Don't you just love it when mates give you a tune as good as this

Sherri Taylor & Singin' Sammy Ward- Lover Motown

 

 

I'm in for a scolding as well but have always loved Rose Royce and this is Gwen at her very best.

Dr. Buzzards Original Savannah Band, probably my favourite ever LP

 

Played this album for the first time in eons. This was one of the standouts and has largely been forgottem. A shame 'cos its georgeous.

I've owned this Etta cut for maybe forty five years.

It's nagging at me now though, with it being such a mod thing that some radio jock/programme used it as some sort of theme.

Nice for last night, good when something goes down well.

Now what the hell do I do the rest of the day????

The 2017 thread has got off to a stonking start.Dont panic i said Stonking not Stomping .

Next up from me another Northern Anthem that seems to have been left on the shelf in recent times even at oldies events.This one took me a while to find an original, one of those thats harder to find than people might think.

 

played it all last year at nunny  one of Nuneaton's  floor fillers .very hard to find on original the copies .lots of boots or repressed  .Great choice . 

Think i put this up last year but not sure.Underplayed Stomper from Jay Lyle on Angel City Records.When i play it always get positive comments and asks what it is.A great Northern Dancer

 

full on underplayed stomper covered up as the Detroit shakers  .

A bevvy of Femmes that cost me the price of a pint. What's not to like.

 

 

Grabbed this DVD as soon as it came out.

 

 

funky mover , dee dee gartrell / second hand love , maverick records , killer ballad on other side to

 

British being my first love, I recently picked this up on a nice Vocalion demo.

A bit of a cheapo on the US Peacock release, the UK one's passed me by until now.

The other side which is a crossover effort suffers from sounding like it was recorded in a Tin Can.

Nice R'n'B mover:

Don Fletcher "I'm so Glad"

HI ALL

Here I am alive & kicking, thanks for the emails received regarding the record club, it seems that Mike while sorting out all aspects to the SOUL Source site jumped the gun and was eager to put 2017 tag on to the club, hence this thread does not have my name on it, this will all be sorted out by the weekend, I will end ever to contribute more often, however December I was being checked out for bowel cancer, so having a camera up my arse made me depressed, added to the fact that I spent time over Christmas with my daughter in SKIPTON, only to find out that the club had been opened by someone else, an E mail to me would have been good, the new thread will not lose anyone postings, plus I will write to Ken about the matter,

Edited January 11, 20178 yr by hullsoul

pulled out a few 45s last night, including this one by the Chevrons

 

One from waaay back. Funky/R&B enough for a spin today? Being on the dance floor mainly and having always been a part timer with the collecting I used to under rate the Jay Boy label for some inexplicable reason, too common then?? Another affordable good tune.

 

 

not a good quality vid , thats not nice / ray franklin and his orch . chris records

The backing track sounds great but the vocals don't sound great to me,this could be due to the poor vid though?

Brilliant tune ....used to get played a bit  when i started venturing out !!! Have played it on a few of the occasions i have dj'd ....most definitely could or should replace some of the more expensive but inferior tunes played at the mo !!!!???

Couldn't help noticing this has the same tune as the excellent James Gadson 'Got to find my baby' (Cream) posted last week by Mick Sway. Interesting not the same backing or words, just the same melody - wonder if the writing credits are the same? 

Seeing Charles Wright above described as gorgeous reminded me of this one. Vocal side here shades it for me but love the instrumental flip too - Gorgeous George 'Strange Book' (Homark):-

Wasn't aware of this version at all Chris. Thanks for posting. Though I'll stick with the James Gadson.

This version of the Little Anthony classic, is one for the soul police.

Hardly "soul" I know but I just love the production on it. LP only I think.

Hi Mick, just for the record it wasn't me that posted it initially, I just copied and commented.

James Gadson for me too I think, remember buying it years ago and couldn't believe it was so cheap and apparently unknown. Charles Wright still a classy bit of crossover though and a grower I think.

'Going out of my head' just one of those tunes, love it. I even like Gloria Gaynor's version on the 'I Will Survive' LP but best keep that quiet 

Gail Wynters a touch of the Cilla's but none the worse for it - can't beat a kitchen sink production. Love GW's shimmering 'You don't have to be in love' on Hickory too - mid tempo magic

The Hickory one is new to me. Nice. You're right about the Going Out Of My Head, gotta go some to murder that.

As I was typing that last bit I found myself counting down 3...2.... till some crate digger on here finds one to shatter my illusions lol.
