I had this recently sent in to site via email from Ian D I could not find another way on the site to contact you. I am offering this as a correction to the post(s) in 2013 stating that Dionne Warwick was hit by a trolley bus after a concert in Glasgow on November 9th 1964. The post stated that she was on her way out of the theatre after the concert but this is just not so. My girlfriend, now wife, and I were in the lobby trying to get in to the concert when Dionne was carried in after being hit. She was taken into the Odeon and, I assume, taken to hospital from there. The concert continued in front of a very small audience, reduced dramatically by the very thick fog. The Searchers took the lead and explained that the show would go on with each act doing extra songs. As you can imagine, they gave it their all and it was a fabulous concert. I walked my girlfriend home as buses had stopped running. It was the first time that I got to meet her parents. In the early hours of the morning I walked about 5 of the 7 miles home when bus stopped for me and took me the last 2 miles home. Ian Dick Toronto. -

Melba Moore - This Is It - Marvelous......And Getting Better by Melba Moore and Kevin Taylor Just published and available now via kindle, paperback and hard cover editions. The scope of the book is a bit uncertain for me as the release notes do read as if it's more of a self help/discovery style book rather than a factual biography, thought the kindle preview (check it out below) does briefly cover her early career including Melba being part of Voices Inc, and recording with Valerie Simpson. But as said it is very brief. Release Notes his Is It – Marvelous…And Getting Better takes the reader on the highs and lows of Melba’s career. The entertainment veteran shares how she had to pivot time and again, especially in an industry that didn’t always know what to do with the massive voice within her petite being. From Harlem to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the book, Melba moves from wining the esteemed Tony Award for “Purlie!” to continually transitioning to discover what’s next in her career. In the roller coaster ride in life, she’s done it all and never backed down from a challenge. For the reader seeking motivation during moments of giving up, Melba’s This Is It – Marvelous….And Getting Better is the right book for the right time. The story of an icon overcoming the odds and getting better, day by day. -

Ace Records Digging with Keb Darge A distinctive piece of Ace Records history, this vintage leather-bound record chest was found nestled in a corner of the Ace HQ - a timeworn item housing a selection of handpicked soul & funk 45s curated by legendary Scottish dj and producer Keb Darge, credited with coining the term deep funk. Darge’s influence across Northern soul, deep funk, garage punk, and rockabilly has been considerable, with his curatorial work helping to shape the sound and identity of the Ace and Kent Records catalogues. -

'Now Is The Time' by Wanda Felicia with Cold Diamond & Mink Both Vinyl and Cd versions and limited vinyl editions of this album should now be shipping, see the bandcamp link below. 10 tracks Including the talked about "Stuck On You” Release Notes Wanda Felicia’s stunning debut album on Timmion Records, Now Is The Time…, delivers a dynamic selection of soul that feels both timeless and refreshingly present. Backed by the analog grooves of Cold Diamond & Mink, Felicia brings forth a suite of stories sunk in vintage grooves but made just right for any time. With roots in New York’s house and acid jazz scenes – and after spending decades away from the spotlight – Wanda resurfaces with a seasoned voice and spirit, ready to impress anybody with a beating heart. Each track on Now Is The Time… feels lived-in: from the shuffling bounce of “Stuck On You” to the blooming optimism of “Flowers in the Garden” and the introspective funky poetics of “Reflections of Love.” Throughout the album, Felicia’s delivery is effortless, elevated by Cold Diamond & Mink’s rich but tightly knit palette of rhythm section and horn riffs. Together they create a rootsy soundscape that channels late 1960s to early 1970s soul with a modern touch. Whether you’re drawn in by the beat balladry of “All in the Game” or the southern soul of “Until You’re Mine,” this album creates its own space beyond trends – celebrating craft, emotion, and timeless groove. -
