Grittiest Motown Girl Group Song
For me it’s The Marvelettes - I’ll keep Holding On I do love The Supremes - Stormy - but wouldn’t say that’s gritty, more beautiful & heartbreaking

Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution
I thought all 3 episodes were fantastic. An amazing insight into Disco that had me hooked during all 3 episodes. Best music documentary I’ve seen in a very very long time. Disco doesn’t suck 😁

Dave Hulmes RIP
It’s a total tragedy that Dave has passed away. We knew it was coming, but the speed it took him is heartbreaking & cruel. His “Final Frontier” event tonight will be tough without him but because of the decent & wonderful guy he was he still wanted it to go ahead putting others before himself So Mr 21st Century Soul/Albert Wiggins tonight we will put on our big girl/big boy pants and do you proud. Rest Easy Dave You will be missed, but never forgotten Ali xxx

I saw the trailer for it while watching “Maverick” 😍 & did think it looked tosh but I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about it 👍🏼

Movies and Tv
What?!!! I think it’s fantastic & so does everyone I have spoke to about it, men included, but mainly women 🤣 I also think it MUST be seen on the big screen due to the fighter jet scenes. It’s not often a second movie is better than the first, but other than it not having Kelly McGillis in Maverick (that’s another discussion 😡) , I would say it’s better than Top Gun. God I loved it 😍

Jimmy Fraser 'Of Hopes and Dreams ...
That’s where I first heard it 👍🏼 I too can’t remember who spun it (maybe Robbo?) but I remember being in awe of Big Scotty & Soulie dancing to it & the insane whistling Big Scotty would do while dancing. Fabulous song 👌🏼 & still gets my heart rate going 😁

Just "one" song

Just "one" song
Mine is Holland-Dozier-Holland Why Can’t We Be Lovers … & it almost makes me cry every time I hear it (apart from at the end when he starts talking cheesily 😂) The main reason (as well as being an insane song) Is that it reminds me of the early Southport Weekenders, where I spent some of the best days of life with the best of friends, some whom are no longer here 😞 . It has always moved me & had me singing along but more so now in memory of those good times, late friends & one of the Promoters who sadly passed away only a few years back. I feel I have to sing it in their honour now. I actually heard it on Saturday morning while chatting away to my Dad. (I think he had Radio 2 on) I had to stop him mid conversation while I blurted out the song & swayed to it. He just looked at me gone mad lolol Oooh I just adore it …… the lyrics, the music, the vibe, the memories 🥰 It’s just pure class in my ears & eyes 😍. Ali x P.S Sorry I’ve gone on a bit, but you did ask 😊
