A rare Motown outing for O.C Smith with "I betcha". Mine is a WDJ, as are most copies I've seen. Are there many issues about ? Not rare, but oh so good! Dave

Agree 100% Andy, always been my favourite version. ( I think I posted this some time ago too !) Dave

Gone now - Fran Jefferies. Class tune! [media=]

Nice one Andy. not heard this in years & forgotten what a nice tune it was.

Reasons to survive - Rance Allen Group. Paid about £20 a few years back. Not best condition copy either, so not sure what it's really worth. Great tune anyway! Dave

Several versions of this tune, but this is my favourite. Jackie Wilson - Big man cry from the album Whispers Dave https://youtu.be/LSb63HqnblQ

Not may female artists in this thread so far, so here's Gayle Harris - Ain't gonna let it yet me down. Definite Teddy Randazo sound here. Dave https://youtu.be/BE_MU9_kRB8

Always been a favourite of mine, and still gets good floor reaction. Grover Mitchell - What hurts. Prices seem all over the place, so not sure exactly what it's worth. Dave

Always thought this was an album only track, but picked it up on a 45 at the weekend for £3. Great little tune. Little Anthony & Imperials - I don't have time to worry Dave

You're quite right. It is indeed "Jack in a box" on the flip ! I think the confusion is because "part 2" is really "part 1" !! Cheers Dave

Mine too, I'm sure. Will check later

Continuing with the Motown theme this week ... "Do what you gotta do" - one of the best double siders ever ! Dave

Sorry Mick, can't help you there. I don't know of any compilations, but it originally came out on the "Fabulous Miracles" LP Cheers Dave

Cheers Andy, It's the flip to Mickey's Monkey on Tamla (54083) from '63 would you believe! Won't break the bank either Dave

Not much Motown lately, so here's mibe for today. The Miracles - Whatever makes you happy" Enjoy! Dave

From the LP "Be thankful" - William DeVaughn and "You can do it". Quality all the way! Dave

Great double-sider from Jackie Wilson, with the "B" side - "Those Heartaches" just edging it for me. Dave
