Can anyone oblige please.....I have his earlier stuff but the first time I heard him was on an old wheel tape and at first I thought it was Ray Charles when he hit those higher notes......or was it the bombers kickin in'......LOL.

Not a lot of people know this, but Derek was half of the Top Notes, who did the original version of "Twist And Shout" in 1961. The other half of the 'group' was none other than Howard Guyton!

Cheers Tony

just shows how ignorant I am mate

I always thought the Isleys did the original................

Hi

These are the only two I have by Derek Martin

"Sly Girl" came out on a few different labels and Is an extremely good record to have in the collection,

at a fairly low cost too, definitely value for money.

Tuba 2010 - Sly Girl / Soul Power

Buttercup Records 45-009 - You Blew It Baby / Moving Hands Of Time

If You Go - derek martin - sue

12001 refosoul

Many thanks fellas

very much appreciated......

And don't forget "Breakaway" on Roulette, magic uptempo dancer!!

The flipside to "Breakaway", entitled "Take Me Like I Am", is probably my fave with him. Superb deep soul track. Apart from that, both sides of his "Daddy Rollin' Stone" 45 are hard to beat. But he released a whole stack of good records so let's just embrace them all.

hia all derek martin - "falling out of love" (vibration)

awesome record.

If You Go - derek martin - sue

Fantastic tune this Chalky, and from the other side "Count To Ten"

Count To Ten - derek martin - sue

following from Chalky's post with "If You Go" the flip side, which I think is another fine Derek Martin tune... Steve

A French friend of mine Frederic Adrian wrote a good article on the man based on a recent interview. It was published by In The Basement a few issues ago. Derek still performs in Europe working out of Switzerland where he lives. He was supposed to be performing in Paris soon.
