Maybe the reason for no mention of Otis is because i thought ? the main gist of the thread was records that changed the musical direction of black music in the U.S. example R&b to early soul then the Motown Sound then to more funk and album oriented stuff and seventies sweet soul, not records that had an influence on British listeners. Or maybe I am wrong as usual ?.

Thank f*** it never came about the thought of Jones doing those songs and others in Detroit with Motown does not dare thinking about. Jones at Motown nearly as big as tragedy as what happened to Delilah.

YES , winning is success losing is failure especially against 2 sides who 1 was inferior to our team Italy and Spain were probably equal. His defensive mentality cost us the chance of success.

If success means not winning anything that is true after all reaching 2 finals and a semi is a success of sorts

About the only decent decision he has made this summer.

If Man. United can beat Man City in the F.A Cup final I am sure England can pull an upset off against Spain.

Just a heads up to anyone interested Aretha live in Amsterdam 1968 on BBC 2 at 9.50pm tonight.

Deffo not Lorraine.

Unfortunately the greats who have hit paydirt do not get the accolades on here as much as the relative unknowns which is natural on a site about rare soul. Great to hear some of the tracks again though If we do the queen's it's a tough one for me to decide on one.

Cheers, noticed after posting and amended my post.

Error

England had no cohesion the players looked drained of energy and tactically inept.

Only watched one full game so far the England match, as usual we flatter to deceive, a good opening spell a well taken goal and then nothing of note, second half good job they lacked any punch near goal after good build up play and if it wasn't for a great save from Pickford the papers would have slaughtered us this morning. I suppose we will grow into the tournament .

Pickford Walker Stones Dunk Trippier Rice Saka Foden Bellingham Gordon Kane Let's have a go and throw off the shackles.

It is obvious as we get older the need to go out diminishes too much of a chore after a week at work or in my case endless appointments at the docs etc. But I am now happy to get the uptempo music out and play it at home at the weekend with a few cans and in the week I tend to play the more slower stuff and lps etc. Whatever happens to the scene the music is there for as long as we want it. And I am eternally grateful for that.
