New Soul Releases
I can certainly hear "Shake It Up" by The Vibrations in "If Not For Love". Just listened to whole album today and it's very good.

Media Talk - Movies and Tv
The second series of The Gold on BBC1 is equally as good as the first. Probably the best series I've seen this year (along with Mob Land)

Walter Scott R.I.P.
RIP Walter. Another one of greats has sadly left us. So many great songs. Unfortunately, most people only know It's A Love Thing and And The Beat Goes on, but there was so much more. I particularly like this Gary Taylor penned song from 1987. Congrats to those who saw them live. I never got the chance. Their last visit to the UK was about 8 years ago.

Fantasy football
Another season ends and bloody Gareth tops the league again, despite a slow start. I finish in a record 2nd place for me. Despite a slow start and a wobble towards the end I'm pleased with the progress I'm finally making after 20+ years of playing 😀. It's all good fun and it was good to see 21 of us take part. Let's start again in two months time. Oh, congratulations Gareth 😀

Big in London too late 90s. When was this released - early 60s?

Billy Ocean red light, Northern soul?
I used to hear it a lot at local mod / NS / Scooter events in Medway around 1983-5. It makes me cringe now.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST 'MODERN' NIGHTER SOUNDS?
Does Butch really play this? Must be based on rarity. I can't unsee the photo and think of Liquid Gold.

Poets-Wrapped Around... J2 and Sue Records , any more info?
Played out at Kent Soul Club on Friday night. It was first time I've heard it out loud and it sounded great.

Roy Ayers R.I.P.
RIP Mr Ayers. So many great songs. Prolific live performer in the UK. This is him at the Forum, Kentish Town in 2016 He's also been a big influence on Louie Vega and other House acts in more recent times -+

Very sad. RIP Jim. I heard him play many good sets in modern rooms over the years.

Champions League - New Format?
Some big teams could go out soon, which makes it interesting and I'm sure is not what UEFA intended. I still don't understand how they make the 8 fixtures fair for everyone.

What platform is this on?

Johnny Taylor (What About My Love)
Damaris also did a good version of it. The Shapeshifters sampled it to terrible effect about 20 years ago and got to no.1. Dave & Maurissa version has just come out

I enjoyed Black Doves a lot. Also, Archie, about Cary Grant was very good. I had no idea about his rough childhood. As was the BBC three part documentary about Elizabeth Taylor recently.

I'm 4 episodes in and really enjoying it much more than I thought I would. I'm fascinated by Colin Farrell's performance.
