Great oldie on Okeh..soulful as you can get ,,used to get played alot in the old days but seldom heard these days.. played this last week at the Coop in nuneaton as my last record and sounded great so i thought it deserved a mention cheap as chips even on original Okeh but oh so good only in my opinion of course regards fluff

============= mine were:- 1) Last saturday at the coop ,,played 90 mins of mixed 60'/70's oldies with lots of forgotten stuff (see my forgetten olies threads) 2) my spot at the manchester CIS did the 11-12 spot was worried id be playing to an empty floor but it filled up slowly and got the floor packed for mark bicknell to take over 3) marrs bar niter and was the nite when kev roberts was on,,usually did last hour but had to swap to the opening one,,and again mixed my spot in again and handed over a packed for kev roberts regards fluff
