MR. FRANK JACKSON - sadly missed View full article

And i felt it just wouldn't be right to let today pass without saying just a few words about this unforgetable man. MR. FRANK JACKSON As some of you will already know, it was the funeral of Frank Jackson today. And i felt it just wouldn't be right to let today pass without saying just a few words about this unforgetable man. Frank Jackson, has got to be one of the most humble, respected, dedicated, enthusiastic, kind,loved and most knowledgeable people this scene will ever know! His pure passion for soul music, the way he carried himself as a man, the way he so completely loved his wife Maureen and son Frankie and genuinely cared about those who were blessed with having him as a friend, will never be matched or equaled. He was one on his own....one fantastic guy! So wether you were lucky enough to know Frank Jackson or not is irrelevant. This man helped make the soul scene what it is today.... AND FOR THAT WE ARE ALL TRULY GRATEFUL!! Way to go Frank! Love you and miss you loads, Joan,Tony and all your many,many friends xxxxxxxxxxx Ps: Be sure to give that Lawson fella loads!!

STAFFORD RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB, STAFFORD. Last Friday night we travelled down to Stafford to a soul nite run by a very good friend of ours, Shute. We thought it would be a good night but instead it was an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC NIGHT!! The music was incredible with Shute doing a TOP SPOT playing the likes of Eddie Daye & Four Bars (Shrine)- Guess who loves you - which i hadn't heard played in years and sounded mega!! And with the immense stature of the brilliant CARL WILLINGHAM as the guest the 3B's Soul trio couldn't lose! Haven't got a clue what 3B's stands for but it should be THE BIGGEST, THE BEST, THE B***OCKS!!! THIS SOUL NITE IS GONNA PUT STAFFORD BACK WHERE IT SHOULD BE - ON TOP!!! Well done lads..... See ya next month!! Loads, Joan xxx

PETER HODGKINSON - "BIG HODGE" - A SAD, SAD DAY As a lot of you will already know, Peter Hodgkinson from Crewe, better known to everybody as "BIG HODGE", died last Thursday in hospital. His funeral is being held tomorrow, Thursday 19th August at Crewe Crematorium at 2pm. I'm sure i can speak for everyone when i say what a truly nice guy Hodge was. A big guy, for sure, in every sense of the word. His sheer love for life, for his wife and family, for the music and soul scene that was so important to him, and for those of us lucky enough to be his friends, will never be equalled. He will be surely missed. I would just like to say to his wife and family that our hearts and prayers are with you all.... now and always. Lots of Love and God Bless, Joan xxx

Must say two cracking toons!! Glad to see there are people out there with good taste prepared to give cheap records like these the chance they deserve!! Have had both for a few years now - but gotta say Otis Leavill (for me anyway) is definitely "THE DADDY!!" A few others of his that i've got and would say are well worth giving ear time to are "Let me Live" - Blue Rock "Keep on Loving"- Columbia "Right to cry"- Lucky "I'm Amazed"- Limelight And on the subject of cheapies - check this one out - talk about a lot of bang for ya buck!! Brenda & Tabulations - That's in the Past - Dionn PURE MAGIC!!
-
Can honestly say i have never seen loads of these records in boxes - or on e-bay. Fantastic record - got mine years ago for around £35 if i remember rightly. But that was years ago and very cheap as far as i'm concerned. This record has way over a £100's worth of soul in it all day long!! Especially when you consider some of the other records that are going for the same price these days. You see this for sale at £ 100 - £125 laddie - snap their hand off and get yourself one truly great record!!
-
Gotta be "WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT LOVE" - .....AWESOME!!
-
[size=7 The best lyrics have got to be - Shirley Whals - "That's How Long" - King "TELL THE DJ'S THEY' VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY....... UNTIL THEY HAVE NO MORE RECORDS TO PLAY !!!" .......'nuff said!!
-
KEITH CURTIS - GOT TO KEEP YA BABY - SMOKE What can i say.....except i challenge anyone to try & play this on their armpit!! AWESOMMMME!!
-
Well what can i say except that you didn't mention FRED!! Fred Lawson - to those who didn't know Pete personally - was Pete's cat! Fred, though, was no ordinary cat!! Oh no - this cat was definitely a Lawson! All i can say is - like Pete - Fred had the knack of being "misunderstood". He comes walking into the house one day with half his head missing and another time with a noose around his neck!! And FUNNY - in his own feline way every bit as funny as Pete! Completely devestated Pete when Fred sadly passed on. Pete wrote an obituary about Fred and buried him at the bottom of the garden. Which, i am sad to say, is just bare earth because nothing has grown in that spot since that day....not a flower ...not even a blade of grass!! Go figure..? HAPPY DAYS INDEED. Peter Lawson was, IS, soul. If they were to put the word Northern Soul into the dictionary it woul read Northern Soul - PETE LAWSON. End of. Loads Joan xxx

