Dave Godin
Soul News Announcement Dave Godin died peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Friday October 15th. He had been ill for some time and was fully accepting of his fate, though true to himself he put up a brave fight. Dave was a pioneer of Blackamerican music and soul music in particular throughout his life. The highlights of his endless championing of the cause were his working with Berry Gordy in establishing Tamla Motown as an entity in this country; his passion for, and the coining of, the genres Northern Soul and Deep Soul and his series of four CDs of "Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures" which he claimed were the proudest achievements of his life. He was the world's foremost soul music journalist for many years and wrote intelligently and illuminatingly on the subject, particularly in his Blues and Soul magazine column in the 60s and 70s. His grasp and understanding of Blackamerican social and political life gave him an insightful perspective on the music that made his writing so vital. He was also a renowned expert on films and a passionate Animal Rights activist as well as being a committed anarchist, vegan, pro-life, Esperanto speaker and supporter of the Jain religion. Details of his funeral will be posted as soon as we have them. It is hoped that there will be a celebratory soul dance on the evening of the funeral.

If it's who I would think it is, he's probably a good indicator as to the moral values of the venue; ie if he's on they ain't got none. He's never DJed at a 6TS dance and never will.- Nev Wherry(record collection)

I've got the details and will pass them on. Funnily enough she took the photo of my avatar and there's a brilliant one of her at Wigan dancing with a crowd of admiring onlookers and really looking the business.- Records that make you happy

I actually meant happy as in smiling with great joy and buzzing all over with positive vibes. I know its personal but I can't see how say Dena Barnes or HB Barnum could elicit that type of emotion but it must be different strokes for different folks.- bobby valetin wanted

I'm talkin' 'bout ones that make you laugh, smile, grin with joy whenever they come on no matter how pissed off you are. The Olympics 'The Same Old Thing' Mirwood The Pageants 'Make It Last' Groove Gloria Jones 'Run One Flight Of Stairs' Sensations 'Demanding Man' Jerry-O 'Karate Boogaloo' Actually there are even more pop ones; Slaughter & The Dogs 'You're A Bore', Young Rascals 'A Girl Like You', Housemartins, 'Sheep', Beach Boys 'Wouldn't It Be Nice', They Might Be Giants 'You're Not The Boss Of Me', Smiths 'Panic'. Come on everyone "Hang the Dj, Hang the Dj, Hang the Dj".- 'Big money' sounds of yesteryear
Minsh paid £50 for the second copy of The Fuller Brothers at the Torch when i was there, so that must have been about top whack then. Ian "Frank" Dewhirst paid the ubiquitous £180 for "Cigarette Ashes" a week or so before it came out on Jay Boy in 1972 so the top price rose quickly then. I think £180 was loads more (£100ish)than the previous highest . Mick'll remember a load of others.- Pat Powdrill
Could anyone lend me 'Do It' or do a high res scan of the flip. Mail me privately if you can do. Ady- Playing re-releases / re- issues at gigs?

The Blendelles is actually 1972, Cloudnine was getting it mixed up with La La La La La. Ady- New TV Drama about Northern Soul
There was a stinker of a play about Wigan in the 80s where the main geezer came on all sexy in the Casino and half-raped the heroine. He must have got his Viagara prototype mixed up with his blueys. It was incredibly bad in every respect, and went out on one of the terrestrial channels as satellite wasn't around, so it would have had a lot of viewers. I think it was probably over PC even for that time, in that it's theme was all men are bastards. Ady- Dottie and Millie - Value?
