Tomangoes Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 There have been a good few artists turn up over the last few years in the UK and at the various overseas events. Who is missing that you would like to see most ? Of course some readers may know if the artists put forward are still alive and kicking or not, and therefore add/eliminate them from contention. I will start with: Mickey Champion - What good am I. (only because I can sing along to the lyrics and it was a big toon in the mid 70s). This artist was playing in Los Angeles at Easter according to the local rags over there. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Lloydee Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 How about Little Anthony & the Imperials or Patti Austin, Nancy Wilson & Betty Harris. All these have toured in the US during 2006, even if they came over and done a handful of evenings like Candi Staton did, I'd travel the miles Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The Isley Brothers live singing there motown songs but that would never happen. Jimmy James again would be good and people like Diana Ross with her supremes, Stevie Wonder. Beverly Ann, Martha Reeves. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bazza Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Having thought about it,I prefare to remember them the way they were when they made the tunes,I find it a bit sad to see them as they are now.

jocko Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Having thought about it,I prefare to remember them the way they were when they made the tunes,I find it a bit sad to see them as they are now. I dont suppose thats very nice really ,but it is how I feel Bazza I am afraid I agree with this, while its great to see them getting the adulation they deserve, many of the weekender acts make me feel quite sad thinking what they may have been. Its no coincidence the best are always the ones that are still performing. Of the last of my heroes still alive and performing that I have not seen are Ashford and Simpson, who I have just found out are here in Birmingham, so that will be another life ambition ticked off!! I wont bore anyone with my seeing Aretha story again as its on here somewhere, but for Sean H I saw the Neville Brothers last year at Poretta and they were fantastic, maybe not as much vocals as I had hoped but just a great funky performance. Of todays acts I think I would like to see Anthony Hamilton/Jahiem as both are old school style vocalists recording modern music at the top of their game, to me the best time to see anybody. For those with a wider interest than just Northern I would tip Kindred as a great live act to see, fantastic vocals and just great together.
