6TS is proud to announce that the live acts for Cleethorpes this year will be singer/songwriter Sharon McMahan and Jock Mitchell. Both appearing in the UK for the first time. Sharon will perform her own Northern and Modern Soul hits as well as giving us her version of songs she wrote for the likes of Barbara Lewis, Deon Jackson and Johnnie Mae Matthews at the height of Detroits mid 6os soul boom. Jock is famous for his Northern blockbuster 'Not A Chance In A Million' and other classic Detroit tracks, but has many more songs in his repertoire several of which he features in his sensational soul show from his Florida base. Both acts are thrilled to be coming to the UK to entertain and meet their European fans and another momentous weekender is assured for us all. Ady http://www.6ts.info for further 6TS news. -
Anyone got a copy with No Woman's Gonna Hurt Richard?
-
With Garden Of Eden on the flip. Who did that? My sleeve says 200 custom pressed and it was the last copy LOL. And did it only come out as a double sided demo originally? That's how I picked it up in an L A shop
-
Thanks, I'll PM you.
-
Anyone got a copy of their Funky With My Stuff/Don't Bite The Hand? Ta Ady
-
You two weren't drinking it so you very kindly gave me yours and every time the air hostess came round I got three mini bottles of red wine. I remember that better than the records I found. I must have been frightening company.
-
Was that the trip where in a million to one chance I ended up sitting next to you and polishing off all your and your lass of the time's wine? Ady

Harborough was running the year the Wheel closed so just after that. 71/72
-
That's right. I bought them off Jeff on Leicester market, kept one and sold two at the Harborough nighter. My first Northern deal was with a bootleg; though nobody knew what they were at the time

He was personable and knowledgeable. The only problems people had with him was that he was a lying crook. Not the first or last on this scene of ours.

Not particularly Mike, we loved the music and were happy to get new recruits. Dave Godin would have been very happy that a lot of these tracks are reaching a bigger audience. There are thousands more for the already initiated to move on to.

"Those pesky kids!"
-
Well we've been telling people how good they were for years and now they can hear some in their cars or wherever and all join in. Mixed feelings, especially with the low price giving it away almost but there are some great tracks and not all bleeding obvious. I'd love to know who programmed Gloria Lynne in between Gene Chandler There Was A Time and Better Use Your Head-or anywhere on this CD for that matter. Listen there are literally thousands of great soul records to match these that haven't been over exposed so I don't think we need worry too much. Give it 5 years and they'll be old oldies, due for a revival!

You Baby was Ronettes originally, Lovin' Spoonful too

Where Are You Now is a classic of any description. R I P
-
Thanks Chalky unfortunately James is dead but Louise is getting info for me
-
Thanks chaps, he was certainly the right age but what did he do after writing the hit in 1966, he doesn't appear to do anything before 1978 on these bits of info. Also if he wrote Sweetest One why didn't Pied Piper use him some more?
-
Wossit like then Den?
-
He's a contender there was also a John Anderson who wrote early Joe Simon stuff out of the Bay Area and one wrote with H B Barnum in LA. Thanks
-
He wrote it and also 'Unlucky Sun' on their LP but I don't know anything else about him. His BMI list brings up other songs that I recognise but I'm not sure if they are the same person. Anyone know about him?
-
I'd defo played that out before the LP, I've got the acetate somewhere.
-
Odd, I'd have thought if I comped it before Guy played it I'd have already played it
-
Yep I did Kurt and Willie & The Handjives. I can't remember about In My Tenement by Rosie Greer, Guy would recall that one.
-
Terrific programme, Stevie. Thanks for posting.

Terrific article, George is a real soul hero.
