Will have a think about it. Wayne has always been a bit of a mind bender.

Aha, thanks for that. How did you get on with that CD I gave you at Lightwater?

Reminds me of something First Choice - Smarty Pants? From that Linda Carr - High Wire era Prob got it all wrong Whats the Donnie Elbert track like, never heard a decent DE track

Yes, I'll give ground there...........but I'll be back If Eddie Kendricks sang it, then it would be worse.

6 downloads in 6 minutes. Its amazing I never get offered more DJ slots.

Played Garnet Mimms - Looking For You at my mates funeral. Take some time out & actually listen to the lyrics/vocal delivery again. Its a deep record.

Blimey thats scarey..........you're on the money mate. Just about to post on worst vocal thread.

hopped?

I don't get called Smartarse for nothing.

I stand corrected & chastised.

Are you sure he didn't make all of his money from circuses?

Do you think that might have been the inspiration behind Higher & Higher! I wonder if the contract included medical insurance?

You're not getting confused with Ted Rogers & Dusty Bin, which was on TV just before you set out for Wigan?

Is that upper class speak? What What.

Brilliant post

Billy Kent - Take It All This Time Darrel Banks - I Could Never Hate Her

Can't really comment much on Jackie Wilson when he was alive, but I do recall the guy who used to run Colin Bee pressings bought the rights to his back catalogue for the literal equivalent of bugger all after his J.Ws death. They then released "Reet Petite" which went to No1 in UK charts & made a small fortune for themselves. Unlike Jackie Wilson's descendants. Col.

Hated it when I first heard it. Took a while to get my head around it. Love it now.

At least I was staying on subject. But if you wan't to discuss the Temps thats fine. They worked well cos of a range of factors including the mix and range of voices/harmonies. I'm not sure that a voice like Eddies (falsetto?) can ever be considered soulful when sung solo. Happy to be proved wrong. Col.

I seem to recall Mike saying our very own Gareth X spins it.

Brilliant as a piece of social history. But never really rated him as a soul singer File under Jackson 5 Col.

Towana - Wear Your Natural Baby You might think the record is promoting the absence of clothes I think it was Steve G that said that advised the record is about wearing your afro with pride. Col.

Ann Peebles - I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down. Due to a breach of planning laws said playhouse was actually removed by the council's contractors. An appeal has been launched. Guitar Ray - You're gonna wreck my like. Rays predictions were correct, she did. Walter Jackson - Where Have All The Flowers Gone? Nobodys too sure, but global warming is suspected. Willie Tee - Walking Up A 1 Way Street. Willie was knocked over by a cyclist & is recouperating. He has vowed to be more careful in the future. Col.

I'd also like one! Col
