One of the greatest northern writers has got to be Mr Van McCoy - Marke Jackson, Kenny Carlton, Vonettes, to name but a few................................

Now, I'm a little bit challenged since I dont have me rekkords to hand but seem to remember that there are still some lesser known tunes which deserve recognition, let's see if I can get a dialogue started - how about :

Teen Turbans on Loma

Jeannie Screen on Josie

Marvellos on Modern

"The Hustle"

He also did something called "You're Gonna Make Me Love You" which came out on Okeh and has had the odd play

Pete,

Do I detect a hint of sensibility here............. It's most unlike you ..........if so you must be having an off day !

..........I actually love the hustle.............

especially if it's broken in two or more pieces !

Real records please !

"Love You can Depend On" Brenda & Tabulations

I listened to this on Soul Club the other day, I'm sure it's got the same backing as another track. Problem is I can't think what, does anyone know what the other track is, please?

Sweet and easy - Van McCoy (is the inst of Brenda & Tabs)

Thanks, Pete. I knew I'd heard it somewhere got it on a CD.

Got to be Mark Jackson "I'll Never Forget You" for me, as far Mr. McCoy is concerned.

'I'm in love with you baby' by the Vanster himself on Buddah a bit good 'an all, although I think it's Chris Bartley on vocals.

Jim.

Bobby Reed - Time Is Right... & If I Don't Love You, both written arranged produced etc by Mr McCoy
