We've touched on fantastic stories/legends concerning our soul heroes. My personal favourite, Bobby Womack, had escapades galore....how can you top having a secret affair with you wife's daughter....

Come on then you in the know! What's your favourite legend about a legend????

Don Gardner from 1957 up till 2007 never a dull moment with this bloke.

Oh Sorry thought the thread was about who is your legend and not a legendary story of your soul legend.

Ok,he is a great carpenter and built the Tru Glo Town studios, big in my book.

Behind the scenes with Smokey Robinson. (Read his autobiography) Also Marvin Gaye of course...

Bobby W. is a character out on his own though, assuming the stories are true! Like the way he engineered "accidently" bumping into Wilton Felder so he could get to do the vocal on "Inherit The Wind"!

Whats the Bobby Womack story?

SOME DETAILS

His cool was glacial: vintage cars, bespoke suits and shirts, and diamonds too classy to call bling. Offstage, mercurial hardly begins to describe a complicated, easily detonated individual who offered, by way of explanation, "I came up hard. Damn hard." Pickett's later-life brushes with the law -- everything from driving over the mayor's lawn in his New Jersey town to shooting off his motel-room lock in the Adirondacks (the Isley Brothers had locked it as a joke on a hunting trip) -- made minor headlines and police dockets.

I suppose when you listen to the spoken intro from Bobby in 'Home is where the heart is' you get the feeling he shoots from the hip.

Marvin Gaye, according to the book 'troubled man' was a walking timebomb, but I suppose brilliance comes with a price. Look at some of the characters on this scene.

'I used to be a warewolf, but Im all right nooooooooooow' as they say in these parts.

Melvin Davis told us a great tale about his band The Jaywalkers melvin Davis, Steve Mancha, Lyman & David Ruffin. Driving back from a gig in upsate Michigan and finding a Roller Coaster on a farm in the middle of nowhere, a farmer had build a great big F**k off wooden roller coaster in an atemp to become the new disneyland or Coney island in Mich.

They all had consumed copulous amounts of illegal substances and got on the coaster--6 hours later they are still on it after riding it constantly, they just couldn't get out of the carriages and the more they tried the more they laughed and it set off again causing them to laugh more !

He tells it really well, and there's 3 BIG LEGENDS involved as well !
