Just hearing the sad news that the grand old lady of soul, Della Reese, has passed away. Singer of one or my all time faves Blow Out the Sun. I think she was about 94. She.was of course an actress, who starred alongside Rick Pryor in Harlem Nights. God speed another voice in the choir.

nOT ANY MORE IT AINT JUST ORDERED IT :)))

Big tributes on MSN another rich voice full of fire gone what a singer truly a voice of our era RIP

That was great and should have been an hour longer

Hi Flynnie haha its long tome ago i knkw bit erm...have you still got this spare. Cheers Sean

Prices prices prices again-love to discuss the merit of bands and singers as people in other genres do.

The engineer could have done to have brushed it uo a bit more but it is th spot screw it gunna get one.

Jsesus wept....

I never go bitten by hugh price sounds, more fun in bargain hunting, got a couple ofreally wants but never more than 120 personally, and a nicey quidder i.e. sons of watts will always fill my eart with jo and i love seeing people dig though the poundy boxes cos you always find something.

He ripped off artists, he ripped off buyers, and now hes born again. Perhaps he can sing us all a hymn or two. This is truly a blessed time.

Hes so Good on Junior label has anyone got a sound file for this at all please, many thanks

anyone got a sound file for your unusual love thanks!

No thats true that.

Thatll be ok to stick on in the car. but ever since i saw him in red shorts and a mullet dancing to shoot that poison arrow on totp my opinion has soured a little.

This thread is sinkin into the mire nar lad

Also wherveryou go the bar staff theyhore at bigger dos are always having a boogie without exception. Ive knownpeople give them cds at the end of the night and they have been quick to say on many occasions that their own music is shit. So get out there and keep promoting the genre. It will only die if you let it

However this isn't a rant or a moan, the night was an absolute roaring success, the students, aged between 18 and probably 20ish, were coming up to us soulies telling us how wicked the music is, the floor was heaving, packed to bursting point, in short it was a cracking night, sure you couldn't get up and do the northern shuffle, although our women did shoes off and stockinged feet, they didn't seem put off by all the young boys and it was somewhat irritating for all of us but make no mistake this was a cracking night, the DJs and the venue must have been absolutely delighted, these kids were seriously getting down in their way to the sounds that Jo, Lee and Fraze were socking to 'em! OK they were enjoying it in a different way than we do, there was no discussion about records or labels, there were no posturing ballerinas to watch, no reminiscing about 'when I were a lad', no chewing invisible gum, no moaning whether it was OVO or not (I'm sure it was as the DJs are quality proper Soul DJs) but make no mistake the kids were totally loving it! I guess we won't be going again, but that's fine, we won't be missed, the numbers were great without us little lot, and it was fantastic, good to see, compared to most soul events this was a riot! Brilliant win-win that would have been right up my street, wish Id been there to see that, unfortunately the scene is dominated by well...others...and some of the young uns coming onto the scene are being bigged up and schooled in pure arrogance, which means in ten years time they will be left to play by themselves. answer is to go forward and not look back, decline is reflected in the amount of "safe djs" who have been playing the same sets for the past ten years, eventually people go off and do other things, it will go the same way as the rock n rollers, if theres no new words in a language it dies off, that is the Northern scene in a lot of quarters. TBH some places have turned into WMCs. The rock n roll scene as an example is alive and well in the continent where they have big attendances and big prize dance comps, pure enjoyment, and I havent been to one yet but the soul scene is obviously strong in Europe.

Few good bits by the artist very powerful r and b sound, few bits on ebay but not a lot for sale this side of the pond. A very prolific artist to 150 plus entries on discogs

Whatever it is a speedy re pvery is wished upon you Ted.

Id have to hear soundfile to blow my wedge on it. Notice no address as is usual with the label but a copyrightwarning on,y round the label edge and writing inverted.

Ive never seen this format in UK although it could be Dutch indeed as you picked it up there. The colour is sometimes off with their issues, or Im thinking African perhaps as a long shot. No other photos about, whats in the deadwax, is it vinyl or styrene I guessing vinyl, the centre hole looksa little rough cut.

Its a lovely record. Got mine for 45 three yrs ago.

One of my top singers good luck lady of soul and get well soon https://youtu.be/UooUh7ppP1s love you Della
