OMG! i have only just heard about ted,s passing...what a void the man will leave, i didnt know ted we had banter on the web years ago but what a smashing bloke, i truly am gutted..condolences to his family and close friends...terrible. -
yes this is the 2nd time its happened to JM as far as i know, its a bit of a blow to his business for the time being, and all the work Paul Royle has put in, but knowing john he will bounce back with a solution. Interesting to note that JM,s Rock, Pop & Ska channel is still up as is Paul,s Beat Ballad Heaven channel ? So god knows what,s happened ?..Fingers crossed they,ll sort it out.

yes he actually passed the day before...a giant of a man in soul music R.I.P. his 1960,s releases & his work with Maze will live forever i,m sure.

This is very sad news indeed..My fondest memory of chris was when i was flogging about 400 45,s and he came round to my house for a gander. He bought the lot that i put in an old suitcase for him to take away in his jag with a pile of "Blues & Soul" mags. My regret was he offered to take me into Nottingham to meet Popcorn Wylie who was on at Hinckley which sadly i couldnt accept, a big regret now years later. When we met up at his gigs we had a laugh about the suitcase.Great lad & Jock that will be missed by this fellow Nottingam native... R.I.P. mate and condolences to his Family...God Bless

Bruce isnt my cup of tea but i respect him as a top performer for what he does. in his defence he was a soul fan in his teens with his m8s and bought lots of 45,s and this album was conceived in lockdown as he wanted to do something totally different. It shows his respect for the music as he highlighted on the Graham Norton show a few weeks back. I always believed the first Soul Demo turned up in Nottingham..(Rob Smiths ?) and discovered by DJ Jonathon way before searling or winstanley,but who knows?

so very sad to see the passing of this legend...RIP JOE... Grammy award-winning R&B singer Joe Simon has died aged 85, according to reports. The artist, who sang the 1972 hit Power of Love and was sampled by hip hop group OutKast, died on Monday in his hometown near Chicago, US music magazine Billboard said. Simon was known also for US R&B chart-topper The Chokin Kind in 1969 and 1971’s Drowning in the Sea of Love. His 1975 track Get Down, Get Down (Get on the Floor) Simon’s highest entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number eight.

such sad news for the new year. yet another incredible legend has left us to join the army of legends in the great beyond. fond memories of hunting out her records and dancing to them. Detroit has yielded so much talent,but this lady was very special. R.I.P. Lorraine

the first time i encountered people,mainly guys dancing on their own was at the beachcomber club in nottingham 1966. mainly becuse the girls couldnt be arsed to dance as much as the enthusiastic guys! and slowly over te years this seemed to become the norm? came into its own big time at the dungeon/Nottingham-iron door/liverpool-2nd twisted wheel/manchester-whitworth st...as is known the first location was braznose st.
