Simsy

Am sure I've got that tape, will have a looksee when I get home.

Could you post a web link? TIA

Yeah I suspect he was out of his mind. Young, loads a dough, in a foreign country, entourage acceptance etc. I know we a bit biased and it was estensibly about Ali and Foreman, but could of done with showing a bit more footage of the music. Saw little of BB King and so called 'Gofdather of Soul' James Brown.

Yeah great film mate. Fascinating watching Don King in action, he talks so fast, schmoozing people etc. Staggering scale of event in Zaire of all places, they had to fight at four in the morning or something, in order for the US audience to tune in. Millions of dollars involved. Amazing result with Ali taking a pasting til he pounced (or should that be stung) in order to win the fight. Incredible, just like Liston, although I believe that one was fixed.

Wow. Have spent hundreds of pounds on Roy Hamilton records, never thought of him as white sounding though.

explain.

Ah this was massive in the mid eighties, hanclappin' at the Fleet . That's what makes it Northern. But Troy Dodds he ain't

Wow! When was the last time anyone hitched to a nighter eh? Oh to be young again

Where was this nighter again, Sesame Street?

Seventeen off topic posts on this thread and I get quoted for a two word post I apologised in advance for. Cheers Mike

No soundcard in this pc, but I know this tune. "Damelo shing a ling" "Damelo mini skirt" Miniskirt?

All singing all dancing - was a Stuart McConie radio 2 show and was excellent I thought. Mark Lamar show on a Sunday night, top for alternate sixties.

Me too Sorry Shane

Really? Or do you think it's just quite good? Brilliant? Baz come on. Repetitive and dull I thought.

Keni Lewis - What's Her Name

1984/5 Got a bus to London Victoria, then a coach on to Leicester for the Odfellows nighter. However when we got there it had been cancelled

Yeah colds are one thing, respiration etc is a bit serious though. Don't think anyone's going to be able to top Jo Wallace's car accident on the way to wigan story. "Do you want to go to hospital"? "No I want to go to Wigan"!

Talking of Lourdes, I feel the 100 Club has the same healing powers. As previously stated, been there with a stinking cold, but the music, the atmosphere and the dancing etc burnt through those symptoms and I came out in the morning feeling much better.

I have had to re jig Mother's Day and some family birthday's on occasion in order to make my fave nighter in the past. Once sold my Megadrive (remember them) and all it's games to finance a nighter when I was skint. I've been struck down with flu before, but loaded myself up with Day Nurse, Red Bull etc and still gone. Once saw Trickster at a nighter, on crutches with his leg in plaster! I wonder what tales there are from folk putting their soul nights and nighters first? What lengths do people go to? Ever kept a Sunday lunch date off the back of an all nighter? What porkies have family and friends been told in order for you to keep that date in the soul calendar?

Agreed. Have the Jimmy James - New Religion LP with his version, vocal not in same league as Tempests. My Tempests top 3 would be; 1. I cried for you 2. Someday 3.What you gonna do

yo mama told me cheeky cow! You leave my mother out of this. Chancer.

Boogaloo (shing-a-ling, popcorn music) is a genre of Latin music and dance that was very popular in the United States in the late 1960s. Boogaloo originated in New York City among teenage Cubans and Puerto Ricans. The style was a fusion of popular African American R&B, rock and roll and soul with mambo and son montuno. Boogaloo entered the mainstream through the American Bandstand television program.

Not just northern soul, mind. But 'Monster Northern Soul"!!! Unbelievable! Dunno if you've asked the seller a question? I did, couldn't help meself. "Why on earth would you think this record has anything to do with northern soul"?
