Just a head up to some repeated soul on the beeb for the next couple of hours , Soul at the beeb + a Northern documentary featuring all the usual suspects.

The price is coming down on this classic , seems as it was listed a bit to high to temp anyone.

Conjures up an image of bygone Sundays , listening to BBC World Service with my mother while she cooked lunch. Hated that programme.

It is better than the Laura Lee vocal version ,but that would not take much beating

Still remember it to this day, sat close to the front of the stage, totally mesmerised and in awe of the great man.

Got the same programme though i purchased it at The City Hall Sheffield.

I agree , did not mind the Aquarian version when I first heard it ,but on hearing the other versions the kids voices now grate on me.

Are you aware that the Aquarian and the MGM are different mixes , the Aquarian version has some kids singing the chorus on it. It also got a release on the Boblo label as well .

Watched it last night before it was took off and I cannot see what the fuss is all about, 1 and a half minutes of a crap record danced to by about 6 lads and lasses watched on by a bemused totps audience.

This guy i would imagine also off Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Benson_(saxophonist

Thanks for the advice buts it costing me a small fortune in bird seed so I could not afford a pet as well . I will stick to cleaning up around the feed stations daily , it seems to be working

I like to feed the birds but encouraging rodents to a free meal on the floor I will give the nijer a miss , feeding sunflower seeds and they seem ok on that. Nijer is a plant native of Afghanistan I believe Dave, is that correct ? Just looked it up a native of Ethiopia.

They come to come my garden in droves up to 20 at a time , I have had to stop feeding nijer seeds because even though they are beautiful birds their eating manners leave much to be desired, more on the floor than eaten .

It did an hour ago Pete , non of the pictures in the topic are showing to me at the moment I am getting a 404 ERROR. ps I did say it was hardly a great photo

Hardly a great photo by the standards on here but this was took in my back garden with my phone , a young Goldfinch enjoying sunflower seeds.

Nice selection of records , and I love how we define Modern Soul records, whichby all sense and purpose are 40 years old last night I had a Robert Cray session played off spotify through my Bose speaker .

R I P ROD Once saw a band advertised playing at a local working mens club in the mid seventies , thought they sounded like a soul band type group but decided to give it a miss the band was Johnnie Wilders Chicago Heatwave who later became just Heatwave .

That playlist sounds like one these Northern Soul cds that will be appearing around November for Christmas , some of those records played were overplayed oldies in the seventies.

Got admit Pete Bluetooth seems to be one of the most annoying things I have come across but a bit of perseverance usually pays off . Good luck .

Bluetooth can be a bit temperamental I would assume you managed to pair your 2 devices if so give it another try .

Bluetooth headphones Pete ?

Most of the music I play at home is now streamed mainly from Spotify . Cannot remember the last time I played any vinyl my collection is in limbo, and I am also finding that my cds are gathering dust now. I find it so easier to stream music, I cannot be bothered to go through the f**k about with vinyl especially, all I do now is stream off the laptop to my Bose speaker and that's enough for me at this moment in time. Technology rules OKEH !
