Guest Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Bad news this Dave. I had a real soft spot for Pookie. I saw him perform at Hemsby with The Spaniels 20 something years ago and he was superb. I will admit now to being the one who wrote 'Pookie Hudson is God' on the basement wall of 'Record And Tape Exchange' in Pembridge Rd, Notting Hill in 1979. RIP Pookie Hudson.

Guest Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Likewise Mikey...... " This Gets To Me " made me to want to hear more of James ' Pookie ' Hudson , and as a result of the wanting , I was lead to discovering and enjoying his work as lead singer of The Spaniels. As a lover of doo - wop , I was aware of The Spaniels , but only from their classic " Goodnight Sweetheart , Goodnight " . I am glad that I did ; for that trek of discovery lead me to enjoying such tracks as " ( You Gave Me ) Piece Of Mind " , " Red Sails In The Sunset " and " Three Little Words " amongst others . The Spaniels are now one of my favourite listening pleasures . Thanks Pookie . Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pomonkey Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Nice obituary of Pookie in today's New York Times FYI Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Nice obituary of Pookie in today's New York Times FYI In " The Independent " too, interesting to find out how his nickname came about....I cut out and keep obituaries of anyone connected to R&B/soul/jazz/funk...all genres of Black American Music in fact, been doing it for years....only now it's becoming more regular, which is to be expected of course, but it's always sad to turn to the obituaries and see a face or name that's been a part of your life through the music they made......like yesterday, along with a pic of Thornton James " Pookie " Hudson, in his prime.....R I P.
