Guest Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 There's no point in answering people's comments on the thread about "Souled Out", as they risk being deleted, and I have no wish to type out comments that will be removed. Mike asked those going off-topic to start a new thread, and so I have. I will try to be at least more civil than I am on A.N.S., but I refuse to be castrated. I will not post on the "Souled Out" thread unless it is to specifically comment on items relevant to the film, and my abject horror at the Soul Police dissing it before it's even been made. I have opened this thread specifically to answer comments and fight back. I realise that if someone puts a nasty comment on one of my videos on YouTube I can be as rude as I like back to them and delete their comments, and block them from having any further access to my videos at all. I have no such luxury here. As I said, I shall try to be civil, certainly to most, but find it very hard to be civil to those few for whom I have ZERO respect. Let the curtain go up.....

Well no not me personally Steve because practically everyone liked that when it came out...reminds me of our youth club and you having to more or less push people out the way to get a space on the dancefloor when it came on (though that had something to do with lines of girls dancing in formation ) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It was huge at Wigan, till Russ banned Richard from playing it any more in late 1976. That started the feud. That one action singlehandedly started a feud that ended up splitting the whole scene.

In 1977 it topped Billboard's disco charts for seven weeks. To American lovers of that era, it's one of the great iconic records, and was a huge American hit because of it.

I know you did it a few times but is there a story of contempt between you and Chris Burton No because as soon as Tony was established there, he brought me down to DJ there too. My first night was the legendary "Major Lance live at The Torch" night, in November 1972. By the time the club closed in April 1973, Jebby, Colin and Minshull had all gone, and I was the head DJ.
