A Peice With A Point Of View On Jimmy's Known Releases Up To The Time Just Before He Died.

The Writer Inadvertently Claimed Freddie Scott As One Of The Producers Of Jimmy's "Lucky Old Sun" On Bert Bern's SHOUT Records But In Fact The Actually, Third Co-Producer Besides: Wally Gold, And Jimmy Himself, Was Buddy Scott, Jimmy's Writing Partner At That Time. Unfortunately This Article Didn't Cover Any Of Jimmy's Brilliant Work In The Jingle Industry That Had A Very Big Impact Around The Soul World... Such Spots As McDonalds "You Deserve A Break Today" Are A Part Of A Huge Legacy Of Sounds Not Readily Forgotten By The Millions Who Hummed Them Every Day.

McDonalds (Circa 1971) 02___McDonalds.mp3

Or The 1971 Clio Award Winning Polaroid (Rec:10/4/70) 01___Polaroid.mp3

Strangely Though It Was Freddie Scotts Recent Passing That Brought This Article To Mind. Freddie Was A Wonderfully Talented Man With A Heart Of Solid Gold And Another Great Jimmy Radcliffe Friend And Fan. Cheers! Freddie :boxing:

This Is A Classic From This Vocal Genius. Written In Part With One Of The Other Co-Writers, That Helped Bring This Great Iconinc Artist To Our Attention, This Track Feature All The Subtlies And Passion That Make Jimmy Radcliffe's Name An Added pleasure And Surprise To Any Playlist, Soul/Northern Soul/R&B Or Otherwise. (Please Excues The Hum From An Off Ground On Me Turntable At The Moment - There Is None Of That In The Actually Recording, Though There Is Very, very Slight Surface Noise, From Dust I'll Assume, But This Item Looks, Plays, And Feels Like The Dream Of Soul Acetate Record That Should Have Been Available To Us All As Opposed To The Few That Can Actually Own It. :unsure: )

So whats the Ray Pollard then mangomm20003?

We should be told :yes::D

Cheers Paul

Paul Me Old Friend - One Day Soon The Instrumental 'Breakaway' Will Arrive Much To You Delight And Surprize At Your Doorstep.

From What I'm Told This Was Ray's Favorite (Pollard) Release Of The Era! It's A 10" 45 VG++ Acetate Of The Jimmy Radcliffe & Buddy Scott Song "WANDERLUST" Released On Decca With Bert "Super Chart" DeCoteaux Aptly Handling The Arrangements.

I Believe Bert Also Had His Hand In The Jackie Verdell Tracks Too. And Then There's Etta James' Flip To Her 1963 Hit "Pushover" That Was The Jimmy Radcliffe & Phil Stern Song "I Can't Hold It In Anymore". I Also Have Jimmy's Original Version, Of "I Can't Hold It In", But Think It To Slow For The Dance Floor Crowd's Palate Of The Moment But Might Suit A Discerning Collector. thumbsup.gif

I Think I Even Have An Instrumental Version Of "Is It True What They Say About You" Round Here Somewhere.

Best Mate

Hey Julep, No Bother As You Lot Have Truly Been The Best And I Know It's Tight Sometimes With Wee Sprogs About. What Say I Knock 50 Off And Let It Go At 475?

I'd Forgotten About This One, Until A Recent Conversation With Andy Rix, But Besides "You Made A Man Of Me" Jimmy Also Did The Samba Flavored Scott English - Ben Raleigh Song "San Juan" For Claus Orgerman's Helios Music That Looks To Have Even Been Given The Release Number: LT10280.

This Must Have Been Done Just Around The Time Of The Antonio Carlos Jobim "Wave" Sessions With A Very Different Feel Than "Man Of Me" Indeed.

"Coney Island" Is Gone But "Why Can't It Be Me" Hath Taken It's Place.

I've Actuualy Had Two Different Friends Have This Played During Their Nuptials. And Jimmy Actually Sang "I Love Therefore I Am" At The Songs Co-Writer, Phil Stern's, Wedding.
