Bill Medley - had a go at this on ebay but was outbid, ended up $56 plus $13 post. Great tune though, top of my wants list if you happen to see another for sale. The one on ebay sounded a touch distorted so I wasn't massively disappointed, would rather have a mint one

Like that a lot, great harmonies - reminds me of Capitols 'Tired running from you' (Karen) which I hammered a few years ago and had forgotten about:-

lol judging by some of the youtube clips of soul nights that get posted up you might well finish a few off Nice to be thought of as young BTW, I am pushing 50

You should open with it next time you play out Martyn - imagine the reaction

Funny you should mention Lulu, I really like this one, Johnny Harris Orchestra 'Lulu's Theme' (Warner Bros) - the swinging sixties or what!

Enjoyed that, thanks - my kind of blue eyed soul Came across this similar one on an IL podcast too, managed to find a cheap copy from the US after a bit of searching. Won't be everyone's cup of tea but I really like it, Michael Allen 'It doesn't matter anymore' (MGM)

Just out of interest where was the event near Belvoir Castle? I just live down the road

So many - love Steve Mancha 'He talked a hole' or Deon Jackson 'Someday the sun will shine', Just Bros 'Go on and laugh', or Butch's acetate of Jean Wells 'With my love and what you've got'. Marvin Gaye unissued 'Sweet thing' another one of his

Slowing the pace down a touch (!) just dug this one out of the cupboard, The Elgins 'You found yourself another fool' (Valiant)

Very nice that Martyn - great mover, just on the right side of fast

Hi Dave, That is a funny one - I was all set to say someone must have mistakenly posted up the 6 minute mix as Tom Moulton when it's actually just the Paul Simpson one, and in fact the first half as far as I can see is identical. However having listened to both all the way through the second half has a different organ break, and the youtube clip finishes with no vocals, where the CD Paul Simpson mix has vocals right to the end. I'm intrigued now as well, particularly as the mix on youtube is a good one Cheers, Chris.

Hi Dave, Not sure what you want to know but both mixes from a 2005 CD 'Philly Steps'. The short version a Paul Simpson mix I think, Tom Moulton the longer one. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Philly-Steps/release/8314308 or download on Apple, etc I love the Barbara Mason mixes, really taken a great song and done something new and different with it IMO Cheers, Chris.

Worth another look at this - awesome

Bought 'Can You Feel It' LP ages ago for 'Take a Stand' but hadn't appreciated all the other top tunes from it posted up here - Amazing Love, Rare so Rare, Just got to be myself - will be digging it out for another play 'Take a Stand' an absolute blinder for me. Remember seeing it on Allanton playlists from late 80's - bet it sounded good there. Don't recall ever hearing it out myself.

Cheers Martyn, can see you spinning that More hard to find than rare I think, cost me £20 from JM a few years back

Nice start to the day with this one - Fontella Bass 'Honey Bee' (Bobbin)

Know what you mean - just a bit loose I think, reminds me of Claude Huey 'Drifting' or Ozz & Sperlings 'Qualify', maybe not in that class but a cool tune all the same

Also a fave oldie of the moment, Freddie McCoy 'Soul Yogi' on Prestige

Some great stuff going on here still - not posted for a while so a couple from me today. First up a recent discovery for me but one you old lags will probably know, the superb Frankie and The Damons - Bad Woman (Damons)

Why is it so rare? Well known label, Van McCoy,etc

Great stuff Martyn, love that
