Popular Post Rick Scott Posted January 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Was talking to Mary Chapman yesterday afternoon (Jan 14th) and you will be pleased to know she was quite upbeat and Cheerful considering her health and and the now usual issues she has to contend with, we got round to the usual (all things soul related) as you do, and reminiscing about about Cleethorpes (mainly the Pier) and She mentioned a record i used to play there that she still loves to this day and still has in her collection so that has prompted me to start off the new Soul Plays And Favs-2021, the Weird And Wonderful "I Still Care" Virgil Murrays Tomorrows Yesterday (Kool Kat) Also Came Out On 'Airtown' Edited January 15, 2021 by Rick Scott missed word correction And more info 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Westender Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 That's a nice one. Alex sounds a bit like Thelma Houston to me. That isn't exactly a bad thing, of course.... Belting track from a one off album that featured Kenny Hamber on vocals. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Modernsoulsucks Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Been mainly buying reggae recently but a couple that may be of some interest to some on here. Jack Radics has a really distinctive voice but usually his stuff is too "digital" for me but I thought this was a nice version Bought this for lovers version of "Sad girl" but on flipping it Finally a nice reggae/sweet soul cut that's almost a bit of a Northern midtempo dancer. It's a 12" so the DJ at the end I think is Butch when he's had a drink. Edited January 22, 2021 by Modernsoulsucks 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

She's predominantly a session singer, often perfroming on same sessions as Mortonette Jenkins (Jodi Mathis) but she did also release a 'passable' version of Billy Ocean's - Love Really Hurts Without You on Roxbury.

Soulstrutter Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) The Gabriels - Love And Hate In A Different Time - a recent release (Oct 2020) - One of those off-the-wall 'marmite' tunes you'll either love or hate.

Gold Band Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Blew my Christmas money early with a big spend of nearly £20 with P&P on Clifford Binns - You've Got To Help Me (Carrie 014) the slower version of 6501 which I still haven't received, but I bought closer to home for my second purchase of 2021 less than a £10 note with P&P for this on the Atco label not the Atlantic.
