I was right!! - You Chorley are one and the same

Blimey - exhausted after the Sunday picture quiz. However, before I hit the sack, here's an EWF track that was played at Blackpool Mecca but perhaps a bigger sound at the Ritz in Manchester: Biyo

Thanks again to everyone who joined in this week. A tremendous effort conducted in good spirit. If you had half as much fun as me you will have had a ball! Take it easy everyone and have a good week. Godz

Well done!!! Harry Betts was a trombonist and arranger who later worked extensivelyin Hollywood. His first major gig was as a trombonist and arranger withStan Kentonin the early '50s, after which he settled in Hollywood, working intelevision and film as well as in the burgeoning jazz recording field.Betts worked with Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, June Christy, Shorty Rogers, Barney Kessel, Pete Rugolo, and Oscar Peterson during the 1950s, while in the 1960s he was associated with recordings by Sam Cooke (on Ain't That Good News), Carol Lawrence, Frank Sinatra, and Mel Tormé. During the 1970s, his work brought him into collaborations with such diverse artists as Bobby Sherman, Tower of Power, and Bruce Johnston. During the late '50s and early '60s, Betts was also closely associated with Choreo/AVA Records,for which he recorded his only album, The Jazz Soul of Doctor Kildare,in 1962, which featured a band of West Coast luminaries including Jack Sheldon, Milt Bernhart, Bud Shank, and Bill Perkins. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide Harry Betts (born 15 September, 1922) is a jazz composer and trombonist. Born in New York and raised in Fresno, CA he has written and orchestrated soundtracks for several films, including The Fantastic Plastic Machine and Nice Dreams. Music from his 1972 soundtrack to Black Mama, White Mama was used in the 2003 soundtrack for Kill Bill, Volume 1.

He was active as a jazz trombonist and played with Stan Kenton's orchestra in the 1950s, among others. So: Epic - sub of Major label Columbia. Connections with black music/art - the Blaxploitation soundtrack Black Mama, White Mama. Closer to Al De Lory as a Jazzer and anyone else mentioned who did theme songs.

That's both wrong and very rude. I shall be writing to your parents.

It's a major. Or a sub of one.

They would B sides wouldn't they Ken? This has a big fat "A" on the Northern side of promo copies.

about time you joined in Cod. Nope though. I see you've cottoned on to the jazz business but don't let that lead you astray. His Northern tune was a 'genre' type record but not jazz. As you can probably tell I'm near the end of the wine and getting close to bedtime...

GSH was a black proto-rapper. I think you mean Mystic Moods aka Mystic Moods Orchestra who did Astral Trip. Again about the right time but thematically much further away.

Actually you're closer with teddy Not for his soul credentials though. Time for more clues: as well as thinking about Teddy Vann I can tell you've I've already mentioned a word that's in the title of Mystery Guy's record in an earlier post. On purpose.

just keeping him on each page so you don't have to go back.

That's two questions. However we need to get this done tonight as I'm busy all day tomorrow and out in the evening so: No you haven't established an instrument - but it doesn't matter to this quiz which one. Yes he did play trombone. He was well known for it apparently. Makes no difference to this quiz as it's got really got anything to do with his Northern Soul record. Actually there are some but pretty low in the mix near the end so don't get hung up on the 'bone.

much, much colder....

See what you mean Nope.

Then put all your money in an envelope and post it to me. Better than chucking it down the drain

Carry on like this and you'll be the one to crack it Rovers

Very considerate. Put your hands out... Neither. You were doing so well...

I've mended your tumbleweed. Now, see me after class, Big Chris.

At last! No

The closest guess so far I suppose. Bath's ready - I'll deal with any sensible guesses when I get out

Harner's done loads of blue eyed soul stuff. Unlike our chappy who's done errr... none.

You said Jerry Fuller. Now put this pointy hat on and stay in the corner until someone else has had a guess.

Good question! Not as far as I know though.

Wrong instrument
