  1. Thanks to everyone who replied. It is Milton Wright, just listened to it on YouTube. It may have been 50p years ago but I bet it's out of my reach nowadays, I'll check the Manship guide later.
  2. On Saturday night at the Box, Crewe a record was played by Butch just before the end of his first set. Titled Like A Rolling Stone, who is the singer? It's not the Bob Dylan song. Butch said that 30 years ago you could buy it for 50p. I'm sure I've read something on here about this record but I can't remember when.
  3. Lovely record. I've had it for a few years now but never heard it played out anywhere, would be a great ender.
  4. A nice version but for me doesn't have the magic of the Shirelles version which has a sort of innocence about it.
  5. There are good versions of this song by Dionne Warwick and Maxine Brown.
  6. Here's one by the lady formerly known as Linda Griner, lovely track that joined my collection recently.
  7. Here's one that I like a lot. Don't play any of these if you've gone through a break up.
  8. I'm amazed no one was interested Pete. It always reminds me of the Dome, finally got a copy last year from Paul McKay.
  9. Very nice set Eddie. I've never been to the King's Hall, is the main room all classic oldies? But the smaller room does sound good, is it on all night or does it finish early?
  10. This one was mentioned in the thread about the late Lesley Gore, fits right into this thread imo.
  11. Hadn't heard that one before Gareth, fabulous. One for the female beat ballad thread I think. On this side of the Atlantic I think she was rather underrated.
  12. Sorry I'm losing the plot, I meant Jimmy Radcliffe not Lenny Welch. Apologies for any confusion caused.
  13. Slightly off topic but I've got a version of Run To My Loving Arms on my PC by Lenny Welch, can't remember where I got it from, certainly not on the CDs I've got of his material. Perhaps he did the demo.
  14. This is very slightly reminiscent of the Shirelles' Foolish Little Girl. I love all these ones being posted, this style is right up my street musically, so soulful.
  15. I'd forgotten Look Of Love when I started this thread. Absolutely brilliant pop record. Guess we've all been in that situation sometime in our life.
  16. I've just read that Lesley Gore has died. She did this one, a great version of the song recorded by the Chiffons.
  17. I've just read online that Lesley Gore has died. Probably best known for her debut hit, It's My Party, she went on to have several US hits and two chart hits in the UK (It's My Party and Maybe I Know). I believe one of her records was played on the Northern Soul scene, I Won't Love You Anymore (Sorry) although I've never heard it played out myself. She also recorded a good version of the beat ballad What Am I Gonna Do With You, originally by the Chiffons. Quite a lot more to her life including writing songs for the film Fame. She was one of the pop singers I liked back in the 60s. RIP Lesley.
  18. What a lovely record, and with Your Love Is Everything on the other side I think it's one of the best records ever issued, makes me feel really emotional.
  19. This is lovely, is it album only?
  20. I bought this when it was released in the UK, 66 I think. Used to like both sides when played in 1965 at the Scene allnighters. I'd have to find my copy to see if Ann Mason is credited on the label but for some reason I've known it was her for years. Will try and dig it out.
  21. Maria O who runs my favourite soul night Boomerang, a lady with great taste and a collection to match. And Carol Vare, don't hear her DJ much except on our soul holidays but she's got very good taste too.
  22. Enjoyed this thread very much. Good to see and hear some tunes that were new to me. Only thing is that some seemed a little bit too fast to be beat ballads, more medium tempo but I'm not complaining. More please.
  23. I'm a bit of a sentimental old fool so there are loads that do bring tears to my eyes for various reasons. But at the moment due to personal circumstances the following get me going. Freddie Scott - Where Does Love Go Gene Chandler - I'll Remember You

    Just read this, sorry to hear about his death. One of soul music's greats. He started recording in the 50s, wrote Pony Time, later a hit for Chubby Checker, Letter Full Of Tears for Gladys Knight among other songs, but found his own unique style in the mid 60s on Atlantic. Used to hear plenty of his records in clubs at that time, See Saw was my favourite by him then. His LP in the early 70s, Super Dude is worth checking out. Somebody's Been Enjoying My Home is a fantastic track imo RIP Don..
