My friend Ray has just passed and losing him will impact my life so much 😭

He wrote over 200 songs and impacted the Northern Soul scene with a number of tunes and one in particular

He became a member in 2009 and as he had not got a copy of the Anderson Brothers left, I sent him mine.

Peace my man and may you continue to write in heaven

Lyrics of dreaded 'deja vu' feelings. Through the most realistic as fantastic vocal rendition by the Anderson Brothers backed with exceptional musical arrangements. Groove baby !

Thrilling emotional immersion experience for me at every play since 36 years ! Thanks a lot Mister Ray for sharing your slice of life with us in humble honesty and with such talent. + RIP +

RIP Ray.

I also rated his own version of "I can see him"..put some zest into it.

Ed, great record.

 

 

I was just watching a clip about Benny Troy RIP and that he'd cut one of Ray's songs, mamas side of the bed...but I can't find a copy of it anywhere.

Anybody got a copy, please post.
