Maurice Williams - Being Without You - Deesu

One of the finest soul records ever recorded and my favourite live performance ever. When he sings "and they'll tell you"... goosebumps at the ready...

Camaro's first for this girl with the Continental boys second, love them both x

So sad x

So sad x

I remember him at Stafford; well, Stafford train station in the morning a couple of times. What I will say though is he cut and pasted my comments about Pete Lawson etc from here without the courtesy of asking. More than a bit cheeky at best, lazy and unprofessional journalism at worst. Bought the book after being made aware of the above, haven't read it though lol

What Steve said, he's absolutely gorgeous Peter x

Stunning!

That's awesome Steve!!! Colours are amazing x

That's the thing right there. If I didn't hear JH ever again I would be a happy gal. The Artistics however, different kettle of fish. Always been in JH's shadow so never got the recognition it rightly deserved. I also think the cheaper vs more expensive stigma plays a part, as it does so often. Take One Thousand Wonders by TSU Tornadoes / Archie Bell for example - AB is a thousand times better and cheaper. Rarity and value never trumps quality for me. But that's for a future battle to decide ... Like Mal and others have said, these are great threads and what it's all about. Preferences shared and not a hissy fit in sight. Old school soulsource. Great stuff!

Despite hearing JH first, it's Artistics all day long for me. The awesome vocal, arrangement, depth and all-round soulfulness puts it leagues ahead. One of the best groups ever to hit a recording studio

This is so sad, I can't believe it x

Merry Christmas Mick

Tyrone Ashley - I Want My Baby Back - Phil la of Soul

Mick was one of the first people I met when I started going to nighters, good friends ever since. I will miss his kindness, his infectious sense of fun and can't believe I won't see his unique dancing again. Life won't be the same without him x

Ricky Allen - Cut You Loose - Tamboo Celebrities - I Choose You - Boss

Hi all Went to visit Louis over the weekend and his family asked me to ask if anyone has any nighter photos of him that they could have please. If you want to send them to me I will happily forward them on, I know they will be appreciated x
