That's the chap, played lead guitar on JLH's Boom Boom an original Funk Brother and big mate's with Marvin.

There's a full CD of his 60s/70s jazz and funk instrumentals on our BGP label. Blue Funk got used in a Kentucky Fried Bird ad, handy dosh for Dave's lovely widow Alice.

Yes it did and of course Buddy from Chico and Buddy was Buddy Smith. Chico's real name was Thelmer Jones nowt to do with Ms Thelma. Check out the OC Tolberts too. I think his original version of I'm Shooting High is fantabulous.

I don't write those notes for fun you know! Two of the Tokays who had a great Northern record on Tokay-Baby Baby baby, were Chico and Buddy whose 'You Don't Miss Your Water' on Vol 1 is an unissued vocal to Sue Ann Jones I'll Give You My Love'. Most of their other stuff was quite funky. Expect a related question for the Cleethorpes Soul Mastermind quiz, it might be the first one your team gets right! Ady X

Just do it!

Curiouser and curioser!

Wow I can't picture that combination it's a very girly song. Cheers Ady

Back between Harboro and the Smoke now but usually to be found at the Colchester soul nights as per the Events forum. Cheers

I Know it's that Tony Smith II going on line after a late night bender!

Wotcher Gavin, Unless you're in Lille, you will be, I'm in Paris! Thanks for the offer but 45cellar is sorting me. Where are you now then?

Thanks, no rush, it's an ongoing thing. Frank's still singing in NYC! I'll PM you. Ady

I'd always pictured them as East coast?

Who's Hazel Martin and were you drunk too? It's not Freddie Ken, he was East Coast.

When you sober up let me know what male version there is of a 100 Club anniversary record by a female singer. Could anyone tape me the LP, I'm working with Frank and Dave Blake and would like to hear what's on there.

Thanks it is a bit of an odd start, i thought our tape was wrong. Cheers everybody, deadline's gone now. Ady

Does it have a weird intro, only half a bar of music before the vocals start?

Now that's what i call service. Thanks kids. Ady

Great, thanks.

Woah, that's a good one, can anyone verify?

Anyone have a scan and / or know if he's anything to do with Bobby Paris? Ady

What do you want to speed it up for?

Wally Cox also cut a great later version of This Man for Modern via Leo Kulka's Golden State Producers out of SF, there are several unissued cuts including I think the BGP 45 Malc put up. The black guy backing Paul Anka in Vegas was probably him, he's a West Coast charachter (mainly SF) but I don't think he's been seen around for a while.

Hey it's not bad; I like it. Though the fact that that's the first time I've heard it does put it's popularity into context.

And I hear you're cheap.

But Superlove really was for monumental divs.
