin' sax! Pity he could never sing, mind... Jerry.

Top drawer crossover dancer, which knocks everything else on the LP into shade. Jordi
November 17, 200420 yr Just flogged the Gloria Jones single to a Marc Bolan (RIP) fan. Question. Has anyone ever played the 'RIGHT ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS' JW track? If not, they should as its a great slightly slowed down equal of IAGK. Ed
November 17, 200420 yr In my memory both Jr. Walker AND Thelma were played at Wigan. Must have been '74.
November 17, 200420 yr not sure about 74 , think 76 ? maybe a certain ex casino jock on here can confirm.
November 17, 200420 yr Definately 74 and both off the album as Jr Walker had not yet been released on 7" Played off the album Peace & Understanding. Thelma got the first plays though. Edited November 17, 200420 yr by Paul r
