How can you say out isn't a dance floor winner? Packs the floor whenever I have seen it played and more and more Djs getting behind it, 3k a copy, fckin barmy. -
10/15 years after Rod it went for big money or began to after it had been revived. Quite a lot of copies out there too, more than people realise.
-
First played early 90s. Revived early 2000s by Andy Dyson then hammered by all who could get a copy.
-
At same time I think though not 100%
-
Papa Bear is a floorpacker for Ted Massey, Ginger etc. Was revived at Lifeline early 2000s and subsequently hammered by anyone who could get one of the many copies out there. Very few big new discoveries, if any, certainly mainstream.

All the companies focus on now is fleecing the customer. It was a good thing as it gave record stores a massive boost, I guess they still do to some degree.

Press Release: Chuck Stephens “Paying For Your Love/Let’s Get Nasty” SJ1011 Release Date: Monday 9th April 2018 Listen whilst reading: SJ1011 - Chuck Stephens Promo.mp3 Chuck Stephens originally hailed from upstate New York reputedly Buffalo. He was during the mid 1970’s one of the leading disc jockey’s on the popular New York radio station WWRL AM. Chuck had always hankered with the aspiration of being a recording artist and in the pursuit of his dream approached the respected New York songwriting team of brothers Richard and Robert Poindexter. Following an invitation from The Poindexter’s Chuck began to stage rehearsals at their home. Once the Poindexter’s felt Chuck was ready they took him into the studio to record one of their many compositions, “Let’s Get Nasty. “Let’s Get Nasty” b/w “Girl I Want To Make Love To You” was to gain a release on The East Coast label during 1975. The Poindexter’s then recorded a further two songs on Chuck both Richard and Robert compositions along with a third songwriter Jacqueline Members, who became the wife of Robert Poindexter. The songs in question were the excellent mid tempo outing “Coffee” backed with the sublime and currently in demand modern soul dance track, “(I’m Still) Paying For Your Love” to use its original working title, although the “(I’m Still)” was later omitted from its released title. “Coffee/Paying For Your Love” although being released on the Leo Mini label (LS-110A) during1977 had in fact been recorded within a few months of Chucks “Let’s Get Nasty” release and had remained in the can until the Leo Mini release. Chuck Stephens’s work came to the attention of the UK Rare/Northern Soul scene during 1975 as an import new release 45. When it was picked up and championed by legendary Blackpool Mecca Disc Jockey Colin Curtis firstly mixing it in with other new release and current spins of the day. At the time the Mecca Saturday night soul sessions always finished off with the last record of the night Young-Holt Unlimited’s Brunswick records outing “California Montage” a Dave Grusin penned song that featured as part of the soundtrack of 1969 Paul Newman film “The Winning”. With the Mecca only running to a 2am finish a lot of the audience would leave before 1am to go on to various all night venues. It was at this point that the aforementioned DJ Colin Curtis went on to create the term ‘The last Hour Mecca Sound”. In doing so Colin changed the dynamics of The Mecca from the more traditional northern soul sound and used the last hour to experiment with different styles, tempos, new releases and album tracks of which many became to be regarded as all time classic’s. One being Chuck Stephen’s “Let’s Get Nasty” which Colin promoted to the last record of the night in favour of Young-Holt’s “California Montage” Soul Junction now presents to you, Chuck Stephens most popular two songs back to back.

Whatever floats her boat and those who like her, but it isn’t about the scene is it, it isn’t northern soul nor IMO is what this forum should be about, just further dumbing down of the music. If she is that good why not do something original.

Just seen it mate 👍

Where did it go?
-
Little Sherman Price of love?

Someone needs to clean their ears out, one of the best blue eyed soul singer ever 😆

Whoever own the rights will get the royalties, usually the large conglomerates like BMG, Sony etc. Highly unlikely the artist gets anything, unless of course they own the rights outright which is doubtful.
-
You got a link for the vinyl copy? Only seen Cd.
-
Timmion the best
-
Different Tempos, those in your document are the West Coast group (Countdown). The one who is the subject of this topic is from Detroit.
-
Really sad news. But at least he had the satisfaction that what he did has left a lasting impression and one of the scene's most iconic records, some say the best. R.I.P. Fisher.
-
The mono one is West Coast, Monarch press.
-
Remember the night well, Dave was so nervous he was shaking. I don’t know why he did great.
-
@Andy Rix when he appeared at Grumpy Soul, outstanding music.
-
Another great set mate. No one to touch him really. Andy Dyson played a fabulous couple of sets at Boomerang couple of years ago too.
-
Its practically impossible to do a set of unknowns now but BITD it was the norm? As much as I love the oldies, the rare ones etc, I get quickly bored when they are trotted out one after the other. I much prefer a set of imaginative forgotten or lesser played stuff, always have done But speaking of rarities, Butch’s recent 70s, crossover etc set at Steve Plumb’s night was another memorable night. Two hours of cover ups, acetates and rarities, he didn’t eben delve into the 60s that he is noted for.
-
I was wondering if someone would actually credit a Dj who discovered some records rather than credit oldies Djs playing other peoples records. Bit of a sorry state when oldies are the most memorable sets. Have to agree with Butch, always was and still is an air of anticipation waiting for him to get behind the decks. His mid 80s sets like you said blew you away. His sets at the first Lifeline, 2004, was pure soul heaven.

He can sing the phone book for all I care, I’ll be there to show sime respect and appreciation to one who has done so much for the music I love.
