Well due a bit of re-activation imo! and nice and cheap too at the mo! Monroe Taylor "Proud Guy" https://youtu.be/Fn9YXoTXhWA steve

Gets my vote Rich! new one here, love it! steve

Carltons "I'm A Man" my fav side these days, just love it steve

Nice one Dave, new one to these old lugs, really like that mate, see it's got Robert Banks on arranging credits too, nice one steve

Not heard that before mate, great stuff! steve

Tis a great bit of deep that flip steve

Cheers Miff steve

echo what you say there mate, been an education for me ps. Jesse's version of "At Last" sublime stuff! steve

Essential stuff Miff a great builder, perhaps the best use of chord changes ever! flip of mine is "Who Is He (And What Is He To you)" tho? are you talkin bout the UK issue there mate? steve

Can only hear Smokey myself Rich! ain't heard this before mate, cracking track! steve

Cracking track this Ritchie, Yvonne Fair got propper balls on this one! she seemed very underated at motown? got this and her exquisite "Stay A Little Longer" that came out on the Soul label. She did the business again with her take on Kim Weston's old "It Should Have Been Me" too! steve

Glad ya liked that other Mike Kirkland track mate Zay records was a small early 70's label started by Jesse James and his manager Hosea Wilson I think, along with a another small label Zea, inbetween Jesse's 20th Cent stuff. Jesse had a couple of outings on both labels including this great little crossover cheapie Jesse James "I Know I'll Never Find Another One" Zay... https://youtu.be/kXn1x8BQ8HE ..... and indeed this superb souful track on Zea (blows me away this one! what a talent the man is!) Jesse James "I Need You" Zea https://youtu.be/mDEIR7Tem78 steve

Superb track mate really liking that Another Record of his I seem to play a lot these days, more down tempo... but sooo classy imo Mike Kirkland "Together" on Zay (seems to be a toughie on the label?) https://youtu.be/AsIG328cd04 steve

Cheers for the info Dave steve

It had to be top of my list Lorraine! must have been great to hear him recording this Has me in tears too! even more so when I think that i'll never be lucky enough to get my hands on a copy! btw Lorraine! there's another record that's up there for me as definitive Soul, that you and Jack Ashford wrote and produced..... Ray Gant's version of "Don't Leave Me Baby" steve

Forgoten this one Martyn! got one in the racks somewhere H&L? or was it Avco? orange and purple label.... mind's gone! steve

Stunning track this! always rated it. If these were rare eh? a must for every collection in my book steve

You're welcome Rich, know that great feeling when you find something ya already got steve

Rex Garvin's version new on me Dave, really like this, got the Dynamos version which I picked up for a couple of quid, certainly wouldn't pay anyway near book price of £50 for it! Is Rex's version a hard one Dave? steve

Know where ya coming from mate One great track that did escape to 45 off Maxine's "Out Of Sight" Lp on epic was this one writen by Bridges Knight and Eaton and produced by Mike Terry ... say no more!! Maxine Brown "Seems You've Forsaken My Love" (Ooops that's 2 from me today! promise no more tomorrow! ) https://youtu.be/bzgJxqutDEk steve

gets better each time I hear this Dave! still ain't got one either! Val's got some great tracks loaded on his Youtube page for sure steve

Great version by Maxine! wish this had seen a 45 release? ... and not forgeting the original take of this fantastic Loraine Chandler Jack Ashford tune Ray Gant... for me just a definative Soul record of the highest order Ray Gant & The Arabian Knights "Don't Leave Me" Jaywalking https://youtu.be/QW6pz3Eyov8 steve

It was produced by James Brown, one of the writing credits "D Bryant" is Donald Bryant the singer (well one of 'em) been lead to believe co-wrote by James Brown? but on the writing credits is an "E Brown" too? wonder if it is a coincidence and they are members of the group along with Donald Bryant? steve

Echo what Marcus sez Steve, we really enjoyed ya tunes tonite mate, Top tunes from a top bloke with great taste steve

Determinations "Bing Bong" but what about the other side!! "Girl Girl Girl" stunning group harmony for me, making it an essential double sider https://youtu.be/SuYO7KHsS2g https://youtu.be/cejl4Jb1OKA steve
