Here's a bit of bad news I just saw on the Southern Soul site. He was terrific at Prestatyn and the 100 Club, let's hope he recovers soon.

"The organisers of the Lucerne Blues Festival were obliged to inform

about a most unfortunate incident last Monday, 8.11.04. Lou Pride,

one of the top acts of the festival, suffered a myocardial

infarction. The 54 year old singer of the Severn Soul Revue is now

in the hospital of Lucerne, where he had to go through surgery, and

further surgery may still be necessary. Even though Lou Pride is

already recovering, it is most unlikely that he will be on stage

with the Severn Soul Revue on Saturday, 13.11.04"

Better news coming recently from David Earl, the boss of Severn

records : "I talked with Lou today and he is in great spirits. He

says he hasn't felt this good in 10 years!! He will be coming home on

Saturday."

Can't believe he was only 20 when he recorded I'm Comin Home In The Mornin, he sounds like an old time bluesman...

An update on Lou

Lou Pride left the hospital of Lucerne on the 20th November and went back to Chicago. He's in a good condition under the circumstances. (Short after arriving at Lucerne Lou had suffered a myocardial infarction. )

Are here's some photos of Lou and the nurses

Surely he would be comin' home in the mornun' ady?

I wonder if Lou listens to 'comin home' if it gets his toes tapping etc like it does mine. As definitve of a 'NORTHERN SOUL' tune as it can be.

(Who was his 'woman' anyway).

Get well soon.

Really good news that is

As I`m an old man and no longer up to back drops, flips etc I find myself at a loss what to do when the break kicks in, so just try to carry on dancing until the beat returns.

Sad I know but what the f**k who cares.
