Great stuff Andy, I've drawn a blank. Lots of theories and conjecture but very little solid provenance. Look forward to hearing who she actually is. Regards, Dave

Has anyone made any progress in finding out who she was? Regards, Dave https://youtu.be/gaKQLKsLEtg

Ray Lewis for me: Simply because it has the fantastic "Sitting At Home With My Baby" on the flip. Regards, Dave

John, Have PM'd you a message about Miam/Tampa. As far as I know: Phil La of Soul was operated by Harold Lipsius in conjunction with Jesse James. The label was originally started to release product from Henry Stone's Miami set up. I think it started going wrong when the Miami artists weren't getting paid so the relationship slowly deteriorated - hence Phil La of Soul then having to source it's own 'local' product. Like many of the Jamie/Guyden labels Phil La of Soul wasn't really a 'developer' of artists careers, it sort of mirrored the smash and grab tactics that by that time, (66/67), Cameo Parkway had adopted in it's post Beatlemania death throes. By the time of it's final few 45s most of Philadelphia's musical entities were looking in another direction, (Sigma/Gamble and Huff) for their survival. If anyone has any definitive info on the set up of Phil La of Soul I'd be most appreciative. Regards, Dave

Andy Peebles - Radio Piccadilly early also mid 70s. Regards, Dave

So did "My Hearts Symphony" by Gary Lewis and The Playboys......don't make it a gud 'un tho does it Chalky lad. :lol: Anorak?? How very DARE you?! Regards, Dave

I know it's been done before but any chance I get to ridicule the out of tune dirge that is George Lemons - Fascinating Girl - Gold Soul, I'm afraid I'm gonna grab it with both hands! Jeeze, where to start? Musically, iIt has the appealing atmosphere of a poorly tuned Salvation Army band. And a Salvation Army band that has been forced to play in driving rainy weather conditions on a s remote a spot as say...Ilkley Moor. And bart' their hats! George has obviously been listening to his Mum when she told him he could sing as no one in their right mind thinks he can hold a tune surely? And to think that this was recorded at Terra Shirma? Perish the thought! Sorry to have contributed to the plummeting of the conversation but any action, no matter how infinitesimal in the grand scheme of things, that may even remotely prevent any DJ with painted on 'lugoyles' pulling this from his Saturday night 'hotbox', simply has to be utilised. Regards, Dave

Thing is Nige there's a world of difference between 'Going For" and "SOLD FOR". Regards, Dave

Double Post-Apologies. Regards, Dave

Bob Babbitt, - Guitarist. That single solitary word can't even attempt to do justice to the influence that Pittsburg native, Mr Robert Kreinar wielded with his weapons of choice: the Fender Precision Bass and it's jazz variant. When his Fender was stolen he changed horses midstream and went with a CBS Precision. Well, the tools may have been different but the end results were surely the same. Instantly recognize-able as the bottom end sound of so many of America's iconic records of the glory era, he stepped into the shoes of probably THE most revered black musician in America at the time: James Jamerson and was fully expected to fall short of the tormented Motown genius. It's surely the greatest testament of all that many listeners didn't realize the difference. 'Babbitt' was in demand in all the musical centres of the nation and played in most of the legendary "Temples of Sound" from coast to coast. From the crooner like Frank Sinatra to the raucus sound of Norman Whitfield, Babbitt played it all. When Donald Storball wrote "Now gimme a little bass with those... 88s" it was an invitation that Babbitt was only too happy to accept and the bass line for "Cool Jerk" surely ranks up there with Jamerson's "Uptight" as one of the most instantly recognize-able use of the instrument of all time. Just to remind ourselves of exactly how good this bassline is I've added a clip of his performance below. There are many semi known and some would say unsung heroes in music and along with Clarence Clemons, Minnie Ripperton, Van McCoy, The Funk Brothers etc it's satisfying to know that they realized their lifes' works were indeed appreciated before they passed and there's no doubt that Bob Babbitt sits high on that list. His character wouldn't allow him to sit and bask in his glory though and I've added a clip of an interview he did which shows an insight into the man and his view on life. So...as is usual at our house at these times, we'll crack a few cans, drag out a few dusty boxes of vinyl records, pick out a few 45s and celebrate the fantastic musical legacy of one of the greatest musicians ever to lay down a track onto vinyl. And with a legacy that includes over 25 Gold and Platinum records, it's gonna be a long night! The illness finally claimed him and the pain is over, so having shaken off your mortal coil Mr Bob Babbitt, please step forward and take a well earned bow Sir, for a job...extremely well done. Regards, Dave

Great song sung by two great singers. Totally different interpretations but equally fantastic. ALMOST as good as Elvis' classic version. Regards, Dave

Good call Mike. It's a shame because a couple of us have tried to convince him but currently to no avail. Regards, dave
