RIP Marvin. So much range of great music and a depth of quality. I Touched a Dream when I listened to your voice.

Actually it was 10 years ago and I wrote about it here: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-articles/this-is-the-modern-world-2003-r413 Some other good stuff around at that time too.

“Can’t Get You Off My Mind” on Dome from about 8 years back is great too.

I think they're standard Broadway prices Dave.

Yes Kev. Cheers! I see Ryan Shaw is in the cast too!

I’m off to NY in June and fancy seeing this. The Ticketmaster link is working anymore. Any ideas of how I can find out more? I’d love to see Marva Hicks.

I actually quite like it. The instrumental version anyway

Seeing as we're also including stuff that came out more than a few years ago. How about this fantastic record by Richard Stepp.

Looks great Ian. I didn't really like the first two volumes but this is much more up my street.

He's left behind a wonderful legacy. RIP George

Big article on them in today’s Daily Mirror. Only very young lads it seems. I must check them out.

I’m not bothered about it at all. Playing a record indoors is a bit of a pain these days. It’s much more convenient to buy a CD/download and transfer it to my ipod. I can listen to it anywhere then. I only buy records these days if they’re not available on any other format or if I come across a second hand record shop and can’t help myself. I’ve bought some records over the past year and haven’t played them yet.

I can see you what mean that some people might regard her as being a bit over the top but, in my book, she's fantastic. One of the all time greats!

I agree Benji. I've never liked it much myself. I much prefer "We Can Make It Happen"

It would be nice to think so, but unlikely imo. He hadn’t attained it at that point so I don’t think he would later, unless he put out some belter early 70s LPs, which could have been possible if he teamed up with the right crew.

I missed Jools Holland last night. I thought his last CD was great so look forward to this one too

It got quite a bad review in the Evening Standard last week. I get the impression that any link or reference to northern soul is flakey.

Tent Music was a term created after the crossover sessions at the Cala Gran, Fleetwood weekenders in about 2001 is the massive marquee attached to the side of the building. What were the Ohio Players live like at the weekender in 1993?

No, it was CD only.

I suppose a few obvious examples are: Leroy Hutson — Because of You Bobby Womack — Woman’s Gotta Have It Beverly & Duane — I Wanna Be With You Stephanie Mills — Keep Away Girls

Jr Walker & The All Stars "Tune Up" has to be one of my faves

I love two step. It’s mainly late 70s to early 80s stuff. I won’t provide a list of records because someone will say that a certain track doesn’t qualify. The deeper into these sub-genres you go, the more anoraky and aggressive people become. You should see the debate on EMS about two step recently. I’m no expert on it but know what I like!

Who was Alfie Davison? Did he do anything else?
