Just fantastic,here we see yet again as we have with our music kids on street corners who will never make a nickel or a dime out of this real tallent,what will happen is that some white guys will do a watered down version enter the world of show-biz become rich and famous be called Fred Astair and the like whilst those black guys melt away never to be seen again,its fuckin wrong

Yes 3 great guys,RIP Dave;,miss all those mad times

You can always rely on Pat,shes a darling.Love you babes.Gilly UK and Nicola

Got one Dave and so should everyone else.

So sad,another passing of a great artist,someone who is from the same stable and musical era that we here in the UK have loved and worshiped from our teenage beginings.Its such a shame that Clyde and indeed all those guys from that city just oozed with talent that the worlds stage never got to hear them,we have been so lucky and we thank them never to be forgoten. DID MY BABY CALL. RIP Clyde Wilson.we love you.Gilly and Nicola

You are forever that true and beautiful person,bless you.

Was lucky to of been the one sort of looking after him.On his first visit he was stopping over at Chris Kings house in Carlton,Notts we then ran him up to Parr Hall,Warrington,he went on stage and did a bit of DJing.The second time he sang at that Birmingham Venue and apart from when he was doing the business he wouldnt let me leave his side.I used to see him on my trips in Detroit and he never forgot me,proberly had all his released stuff,a fantastic singer.Hope his health improves Dave

RICH DOUGLAS ?

Is it possible for anyone to have every B/E issue,the reason i ask is because i still have a large amount but i seem to remember on a few occasions the news agent telling me they were on strike this week,what part of the process he ment i dont know ie printers,journalists?

Me likes it too Steve

Would like to see that photo Steve,is that possible?The story of Pete jumping off the balcony has been told many times over the years and having met Pete a fair few years ago i never doubted it and like you say Steve its true and that should be good enough for everyone.

Well said Dave it must of been a great day

Cant stand the bloody record but just love the other side on one of the labels "The Boy Next Door by far a better record

I AGREE,HOW SWEET THAT WAS,bless you Dave you only deserve to be liked as so many would agree.Gilly and Nicola

I seem to remember meeting him a very long time ago but cant be100% sure

Yes your right Dean theres a George Benson name pops-up on certain sessions seen it a few times.

Yes Coddy was a bit of a lad,when he lived in Burton on Trent i used to see him at the famed 76 club,just looking at him could make you freek out but he was a darling towards me mainly i think the girl i was dating at the time was sister to one of Coddys old friends who got killed on the way home from the Torch (rip).Knew his brother well too,Mickey Moonshine,(lived in London last i saw.I also knew the mother and felt very proud to of been asked to dj at one of her birthdays in some club in Chesterton SOT.

This is a good one from Pat Brady at Wigan,"THE NEXT RECORD GOES OUT TO TODAYS MODS,ITS KENNY GAMBLE and the JOKES ON YOU. flippin brill.Another one this time from Brian Rae,he thanks the previous DJ for his set and went on to say "YOUVE GOT ME, MYSELF AND I ON NOW and went straight into his first record.

Being offered a Don Gardner at Wigan for £80 and deciding against it,Mick Moore bought it i think.?

Talking of Larry Stave i was told just the other week that Larry and some of his mates who drink in the Neptune were refused entry to a recent Derby home match.Dont forget that Larry is around the 60 mark

There was a Queen of Fools issue with "return to BBC library" stamped on it but i dont think Mr Manship ever owned it,unless there were more than one copy.

Great guy is Eric,havn't seen him in years,bit of a fashion trend setter too,as far as i know he was the first to wear his shirt on the outside of his trousers it of course became a way of dressing for the 80ts football hooligans.

INDEED SIR
