GREAT RECORD DID HE WRITE IT CHRIS ? -
At my 40th Birthday party there were 4 copies in the building... Mine Richard Broughton Arthur Fenn (Mint from dave R ) and the late Andy Lee / John poole (a VG / poor copy they were looking to buy Rob :-)

Ok looks like you are all as stumped as me then !!!! What about the cross-over / modern stuff ?
-
Yes Tony a senior moment, can you think of any tunes ?

As Melvin has now departed back to the USA, I am looking at the Northern songs that have been played, or are strong Northern which he wrote or co-wrote, these may be included in future shows here or on the Continent. I'm not after Songs he recorded himself, but the ones others did. Butch played a blinding set of records about 7 years ago at a gig in Stoke that Chris Waterman promoted " An audience with Melvin Davis". However since having my collection stolen, I no longer have the luxury of being able to sift through Detroit stuff looking at writers etc. Here's what I have so far. All records marked with a * are already included or have backing tracks done. JJ Barnes "Chains of love" * Jackey Beavers "I need my baby" * Edward Hamilton "I'm Gonna love you" * Darrell Banks "I'm the one who loves you" * Ann Perry "That's the way he is" Johnnie Mae Mathews "Lonely you'll be" Calvin Williams "Lonely you'll be" If you can include YouTube or Refosoul links even better as this helps Melvin get the feel of what we are after over here. Thanks in advance ! Rob.

Well Taff' its very short notice but everyone locally seems to be getting behind this. With a bit more notice this could be the start of a regular stop over for artist coming in. See you there Rob.

Dipping in to say anyone who wants Tickets (Guaranteed admission and save £2 on the OTD price) PM me on here or see any of the DJs I can take PayPal payments of Cheques. Rob

Just to add further info to the above, apart from the 3 gigs, Melvin might just be turning up at some local soul events as well, to help publicise the events and sell CDs 45s and sign pictures Keep an eye open for him--he's 6ft 6" !

No its to tracks, recorded in Detroit with his band there, costs are so prohibitive where live bands are concerned due to the number of members and flights required. Be great to do, but you need a venue that holds 6-700 at £20+ a ticket just to break even. Anyone got £6-7 K to throw at it and I'll gladly sort it out for you

A oneoff soul night featuring the Detroit soul ambassador Melvin davis see flyer for details -
Don't mind doing the odd Charity Night every now and then once or twice a year, usually rely on the pool of "proper" DJs as well." Easy way to put "Doubters" minds at ease is to hand over the Cheque on the night if possible... As Photo shows from November 2012 L to R Doug Hall, Steve Goody, Neil Self , Sara Baker (night in aid of her) Yours truly. A sum of £931.00 was raised towards medical costs for Sara and duly handed over towards the end of the night. Job Done.... Rob

"You've got to have a man inside you" was once asked for this by a young lady, I said i don't know it ? she said You played it last time...I sing it to you... Tyrone Barclay " Man of value"........

Mid spot -- very recently -- a lady asked if I could play something by Nolan Porter---- I pointed at the deck to the record which was playing and about half way through--- "If I could only be sure".. oh have you got anything else by him ? Are they deaf as well as thick ? Rob

Must have gone on holiday to Wigan then cos he played it there.. :lol:From a time Pete, Samatha's was Friday Night all-nighter, then he'd do Saturday night at Wigan, think he'd finished at Wigan before Sammy's closed. told me some great stuff about a DJ spending the night in the Cell's at Wigan over a stolen record..around 1974.....
