Boogaloo

Sorry, but I have to come to the defence of this. A blistering soul tune it may not be but as a classic 70s shuffler it is fantastic. Used to be a Yate standard and I'd still jump on the dancefloor today if it was played. Warren Boogaloo

Wasn't she just fantastic. Can still blast out pure and clear as she did 40 years ago. Not much uptempo stuff but with a voice that good, who cares. Warren

Her soul magnificence will be performing at the Jazz Cafe, London tomorrow night. Anyone on here going to see her? Warren Boogaloo

I haven't laughed so much in ages - fantastic thread . Don't you have any work to do. And let us not forget the classic 'Who's going to........ thread' (insert some no hoper club your mates running that even his wife wouldn't be seen dead at) By the way 'who's going to Boogaloo this Sat night, I've heard it's a good'un. Warren

Can any kind soul who has a copy of Betty Wilson - I'm yours on Dayco send me a label scan and provide me with authentication markings of this. Thanks Warren

Gloucester 77-78. A hotbed of youthclub action for Northern. Went to my first night with my bro Norman at the tender age of 14, back room of some youth club in Longlevens,.Heard the sounds from the locals who bought along their boxes, was amazed at the acrobatic dancing, got my first proper (tongues) snog and the rest, as they say, is history. Can't remember the names of most of them apart from St Peter's, The Irish club, Quedely Village Hall and Wheelwrights. Do I sound old when I say that the youth of today don't know what they're missing with MSM and downloads? I think the answer to that is YES.

Hiya Folks Yes it's the famous Warren's Wants time again so before I get the usual flood of 'think of a price and treble it offers' I'm only buying the first decent record offer that comes up.

Mrs Boogaloo says that she wants one on that cute Git Down label. Don't ya just love her.

Would a Motown room be successful? The answer would be yes if you got enough people to support it. Would work brilliantly within a nighter as you could easily play 4-5 hours of unknown or semi-known Motown, Ric Tic, Soul, Anna label tunes etc. I just finished doing my monthly Motown nights after four and a half years and although we started it by playing classics, its amazing how many quality tunes you pick up that very few people have heard of and never get played (just have to pick up a copy of Jo Wallace's superb compilations to realise how little we know of the sound that got released). This is especially true of Motown's 70s output. At its peak our Motown night was more successful, numbers wise, than the Northern soul night, so that tell's ya something. I will definitely be putting on one offs in the future (probably 3-4 a year). In the meantime I'm really looking forward to Paddy's Northampton Weekender to have all me vinyl signed. Peace, love and soul Warren Boogaloo

Any one got a copy of this they wish to sell? Mrs Boogaloo quite likes it and would like to buy it for me for our wedding anniversary.

Bloody great idea.

Miroslavos Vitous - Bloody hell!! Real funky Yate favourite that one. Warren Boogaloo

Hi For albums, inc Motown and virtually every other major (and quite a few minor ones) is Album Discographies https://www.bsnpubs.com/discog.html For everything Motown try this one; The Ultimate guide to Motown. Excellent site. https://www.dftmc.info/ Regards Warren Boogaloo

Fantastic show. Well done on this. I collect quite a lot of latin soul/boogaloo but there are some real gems in this that I wasn't aware of. Superb stuff. Warren Boogaloo

I'd agree with this, mate. Happened to me last year but luckily got back every penny. My heart goes out to you. Bastards. Warren

Saw her tonight and still buzzing. What a performance. Brilliant.

Got to say she's my current favourite artiste at the mo. If you haven't bought the latest compilation 'greatest hits' cd then do yourself a favour and buy it now, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!!!!! Even my colleague at work who's into Marianne Faithfull and Melanie thought it was one of the best cds he's ever heard. Can't wait to see her at the Jazz Cafe. Who's goin'?

I take it that's a no then

Yeah, saw the reissue advertised, from Jazzman records. To answer your question on the reaction Craig - BRILLIANT

Hiya Been asked this question twice in the last few months but don't seem to be able to get an answer. Does anyone know the connection between Pow Wow by Manny Corchado and The Fly by The Mosquitos (Same record, different labels). Asked a couple of Latin sales contacts in the States but can't seem to get an answer. Is the Mosquitos a boot or legit and what's the reference for it. Personally I think it's legit coz the Manny Corchado was only a £25-£50 record a few years ago so who would boot that. Answers please Warren Boogaloo

Actually, Gene I bought a pink, cashmere jumper from Marks only last week. Pink, it's the new black. I could even supply the shorts and sneakers if pushed. Oh, yeah, while we're on the subject Barbara Redd - I'll be all alone (she should be after recording that) Warren

Agree, top tune. We actually reactivated this last year at Boogaloo. My list would have to contain these Bunny Sigler - Girl don't make me wait Posse - Evil Ad libs - Nothing worse than being alone Dave Love - Colalined baby Promises-This love is real And for those who remember Yate allnighters Miroslav Vitous - New York City and Silvetti - Spring Rain Warren Boogaloo
