Michael V Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Such a sad loss- what a thrilling,atmospheric anthem 'Job Opening' is,that we've loved and danced to over the decades.Another fine Soul -and Doo-Wop- voice gone; Sammy & the Del-Larks ' 1960 45','I Never Will Forget' is a lovely Doo-Wop ballad with a fine lead from Sammy,long popular with R&B vocal group fans & collectors. Sam's 67' Vision solo 45 'SOS For Love' is excellent,too as are his early 70's Phil- LA of Soul 45's as Tyrone Ashley Thanks so much for the music ,Sammy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mick Boyle Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Sammy's funeral today - RIP Met him on the New York Soul Trip & Prestatyn Weekender. He was a great talker and had so much time for his UK fans. He said he written Job Opening in 63 and recorded in 64. How ahead if its time was that. A sad day - Mick 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
