......... AND ... you could pick up copies of the album in the UK back then for pence (Yanks, Mancaster I think). An 'Andy Whitmore' discovery if I'm not mistaken. Seem to recall Andy doing an article on Leslie in a soul fanzine back then.

I'm sure it didn't escape on Playboy, Osiris or Columbia (his US labels from 74 to 78) ...... ..... AND I SHOULD KNOW WHAT HE WAS UP TO, after all I was his producer & arranger ........

A little band from LA ...........

Lots of tracks like these on ............ Bill Haney's Atlanta Soul Brotherhood CD & VOL.2 CD from Kent.

And anuva from Chant ...............

Another nice one from the same source (label, writer, producer & youtube poster) ..........

Has sold for as much as $1600, $1700 & $2000, but that's the BOBBY (wil)BURN version of the 45 on Chant. Doesn't it originate from the Atlanta area (so no Philly Soul connection at all).

Coming to London soon, but back in 1970 he was on in NY ...... Mor of Chicago's finest taking on NY audiences in 70 ..........

Chicago hits New York in some style (with help from Philly & Detroit: the 2nd show on this ad -- late Feb 70) ..........

Thought I'd resurrect this thread as I have more interesting show ads to put up ............ I wonder if the Swordsmen were still part of her live 'company' at this time (early 70) .......... Another soulful female on the NY club scene ...........

This uns a lot more like it (guess that's him on piano) ......

The above IS Jimmy Wisner, back in his Buffalo days. It was his record label too. Another from him (but the vocals on this make it a lot more MOR) .........

A bit of live jazz from Marcus Miller .......... a Motown original it ain't ..........

A different version of a 60's classic ..........

There was a 2nd pressing of the earlier version of this US hit 45. I think that later version of the Roulette 45 label appeared initially around #4520 (& the Essex 45 was #4515). Guess the 2nd press is worth as much as the 1st press as it must have followed the 1st by just a few weeks (but the reissue would be worth less) .....

I just luv me some jazz keyboards ...... Ramsey was good .... but he wern't the only one ..........

Hard to beat this dancer though .......... a MS anthem ............. ............ AND ........ Phil Perry (as a solo artist) has made 100's of gems !! Phil ..... all by imsen ............... love don't love nobody ............

More IMB stuff ............

One of Keni's MS anthems .............. don't get no betta than this ............... Invisible Mans Band .............. I remember when you could pick up copies of their albums in Yanks, Manchester for 49p (sometimes even less ) !!

Stevie Wonder Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park, London Sunday 10 July 2016 Prices from £72.80 (Incl admin fee) (+ £2.55 fulfilment fee) A bit expensive BUT if it's a sunny dry day it'll be a gudun............... tickets already on sale to Barclaycard holders (ahead of general public). Stevie intends to play (live) the entire 'Songs in the Key of Life' album ............ TOONNNSSSS

There's jazz & then there's jaaaazzzzzz .... the supper club type ..... I don't like all types of jazz but I do like everything on the funky end of the genre .... ........... like this for instance ............. AND this lady just about always stuck to straight unadulterated mainstream jazz ..... AND ... got lots of club gigs coz of that .....

The 5 Stairsteps in New York this time (Jan 70) .........

THIS Preston Foster deffo didn't write "Got My Mojo Workin", that was a 3rd PF (Preston 'Red' Foster -- a jazz guy) .......... ..... EVERY UK based R&B band did the song in the 60's .... lots did it live when they played Sheffield's King Mojo Club (can't think why) ... .......... here's LJB doing it on RSG ...........

Seems that BMI even get the 2 Preston Foster's mixed up ..... I'm sure 'our guy' didn't actually write most of the other songs on this list ......

An awful recording but this still shows her attacking a Chess (Jackie Ross) soul number (but her outing was on Mercury) .........