Just a few motown toons that i think are well worth giving a little bit of ear time- MARVIN GAYE & TAMMI TERRELL - GIVE IN (JUST CAN'T WIN) - ALL I NEED LP BUILD MY WORLD AROUND YOU DONT LET ME LOSE THIS DREAM } SUPREMES & 4 TOPS - DYNAMITE LP DO YOULOVE ME JUST A LITTLE FOUR TOPS - LOVE FEELS LIKE FIRE - TAMLA MOTOWN SOFTOUCH - AFTER YOU GIVE YOUR ALL - PRODIGAL FANTASTIC 4 - PIN POINT IT DOWN - SOUL

WAS PLAYED LAST FRIDAY NIGHT AT LIME STREET BY ALEX JONES FANTASTIC RECORD..... YEEEEHAA!!
-
BOBBY ADAMS & BETTY LOU - DR.TRUELOVE-TRAX - £4.00 bought this off a lad called Paul Merrett from London - 1987ish ...he's a celebrity chef these days, you know..... JESSIE JOHNSON- LEFT OUT- OLD TOWN ( ISSUE!! ) & EDDIE HILL- NOTHING SWEETER - M.S bought both these off a lad called Steve Smith from Gloucester at Notts Palais for the mad sum of - £11.00 for the two.....HAPPY DAYS!! Would love to know what happened to him(and if he's got any records left!) Still got Jessie Johnson & Eddie Hill - got rid of t'other a good few years back but got George Hobson with the proceeds......'nuff said.

I feel proud to be able to say that Pete Lawson was one of my best mates - a right pain in the arse at times but that only made you love him more! Talking about records - i actually got my Doris Smith -"No Good Guy"-Limelight off Gilly and Nogger at Keele the weekend before he passed and it was Pete who gave me the money for it - £40! That record means more to me than anything - partly because Pete bought it for me but partly because it reminds me so much of that weekend. His last weekend....he had a soul nite in Burscough on the Friday night and he was one of the Dj's - anyone who was there will remember just how nervous he was about doing a spot!! Shitting it would be more like it!! That was the thing about Pete - those who didn't know him personally would never believe there was a side like that to him - but he was a very sensitive guy, larger than life most definitely but with a heart of pure gold. Without Pete Lawson the scene would not be what it is today - and for that we are all truly grateful....! Joan xxxx
-
Just thought i'd mention that it's Pete's anniversary today! Can hardly believe it's 11 years ago that the soul scene lost one of it's most colourful characters!! Love him or hate him you couldn't help but admire and respect him! NOBODY loved Soul like Pete Lawson - and i very much doubt ever will.... Loads, Joan xxxx
-
DJ'S!! (.... why say 30 or so words when it's a one word answer!)

Really am very,very surprised that you say you never here this track played ....

On 6th Feb i posted a message asking if anyone had heard anything about Gaz getting his records back. Well, i'm sorry to say that Gaz rang me yesterday to tell me that HE HAS NOT GOT HIS RECORDS BACK! Gaz Kellett is without a doubt one of the most dedicated, loyal, honest, passionate, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and well respected people that has ever been on the soul scene. Whether you know Gaz personally or not is irrelevant. Each and everyone of us - no matter who we are ....( or who we think we are..) should feel ashamed of ourselves! Because SOMEBODY OUT THERE KNOWS SOMETHING...!! and until they have the courage to do the right thing and Gaz gets his records back - THE SOUL SCENE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF!! So come on , DO THE RIGHT THING......PLEASE. Loads Joan xx

I couldn't agree more! ALL Djs should be given spots based on what's in their box.... NOT THEIR BOXERS!! Loads, Joan xx
