David Meikle Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 One of Fred’s songs made the Dave Godin Deep Soul Series. This is what Dave had to say..... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Douglaschip Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Interesting note to the above - on the Empire copy of 'She broke his heart' it says the writer is Freddie Pride - when I showed this to Fred when the Brothers of Soul performed in Coventry he became very animated and said 'I wrote that'. - Before I could stop him he took a pen and crossed out Richard Pride on the record and then wrote on the cardboard cover - Fred Bridges BOS - I wrote 'she broke his heart' Fred. Class act so I didn't mind him defacing the record . Adam 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 There's at least one more of Fred's songs in the Deep Soul series - Ruby Andrews on Volume 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Speedlimit Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 He was also responsible for this piece of class 60's soul probably one of the best dancer's of the late casino period 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Seano Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Sorry to read of his passing, I was another of the lucky ones to see them perform in Coventry and I am indebted to all you people posting on this (and so many other threads re so much more); I had no idea he had been so much of a part of sounds I've loved for so long. I'm guessing Rob Moss's upcoming release of 3 records links around these connections. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
David Meikle Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I love this song... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
David Meikle Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Here’s the Masqueraders version from the Love Anonymous album. Somehow or other Don Hart and James Shorter got credited with the music (40 seconds into the video). No wonder Fred got pissed with the industry.

David Meikle Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Fred had two solo recordings. This one using his middle name. Although it’s from 1963 I never tire of hearing it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Polyvelts Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Like many people of my age (55) we discovered NS via the 1979 mod revival . I first heard Fred Bridges music on the Grapevine comp LP ‘This is Northern Soul’. This one just blew me away Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
