Strange Artists
Lena was one of the last artists signed to the label,shows what state the business must have been in to have made a decision like that.I wonder if Hughie Green was still on a percentage of her earnings at that time?

Les Mcgann - Sad Little Girl
York main man Ronnie Pedley had that album first and was probably first to air it at a venue,maybe a little longer than 10 years back.It quickly went massive and the clamour to find the album began,just as it did with Jimmy Cobb...but thats another story.

Most Soulful Record
Sam Dees"whats it gonna be",for me the best soul song ever,with the best opening line,superb production,need i say more?.My top rare soul track to hear at a venue is Emory and the dynamics"things that a lady aint supposed to do",harmonies,beats,breaks,all the right ingredients,and rarity too,so it wont be done to death
