Don't remember that tour bit before my time But I do remember about 1970 he appeared at The Odeon Cinema along with (I Think) Martha Reeves & The Vandellas,I couldn't go because being so young me Mam wouldn't let me go into town at night Anyone remember that one?

No news then?? Only my future ex-wife ain't into it an' I have to book me allnighter pass-out well in advance. Cheers Tony

Yeah tis excellent. have you seen The Five Heartbeats--fictionised story of The Dells?? or though I'm not his biggest fan -RAY--- brilliant Tony

Just need to know, for purely selfish reasons Ta Tony

I was given tickets for the film about Ray Charles this week, and while he ain't exactly my cuppa tea,it is excellent. The reviewers tell you at 2 1/2 hours its a bit long----Wrong--imo it aint long enough. Go and see for yourself. And get the order in for theDVD Tony

I prefer I Can't Stop The Rain by Mr. Ruffin, Also look out for two 70's Motown hidden gems David Ruffin--I'm just A Mortal Man Edwin Starr --Love, The Lonely Peoples Prayer. 2 superb laid back growers Cheers Tony

Yes This Poor Heart of Mine is excellent. Re your other point, does anyone have definitive info on which tracks Tammi didn't sing on?? I believe that it was most of the United lp and that the singer was actually Valerie Simpson. Anyone know for sure? Tony

Funny How Time Slips Away--Joe Hinton Awesome tune, we used it as our last record at The Piccadilly Club(M/cr) in the mid 70's. Some kind soul gave it to me on a Vocalion demo. Thankyou. Cheers Tony

Can't keep up with the other thread, its taken on Biblical proportions. However I see that M&T were thrown in the maelstrom, sooo here goes Deep Breath.... Whats your favourite?? 2 from me Memory Chest I can' t believe you love me. Tony

Oh B*llocks First one I thought of as I read the first few lines was Bob Relf Tony

Long After Tonight Is All Over--any version--always a classy ender. I normally stick a coupla slow(er) ones on usually Walter Jackson's Uphill Climb to the Bottom and a Jackie Wilson, either Those Heartaches or No More Goodbyes Tony

That was supposed to be The Shalimars. Held up was actually SHALIMAR on UK RCA. Oh Well Tony

Eerie this is. I was gonna ask meself, as I've been offered one recently for £20 and was wondering if it was a boot or not. Was it pressed? Any info Ta Tony

I DID say sorry Tony

To Much Tony

Eh Up Pal! You missed Build Me Up Buttercup! Sorry I'm Gone TP

Have to agree, Because Of You ain't a bad record, it's just that the easy option brigade have done it to death. And there are so many other great JW's to play Tony

I would have to say no as well. Not only because the performances usually leave something to be desired (with of course notable exceptions). But you normally find you're 15-20 minutes with no music waiting for it to get going. By the way you should recall that at one of Edwins Wigan Shows his backing band were awesome, they grew up to be.....Rose Royce! Cheers Tony

Somebody suggested reviving this thread. On you go Tony

Thanks All Tony

I will. What am I looking for? Tony

David Ruffin Does any one know if this has been pressed?? Cos I got one and it just looks toooo good Ta Tony

Have you been smokin' what Santa's holding???? ON THE LIST Tony

8th from last. TP
