Quite an interesting claim that Kev makes on his Myspace page:

"Created the music for the popular KFC TV Ads"

I honestly thought it was the original artists and musicians who created the music. Never realised that Kev was that talented. All credit to him

I have to say bern, he does have a striking resemblance.

At what time did he aquire the Groucho Marx eyebrows that he currently sports now?

==============

You wake up one morning and they're there Then for some reason they keep growing out until they reach the stage where a topiographer would have a field day. At the same time, they seem to get smaller on the horizontal, till if you're not careful, you have little Hitler moustaches over both your eyes........ its very sad honestly

Was it VALENTINO'S Bucket ????

Priceless reply...lol Eggs you can boil them, poach them, fry them, make cakes with them and bugger me

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Seems like a very generous offer

Something esle Kev can add to his blog.

By adding my name to the title of a thread Soul Source gets nearly as many posts as the Legendary Ian Levine

I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing!!!

Hi Rob,

Yes I think it was, blimey the memories, looking through a load of rubbish i have stashed under the bed last week, found a boxing day special ticket( pale blue), 1983, price £1.50 for trotters, Kev Roberts, Dave Evison, and i think it may have been Gary Rushbrook, dont know if you went to this one Rob, but I can remember it being stacked out.

more than enough topics running through this thread now. can i suggest to those discussing other stuff to raise the topics elsewhere please. i am sure they would be welcomed.

cheers

Shane

Andy Stewart , 8 weeks on the chart, number 4 high position dec 89 on Sloane records

...I've got a 12 inch white label promo of it, if any Kev obsessive out there wants to make me an offer

TONE

Hi Rob ......

Never mind Kev ......

If you remember , In the 70s , I was Borat's double ..... Niiice !

Little known fact.... new music was recorded for follow up ads for K.F.C.

And guess what? Kev Roberts was involved. [/quote

As Mikey said earlier there are a few things guaranteed to get people rushing to their keyboards, Kev Roberts and his exploits is one of them

Never cared too much for Northern in KFC ads ...

If I mention Ian Levine then and the fact (!) that there's a CD due soon of new Levine productions via Kev Roberts, will that make the thread number go right through the roof?

The CD has some fantastic stuff on it !

good link Ian.

I find I disagree with some of the points that in town Mikey made.

And I miss Dan. No one gets angry about Britain anymore. Its just not right.

With superbly well written sleeve notes and a beautifully designed cover, it should make them both an absolute fortune, I'm sure folks will wish them all the best with it . . .

Nice of you to join in Roger. So what's your view of Kev Robert's claim to have created the music in the popular KFC ads ?

It's clear the other sycophant doesn't have anything to add of value, but perhaps you do ?

Not to get off topic, but I read your post on that thread, Simsy. I understand your reaction to the songs used in the KFC ads...is it because it is a chicken chain or the purity of the music? I would assume that the powers that be are paying the royalties to the RIGHT person as in the recent TALBOT'S ads who were using Smokey Robinson/Miracles IT'S A GOOD FEELING, which I remember discussing on another soul forum. What irks me is when songs such as these are being used, as stated on the thread you posted, the record goes up AND there seems to me more of a demand for this "new" record, especially among younger audiences as these ads are aimed for the younger viewing audience. Another thing...as a DJ whenever I play this music, I also get annoyed (not visibly) when someone tells me what they heard on the ads is new music when I have to "school" them and say "no darling...it was around even before I was thought of"!

Now to the subject here, I find it interesting if not amusing that what I have read before and what it's proven here is a bit surreal, especially after attending the last SoulTrip.

Never mind that Dave, it says he's got 25 friends

Hi Kev I take your looking in or have been,with a big smile on your face,its a funny old world or should I say strange world of northern soul.

Are the sleeve notes written by Russ Winstanley

Yeah was written quite a time ago that one, as you may notice by the number of (now) unregistered members!

It was a little bit over the top looking back at it. However my problem was that I preferred the music be underground, maybe pure etc to be appreciated by true soul fans. Rather than sold on for a fast buck. Just cheapened it a bit for me and left a bit of a sour and somewhat greasy taste in the mouth.

Sycophant??

Is a sycophant an ill Elephant?

Is a sycophant an ill Elephant?

Thick as well then

Just for you Simon, here's a definition:

a self-seeking, servile flatterer; fawning parasite.

Sycophant??

Come on Roger, don't be shy. What's your view on Kev Robert's claim to have created the music ?

Does this mean I'm banned from KFC

Congratulations in order Dave...you started the most popular thread for ages!

I bow to your superior intelligence.

Does this mean I'm banned from KFC

No, but you will be banned from my car, if you bring that bloody mobile again

Does this mean I'm banned from KFC

My you do hold a grudge

C'mon Soul Sourcers! With a bit of team effort I'm sure we can push this thread over the 2000 hits mark by the end of the day.

It's mildly amusing.

She needs that ringtone when she is out with me

You'll never offer me & Bridget Jones a lift again

Er... he wasnt alone with this look in the 80s

Alas, that is sadly true

Anymore of us with the 80's Kev style out there ? Come on don't be shy !

My you do hold a grudge

I suppose I'm just jealous because he's got 25 friends

They're probably not real friends but boots he bought off ebay

...oh come on why would Kev need to buy friends, he could get someone to press him a few up

Alas, that is sadly true

Anymore of us with the 80's Kev style out there ? Come on don't be shy !

Oh go on then .....
