One of my all time fave oldies is Roy Hamilton's "Cracking Up Over You" :rolleyes: Many others though by him faves, Panic Is On, You Can Count On Me and of course You Shook Me Up :thumbsup:

Like Roy, Chuck Jackson does the dancers just as good as the ballads. Often listen to the cd Kent put together, hardly a bad track on it :)

Have got to agree there - he was spectacular - I managed to be the one to grab his cummerband when he threw it into the crowd - god knows how I managed that at my height; I lent it to a friend for some posh ball, and was quite upset when she brought it back washed!!! Am sure we have some photos from that night and will nag Nick to scan some in for others to see.

All The Best,

Chuck Jackson - Can any of you 'fonts of knowledge' tell me if 'I've Got The Need' was released on US 'All Platinum'?? :thumbsup:

I'm positive I've seen one on the Blue AP label, but a mate said it only got issued on UK AP, the nasty cheap looking things that they are.

Which brings me to my point, I would like a US copy (if there is one), anyone care to point me in the right direction??

Ta very much.

Jamie :rolleyes:

Chuck Jackson - I've Got The Need

For Roy it has to be "Cracking Up"closely followed by "You shook me up"

Love loads of records by Chuck 'Mr Emotion' Jackson. The first Chuck Jackson I ever heard was not one of his Wand records but the Motown "Girls, girls, girls'" that I listened to on one of those earlyish Motown Greatest hits albums in the late 1960s.

Jamie it did come out on US All platinum LP titled Chuck Jackson "Needing You Wanting You ". It`s a really nice LP with tracks"love lights"," I`ve got the need" and " beautifull woman " and some really nice slower stuff as well.

I`m sure John Manship has a copy for £15,well worth a shout.

Hope this helps mate. :thumbsup:

one that's not been mentioned so far is Roy Hamilton's 'She's got a heart'. Alway's thought that one is totally under-rated. 'Panic' is probably my favourite roy

:thumbsup:

Of Chuck, another one I haven't heard out in yonks is his 'Have you heard about the fool'. Used to be big at the Wilton for Saus in the early days. However, my fave is probably 'Hand it over' followed closely by 'Let somebody love me'.

Big Chuck :rolleyes:

Roy Hamilton can't hold a candle to Chuck Jackson

link

Oh yes he can. Chuck Jackson is great, no doubt about that. Was dancing to the alternate 'hand it over' last night, fantastic. Roy the boy on the other hand, as good if not ahead by a nose imo. Earthquake is great, managed to pick up an Epic issue of this from Manship. Also you shook me up demo from Andy D - brilliant record. As is Reach out for me, Crackin' up, Panic is on, Don't come crying to me and I also like the latin-esq 'She makes me wanna dance.

Can understand Earthquake not being everyone's cuppa tea. It is early, but I like that sort of stuff. Paid £90 for a demo, 'clicks' were so bad, had to get a refund and paid £125 for the yellow Epic issue. I'll save you posting "£125 for that turd" or sim. :rolleyes: Never heard it played out. However You shook me up is a power house, it has balls equivalent to that of Gene Toones, or Soul Joe Clements (another record you hate if memory serves) imo.

Roy Hamilton......"A Thousand Streets Under A Black Sky". Chilling ballad that evokes every bad memory from a million breakdowns, unremitting it never fails to let the listener rest, you end up like an ether addict...you know its bad for your mind and soul....but you gotta' have more and more.

This is without a doubt a great tune by Roy Hamilton, and gets my vote. :thumbsup:

As for Chuck Jackson, the Motown release 'What am I gonna do without you baby' is a beauty, along with 'The breaking point'.

:thumbsup:

I'm a sucker for stuff like that.

I absolutely love Gil Bernal 'Can You Love A Poor Boy', but hardly anyone I know likes it. Infact, many a nose has been turned up at the mention :D

As if by some co-incidence, on the RCA label, like some of our Roys' stuff :shades:

Just love that atmospheric big production sound :P

Horses for courses and all that crap. :D

I got his pants. He'd obviously been nervous beforehand.

Agree with most of the sentiments here, Roy Hamilton = awesome but Chuck Jackson = awesome + 1.

Best male vocalist ever IMO = a tie between Ray Pollard and Chuck (though the Impressions are up there too as vocalists.

Pete may not have said it but i will whistling.gif the other really wierd thing is that i agree with the rest of his choices Chuck and Levi although i would probably add Marvin Jnr in there as well but hey whistling.gif

In fact if i'm really honest i never really liked Cackin Up very much either so for me he really can't do any right :D:lol: at all :D
