Not heard that one Dan. But I do really like "Crazy Love" by them. Not high in soul content but good uplifting tune.

Thanks, will PM you tomorrow - have a 'mid tempo' that you will hopefully like. Col. Gav, I have no real idea about modern/southern/mid tempo. To be honest the older I get the less I know about everything its a wonder I get through the day sometimes. Gotta sign off now chaps - RSG tonite

How about somebody sticking up a file or two. I always associated southern soul with tranquilisers.

Yep! Definition of 'modern' needs its own thread

Although, there's a rarer version by Patti Austin which is a lot better

Agreed, but maybe not that well known for this poll.

Hi Roger Often here Martha Reeves played out at modern dos down south. Goes down very well too. Breaks it up a bit Got any positive nominations? Col.

Thanks.............

Not sure if we've done this before, but who cares? Lets have your nominations for "Best Across The Board Track" Got to be played & loved by the modern boys & equally by the rare soul contingent. Must be uptempo & soulful......no instumentals please Here's 5 to start. Artistics - I'm Gonna Miss You Voices Of East Harlem - Cashing In Martha Reeves - No One There Carol Anderson - Sad Girl Drizabone - Real Love

I was actually laughing when I wrote it........but also looking fwd to a good argument. Your reply has temporarily taken the wind out of my sails

Well I hope you get it sorted by Friday night (RSG).......as there's an awful people coming up to give you the once over. No pressure or anything

In your dreams. They took a fully loaded, healthy, functioning scene & led it up a blind alley.

OK I'll go for it. I suppose northern pretty much died in the 80s, so you'd have to say that Stafford was one of the larger nails in the coffin. Col.

Surely that was Terry Jacques

You need to widen your circle of friends

Thas a bit worrying, I'm sure my copy is blue!

I can tell you that the advice contained within this record is actually priceless Col.

£15/20.....but I've never seen one.

Bollocks! No I didn't. I dragged the tune out of i-tunes & renamed it. Thought that would suffice. Yes its "Brenton Wood-Two Time Looser"? I'm glad you liked it. That was what I hoped someone would say! It turned up with a load of other Brenton Wood tracks, that were all dreadful. Col

Guess The Cheapy? Its probably quite well known, but I've only just come across it. The winner will get a certain amount of kudos & respect from his peers Col.

Hi Alan, No I don't have it on vinyl, just come across it on cd. Whats it like?

Sunday night tune, mellow, modern & midtempo. Oh oh! its coming out at over 5mb, so I've had to delete it, Annbody know how to reduce size of mp3 file on a mac? Cheers Col.

An unusual take on a classic.......how do you thinks it compares? Col.

No idea at all Andy.... But I've just listened to track & had a good dance round living room! Cheers for that. Col
