Wiganer1

======= no he probably thought wow what a great version of my already great song,good on yer girl!! also did her version not get to No.01 in the US,why because miilions liked it better than otis's aretha is a LEGEND full stop..i dont see how you can say anything to the contrary...

=== even otis redding said Aretha had bettered his version of respect Respect is a 60s SOUL classic..

=-===== ive only been once to the 100 club had a good time . made to feel very welcome by ady cant believe i havent been more times over the years....brill achievement for ady anyway!

======= tony if i said the world was round - youd say it was square!!! so we'll have to agree to disagree on another issue

==== joking and personalities aside how can you diss Aretha in such a way from 60-67 its true her recordings did nothing ,then with the right team behind her she gave the world some AWESOME tunes think,,respect,never loved a man,you make me feel ,chain of fools and LOADS more in the 60s dont play that song,spanish harlem,until you come back to me, in the 70s her gospel rendition of Amazing Grace is an iconic recording as many of her tracks are.... her chart success and recording history is close to unrivalled by very few black female artists as you can get saying shes the queen of soul is a shallow statement is as shallow as you can get imo oh well all good fun i suppose - yours mark

===== likewise with you Mr Rounce

===== i totally agree with Beeks...Aretha is the undisputed Queen of Soul and always will be ! love linda too obviously cut off in her prime which is a great shame

Any other serious contenders? Would be interesting to know at this stage of the scenes history, which all-nighter could be considered the overall most significant nighter? [/quot It's a garbage question, how can you compare Wigan against the Torch, 100 Club or even Kings Hall Stoke today, it's like comparing an E Type Jaguar to a 2008 BMW or a Spitfire to an F-16 or Bruce Forsyth to Dale Winter, garbage question.

=== i like her but this is imo is very average tune....

== hi paul ..cheers

==== hi steve.. only just seen mate + wanna see if the torch was really like and what a cause too - nogger great bloke regards

========= morethan happy to donate to this well worthy cause.....put me down for one paul...

.

=== bang on both posts!!

=== absolutley agree.

== need to get to this ...big part of my life in the 80s was the palais!!! gr8 all niters there remember 1 niter when steve whittle played the american youth choir and the place was HEAVING!!!!

== dont alot of todays djs owe alot to Russ?? where would Richard,Kev,Pat Brady Brian Rae all have been if they hadnt been given a chance by Russ to spin at Wigan?? very hypothetical i know but surely in their heart of hearts the owe Russ and the casino alot!!

== beeks - ure wasting your breath mate ...russ will never have any fans on here bud.. 8 years of wigan and did bugger all , played bugger all ,,broke bugger all ,,no one danced to his records,,no one clapped to his spots..etc up there with the antichrists of all antichrists!! regards mark supporter of the underdog!

== why is it russ's fault!! did russ ask Paul ogrady to do it - i dont think so who else were they going to ask to be linked with it? i took the programme for what it was a bit of nostalgia about the old days...also a bit of fun!

== good to see you on here Andy - great info there mate
