Should have said before - I'll take questions, same as last week. Only those that I can give a 'Yes' or 'No' answer to though

Doobie Brothers were a white soul act mate. This fellow is NOT A SOUL ACT - but like I said he's connected in a way with black music. Or maybe that should be black art or maybe culture. Some folks at the time would argue about that though.

Sure has - here's a later pic

Denied in post 24 - pay attention at the back there!

Out of Jay and the Americans? He's on facebook you know

Nice! Nope

The (Young) Rascals were pretty much a blue eyed soul act. This chap ain't no soul man, Ken.

I'm rubbish with years but that sounds about right. Maybe a year either way - your era for sure webslinger.

This is a lot further removed from soul than silent Treatment, Rhino.

Nope. Shane had another blue eyed soul record didn't he - One and One? Our fellow only had one track played on the scene.

Can see where you're going - and it's the wrong way Our chap was the named artist on the record. Tom was producer of Outsiders and record boss for J C Messina wasn't he?

No - but right sort of period as to when his record was played on the scene

As in ex boss of Sony records and ex Mr Mariah Carey? Nah - he was a trumpeter

Isn't he another country dude - albeit British? he certainly sounded country on the Pye demo I picked up in a job lot. Sorry isis, like I said deffo not a country artist.

Fuller stsrted off doing rockabilly and grew into a phenomenal writer, doing stuff for everybody from the Union Gap to O c Smith. He wrote the garage classic "Lies" for the knickerbockers - a fantastic early Beatles type rocker and also wrote "Show and Tell' as cut by Al Wilson among others. It's not Johnny Bristol either mate

Another bloke who did country and R&B. Nope. Our mystery geezer isn't connected with country music in any way as far as I'm aware.

I know Charlie became a country star but he wwas pretty R&B in the 60s wasn't he. This guy wasn't really R&B at all - although there are connections to various sorts of black music in addition to his Northern soul tune...

Blimey - who's Larry Sprigg? Bob Brady's trombonist I guess? Not right but that's certainly using your noggin

A bit less R&B than Jerry Fuller

Well it wasn't Rick Astley the first time it was suggested soooooooooo... Fair bit older than Ricky boy to be honest.

By left field I meant records played at UK soul clubs that wouldn't have been considered soul records anywhere else. Or anywhen maybe? As a rock n roller, Charlie Gracie would fit into that category. Ain't him though... Charlie Gracie

I have no idea what that means but it sounds painful Actually, I can still walk fine so I suspect it hasn't happened yet

I get the feeling you're not all taking this completely seriously... Anyway - nope to all of those excellent suggestions. Obviously this is an old photo of him. I'll post a more recent one in a bit if we're not getting warmer.

Last week's went down ok and had the bizarre side effect of creating a bit of demand (well one person anyway) for Jackie Forrest's "Show Me How To Love" Here's another one. Personally I think it will be a bit easier once you get on the right track - but who knows? Staying with the tradition, this guy is connected with the rather 'left field' side of Northern Soul. The more people join in the better it is and there's no shame in having a guess, so please have a go Here's our mystery geezer

Exactly. An increase in available copies by stock turning up = a less rare record. I guess if someone lost a box load or dropped them, smashing them to bits the record could become more rare but otherwise it's a load of horlicks innit?
