Played out over the years, Driveller I think and Andy Dyson definately played it, still does occasionally. The flip has seen some turntable action too.

Still on the site >>HERE<<

Quick search and found a biog...... Donny Hathaway was one of the brightest new voices in soul music at the dawn of the '70s, possessed of a smooth, gospel-inflected romantic croon that was also at home on fiery protest material. Hathaway achieved his greatest commercial success as Roberta Flack's duet partner of choice, but sadly he's equally remembered for the tragic circumstances of his death -- an apparent suicide at age 33. Hathaway was born October 1, 1945, in Chicago, but moved to St. Louis when he was very young, and began singing in church with his grandmother at the scant age of three. He began playing piano at a young age, and by high school, he was impressive enough to win a full-ride fine arts scholarship to Howard University to study music in 1964. While in college, he performed with a cocktail jazz outfit called the Ric Powell Trio, and wound up leaving school after three years to pursue job opportunities he was already being offered in the record industry. Hathaway first worked behind the scenes as a producer, arranger, songwriter, and session pianist/keyboardist. He supported the likes of Aretha Franklin, Jerry Butler, and the Staple Singers, among many others, and joined the Mayfield Singers, a studio backing group that supported Curtis Mayfield's Impressions. Hathaway soon became a house producer at Mayfield's Curtom label, and in 1969 cut his first single, a duet with June Conquest called "I Thank You Baby." From there he signed with Atco as a solo artist, and released his debut single, the inner-city lament "The Ghetto, Pt. 1," toward the end of the year. While it failed to reach the Top 20 on the R&B charts, "The Ghetto" still ranks as a classic soul message track, and has been sampled by numerous hip-hop artists. "The Ghetto" set the stage for Hathaway's acclaimed debut LP, Everything Is Everything, which was released in early 1970. In 1971, he released his eponymous second album and recorded a duet with former Howard classmate Roberta Flack, covering James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend." It was a significant hit, reaching the Top Ten on the R&B charts, and sparked a full album of duets, Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, which was released in 1972. The soft, romantic ballad "Where Is the Love?" topped the R&B charts, went Top Five on the pop side, and won a Grammy, and the accompanying album went gold. Also in 1972, Hathaway branched out into soundtrack work, recording the theme song for the TV series Maude and scoring the film Come Back Charleston Blue. However, in the midst of his blossoming success, he was also battling severe bouts of depression, which occasionally required him to be hospitalized. His mood swings also affected his partnership with Flack, which began to crumble in 1973. Hathaway released one more album that year, the ambitious Extension of a Man, and then retreated from the spotlight; over the next few years, he performed only in small clubs. In 1977, Hathaway patched things up with Flack and temporarily left the hospital to record another duet, "The Closer I Get to You," for her Blue Lights in the Basement album. The song was a smash, becoming the pair's second R&B number one in 1978, and also climbing to number two on the pop charts. Sessions for a second album of duets were underway when, on January 13, 1979, Hathaway was found dead on the sidewalk below the 15th-floor window of his room in New York's Essex House. The glass had been neatly removed from the window, and there were no signs of struggle, leading investigators to rule Hathaway's death a suicide; his friends were mystified, considering that his career had just started to pick up again, and Flack was devastated. Roberta Flack Featuring Donny Hathaway was released in 1980, and both of the completed duets -- "Back Together Again" and "You Are My Heaven" -- became posthumous hits. In 1990, Hathaway's daughter Lalah launched a solo career. ~ Steve Huey

Unfortunately I didn't hear your set Trev but from the bits I heard from some of the others there was some cracking stuff played, especially Cliff and Frazer Dunn. Fraser played a superb unissued track by the Carstairs but I forgot what it was c'mon Frazer, help me out if you're reading

I take it by money you mean lots of it???? Why??? Plenty of good cheap soul out there! Known, unknown and not played anywhere

Well if you follow sales lists, e-bay do your homework etc you can make your own judgement on how hard anythinig is

Yoiu don't have to use all the sales talk and over sell, including reserves, good hard to find records will sell themselves

There is also the Intentions on Blue Light and Moneytown (also Intensions). The Carpets on Moneytown (I Just Can't Win) is a Blue Light production and the Intenstions on Moneytown is a differnt version) same group???

It came to me years ago from someone who did some work for Dennis along with a couple of unissued tracks, will see if I can dig them out.

and in the meantime if you aspire to be a DJ find out which muppet you are... WHICH MUPPET ARE YOU

Which one of these have you seen masquerading as a DJ......

Have seen the Parisians couple of times @ £500 over the last year. Everyone seems to want a copy so maybe £1000 not so far off the mark if it came up for auction. Mick H definately got it as he played it at Lifeline, was stood with him and can remember talking about it.

Personally think nighters on a Friday have had their day. Apart from Wilton all the Friday ones I go to usually suffer poor attendances. Work(getting home etc and work on the Saturday), babysitters, good night the foillowing night, whatever, always seems to be one reason or another why??

That'll be same weekend as 100 Club? Two nighters in London same weekend??? Not very good planning IMO.

Played during the first hour too...or was it the second hour? Paul Sadot any roads

At the end of the day they are all in open competition against each other, none want to fail! Whats a little bit different, 5 Royales twice instead of three times. Unless offering someting totally different it's hardly giving the punters a choice, neither is it putting them first IMO

Just posted a soundfile in media/sounds which contains about a minute of each release to give you an idea of the difference......

Don't think I've ever seen one credited to Harry "Starr" HAve you got it Billy, got a scan when your lad doing nowt

I did think it was for the Lp but was just checking

What for the U.S. 45?
