I like Joi Caldwell. Agree about Mr. Day. It's a nothing tune.

Records I've never liked are: Frankie & The Classicals (or Laura Greene or any other version) Candy & The Kisses - Out On The Streets DJ Genesis - Tribute To Betty (see Cunnie's Bob Sinclair's post!) Wynder K. Frogg ( I heard Shakin' Stevens version first) Joey Deleronzo I love The Parliaments though as per Paul T-P and Chalky. Also Big Joe Turner and Tony Middleton (TTEOTE) One record I used to hate but now really love is Roy Hamilton's "The Panic Is On"

How about a 7" of "Tears" Ian? Is that supposed to be hard?

(SOS) Stop Her On Sight - Edwin Starr

Agreed but the original article mentions two of these and many other non NS DJ's.

Aretha Franklin but sadly I don't think that's going to happen. And Otis Redding.

I wondered that too Bob

Yes, it's very good.

It's the same with the small minority of OVO brigade who very voicelessly try to shout everyone else down who doesn't agree with them in 2012. Btw, I like quite a lot of tunes in this thread and personally think it's a good step forward.

Eddie Kendricks has got be one of the best, hasn't he? David Peaston too - but not very prolific.

Ok. Some CD comps are better than DJ sets

What's playing CD's got to do with being competent on the mic? The two are completely unrelated.

Good song. I bought the LP on Ebay for 50p

It depends how pissed they are

It depends what you call the modern scene. There are so many different factions from the 70s/crossover type of dos to recent releases and even soulful house dos. Either way it's not very big. Having said that, there are plenty of other dos around the country that play similar music but the punters and dj's are totally different and maybe are not even aware of a modern scene. You've only got to go and see a live act like Anthony Hamilton to realise this.

A classic: Something more recent: [media=]

Why on earth would anyone like this shit?

Is it really Mark? Even I've got that. How much do you reckon?

RIP Donna. She made some fantastic music.

RIP Donald. He played a part in so much fantastic music.

I find it a bit rich that anyone who's into music from more than 40 years ago can criticise people for wearing old fashioned clothes

Well just by picking those 3 in a row, it goes to show there may be hope for you yet Pete . All fantastic records!

I paid £4 for that as a new release. It's not that great, is it? I don't remember any outstanding tracks from it.

Yeah, I'd like to hear it. It will just wither away on a cassette so converting it to an mp3 will give it a better chance of being saved for posterity.
