Cody sounds like a bird to me Malc! Think you may have missed the Male Version in title bar. It's still early Malc!

Hiya mate, Still getting out and about ??. We'll have to meet up at a soulnight sometime .

rugby at benn hall on 21st if you fancy it!!

Cody Michaels, female version.

There is a male vocal using the same backing track, with different lyrics, cant remember who it is tho! A well known artist "If I can't have you" might be the title? It is certainly the first line!

It's Michael Christian - If I Can't Have You - Concept. Pat Brady's old Nolan Chance cover up from the mid 80's. It is in Refosoul as I've posted it, look for Nolan Chance. Tried to copy the link but was having none of it

Thought it was a well known name, always thought it was Nolan Chance! Cheers Chalky, learn something new every day!

Oops ; Hands up in admittance mode to dropping a testie ........

I have had an " intimate " listen to CM again via a sound clip on t'internet , as opposed to hearing it through speakers at a venue ( and that has not been since the old king died ) .......

What strikes me on this listening of " SD , FTW " , is that it carries the same backing track as Liza Mae's " I've Got a Juicy Mouth Baby " on Concept ........

So what is the connection between the two ?

thanks guys, thats brill of you !! haunted me for ages!! now to get the vinyl ,lol,all best wozza

No real connection between the three tracks, other than they all use the same backing tracks. Liza Mae's "I've Got A Juicy Mouth Baby" is the B-side of "The Watergate Jazz". Judging by the A-side title, I would date the Concept 45s at between 1972 - 1974 (to tie up with the Watergate Scandal), giving a difference of 6 to 8 years between Cody Michaels and the Concept outings.

There is also a FOURTH single with the same backing track: "Up Until The Night Time Comes" by Liza Mae, also on Concept.

Go for it matey..............!

Does anybody else know the Jan Snow song with the same backing, also on Concept--called "Someday I'll Land"? Can't find out much about this one, seems kinda crazy there are 5 songs with the same backing track! Thanks!

there is another 7 days 52 weeks by a male artist, think it's on rca? not sure, a bit poppish (as with cody) can't remember the artist but caveman pete watkins picked it up from raistrick earlier this year, it's the only copy i and others have heard of.

They share the same backing track.

This thread has amused me as I've just started transferring all my old tapes onto my pc. One of them was a Gary Spencer tape from 92ish that had this covered up ( I didn't know the real artist) as well as Athens Rogues, Bill Bush and Junior McCants and others all covered up. Will post up when back next week as I still don't know all of them! Soul Brothers Six c/up was one I remember "Baby's Comin' Home" - any ideas?!

Rich

seen this pop up a few times over years so using the lightening fast refosoul live search ( )

got three of the ones discussed

LISA MAY - IVE GOT A JUICY MOUTH BABY -

MICHAEL CHRISTIAN - IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU - CONCEPT -

CODY MICHAELS - 7 DAYS 52 WEEKS -

anyone throw up the other two mentioned ?

Hi Rich, I've got the same tape or one similar. The Soul Brothers Six is The Idols - Check Her Out - USA.

That's the one Chalky, nice one! Price? Will post up the track listing when back home next week. Others on it included Shirley Edwards, Hayes Cotton (Claire) etc. Ace tape even if it'd been put together today!

Rich

Christ how bad is that!

I did warn you ..

I did warn you ..

jEEZ MISSED MICHAEL CHRISTIAN LAST YEAR ON EBAY LOST OUT TO ONE BIDDER . GUTTED!!!!!THAT WENT FOR A HEFTY AMOUNT AND WAS ONLY VG COND !!!

Concept was a strange label. Don't know for sure but it possibly has a connection to the people behind Merben.

To me each use of the Cody Michaels backing track is poor and the kind of thing that gives Northern Soul a bad name to outsiders but I am a fan of the Richie Cee 45 on the label "Games Too Cold Blues", which is a wonderfully orchestrated Philly ballad.

Mr Cee himself isn't the greatest singer in the world (like his labelmates) and there are distinctly dodgy vocal moments but the overall effect is tremendous.

I think deep soul aficionados Pat Biggerstaff or Les Fisher have posted it in Refosoul in the past.

There is, of course, another version, not yet mentioned!

Big spin for Russ, If I remember correctly

Edited April 26, 201015 yr by Trevski

I have yet another version of this on another Philly label by James T. Biggs, with yet another set of completely different words.
