  2. How lovely !!!!! I just want to share my love but I'm not sharing my mini eggs Makes me want to hop in my car, & head to Soul Underground tonight, but I'm a scaredy cat, and won't risk it I'll just keep pressing replay & keep warm x
  3. I was going to mention Kell & the great Quicksand in another thread, a couple of days ago, I didn't, as I went off on a tangent, like I sometimes do, so it's extremely sad that I'm now mentioning it in a thread of his passing. RIP Mr Osborne x

    How can I do the things I wanna do, when 90% of me is you My heart no longer does what I want it to, because 90% of me is you Gonna be the kind of woman that no man can move, I want to have the kind of mind that no man can fool I want to look you in the eyes, without getting weak at the knees I want to be able to do without you, in spite of my needs How can I do the things I want do, when 90% of me is you My heart no longer does what I want it to, because 90% of me is you You control my eyes, I can see no-one but you, baby You control my mind, I can think of no-one but you You control my lips, I just long for your tender kiss I never thought it possible that I could be controlled like this What can I do What can I do How can I do the things I want to do, when 90% of me babe is you and my heart no longer does what I want it to, you know why, because 90% of me is you Gwen McCrae - 90% of me is you The whole song, hits me, but the red parts a little more, and the underlined babe & you know why, and the way she delivers it, crying out in need, almost bursts my heart

    That's no way to treat a girl

    AWESOME !! It's one of those songs where the music is secondary, as the whole lyrics are so powerful!
  7. I agree, but as an innocent 18 year old, who'd hardly been out of the county never mind the country that's all I could relate it to. It's only with time, and hearing the wide variety on offer that you then associate it to Detroit, Chicago, Philly etc Credit DOES have to go the deejay, especially the ones who broke a record, as most would put the effort & hard work in to find these tunes so without these guys & gals (or the people behind the scenes finding them records in some cases) we'd all be listening to ski-ing in the snow lolol You obviously can't take anything away from the artist, but like a deejay can't survive without a tune to play, an artist can't survive without the deejay. I think I've digressed, it's late, & I'll probably regret posting this in the morning All the above is just my view, I'm no expert, so I'm going to leave the posting to others, & will try not read this thread again, or at least keep my thoughts to myself. Regards Ali x

    I bet you tried though

    Ok, because I like your wife, and don't want to bring shame on the family I'll keep them well hidden
  10. Yeah I hear what you're saying Win, I guess I also do that, I associate Karl Frierson's "10 minutes" with Bob Hinsley, and Hayes Cotton Black Wings have my Angel with Mark Wilson, as they were the ones who I first heard play them (at various venues), yet some-one else in another part of the country maybe heard another deejay spin those tunes, so they would mean something different to them, be it about the venue, or the deejay

    I remember all the above I'll keep quiet about your 18th, and won't publish any photo's on here I do remember it being called Jollies as well, a modern soul all-nighter, in August 1999, with Dave Thorley, Gavin Page & I think Gary Welsh at the decks. It was a fantastic night, just didn't get the numbers Also went to Shelley's but that's another thread

  14. Cheers Joan, it's nice to know that I wasn't the only one trying to grasp what "some" were calling a "Burnley" sound when to me it was no different to what I could hear or have heard elsewhere For me I do associate records to places, but not in relation to it (possibly) being a "such & such sound" because I do not know enough about who broke what & where. My first nighter was 1987 at the Bradford Queens Hall, and certain records remind me of that place, so I'd often say to pals "ooh this reminds me of Bradford" but I'd never be so bold as to say this is a "Bradford" sound as I know there were venues before BQH who did break records. If someone can tell me of a tune that did get discovered at "Bradford" and that I could label a "Bradford" Sound I'd be over the moon Bradford was MY Wigan/Mecca/Torch/Stafford all rolled into one, I think I just love it all
  15. Hi Kev You personally have not mentioned a "Burnley" sound in this thread, but others have mentioned it in the past, and I was hoping that as you frequented the "Bat Cave" more than I, you were better placed to guide me as to what a "Burnley" sound is/was, but if you're saying there isn't one, then that answers my query Cheers darling
  16. That makes complete sense to me.... now At the 2011 Blackpool Hilton Weekender, Colin Curtis did a fantastic "Mecca" spot. It was billed as a "Mecca" spot in the programme, but as I never went to the Mecca I didn't know how authentic it was. It was a 70's spot, and I enjoyed it regardless of its roots. Now this year at Blackpool Hilton Weekender he did another great spot, completely different to the previous year, but I enjoyed it just a much. When speaking to a friend about it, they commented on how they wish they had heard his "Mecca" spot. I was puzzled as it was nothing like the previous "Mecca" spot I had heard, this one was a bit more commercial, still good, but completely different, so I checked the programme out and yep it was billed as a "Mecca" spot ! (The Mecca meets the Ritz) Thanks for helping out a very confused little lady who never went to The Mecca, nor Wigan, nor The Torch
  17. Kev Will you upload me a "Burnley" sound, as I am honestly perplexed as to what a "Burnley" sound is, and how it is different to what I've been hearing the last 25 years Cheers Edit: or why I'm not likely to hear it elsewhere (if that's the case) Apologies for bringing Burnley into it, but I truly want to learn what a "Burnley" sound is (I attended Burnley when Phil first started it, and when Sean & Karl took over & I still don't understand) People saying it's 100mph banging 60's doesn't help me, as lots of places play 100mph banging 6t's and have done so for a while. I'm not trying to be awkward here, I genuinely want to learn & understand
  18. It is in my opinion, and the downfall of any venue could be the VERY sound (whatever that is) that made it " The Sound of x" If that makes sense
  19. Our ex-client had so much money, that he didn't know what to do with it, but he did donate millions to charity He came from a humble background, and made his millions by inventing a product that's widely used by the military. Sadly, he died in 2010, leaving £340m to his family, of which they have donated millions to Charity too
  20. That's the name that sprang to my mind, and in that case, it's a great number plate ... for him An ex-client of ours purchased S1, the first Scottish Registration number, I think he paid in the region of £400k for it, it was worth more than the ruddy car
  21. Leeds, lock up your daughters, or maybe not , as half of em will be YOUR daughters Back to Philly (I wish ) Have only managed to listen to CD1 Uptempo Good Time Philly (the package I had to pick up from Royal Mail wasn't the cd after all ) so scratch me off the list as the last person in the UK to listen to The Re-Edits (well CD1 anyway) What I've heard so far I like lots & lots & lots & lots & lots Splendid stuff Mr D
  22. Blimey, what a great loss. RIP Etta x
  23. :lol: that's naughty, but brilliant
  24. Very sad, the man done good though - 90 years of age! Leaving behind his wife of 70 years !! Remarkable life, and from reading the article will have a remarkable send off, and so he should RIP Mr Otis xx
