Soul Shrews

The reason I started this thread was after reading this letter in a Black Music magazine from 1975. It was written by a soul fan from San Francisco and I have no idea how he obtained this info Anyone heard of this or can confirm ? Cheers Paul

I know The Dells backed some Barbara Lewis Atlantic 45s. Also The Parliaments sang back up for Tamala Lewis "You Won"t Say Nothing." I also remember Dean Courtney telling Richard Searling on his JazzFM show that Valerie Simpson, Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston were on "Back Up " duty for "Love You Just Can"t Walk Away" Just interested of any more. Cheers Paul

I think that just for the amount of sound s he discovered that he probably was good for the scene. Cheers Paul

Of course he wrote and produced some fine music before he changed his name. Such as Bobby Freeman "I"ll Never Fall In Love Again" RIP Sylvester Stewart.

I was hoping for more revelations as to finding/discovering some of these Northern Classics. Enjoyed it but no news really. Maybe in Pt 2 ? Cheers Paul

Yes its back, thanks Cheers Paul

I've not read this whole thread so excuse me if it"s already been mentioned but I" m missing the "Back To The Top" arrow on threads. Cheers Paul

We all miss Tim KenB. Talked about him a lot on Friday. Of course he was a regular guest at The Hideaway Regards Paul

Thanks Kev, we look forward to welcoming you behind the decks again. Cheers Paul

Think you should pull out Alfie Davidson as that could be an auction item. Cheers Paul

Another fine artist gone. I can only echo the posts above. Would like to add to his tributes the wonderful unreleased version of the Ashford/Simpson song "I Had A Love" Thank you for the music Mr Edwards. Regards Paul

Thanks Mick Boyle Cheers Paul

What was the condition of Judy Freeman ? Cheers Paul

Remember him DJing @ 100 club back in the 80s, Seemed to be enjoying himself behind the decks there. "There's only one of these " as an introduction to his next spin. Paul

Oh no more awful news. YBGTL was one of my favourite's when I started out. Seeing her perform it live @ Baltic Soul w/ender 30+ years later was goose pimple time. Of course not just a 1 song artist her Sound Stage 7 LPs essential Soul music. Paul

Hi Valentina, I have a 12" to sell. If you don"t find a 45. Cheers Paul (Kippers mate)

Supremes "Stoned Love" longer version is also on a regular Motown promo. Cheers Paul

Indeed as @Valentina said earlier a true giant of Soul music. We have lovely memories of seeing him perform many times at Blues Alley in DC Regards Paul & Mandy

A lovely man who we met on his many visits to Amsterdam. Always had time for everyone. Condolence's to you and of course to Barbara. Regards Paul & Mandy

Condolences Geoff, Indeed we are losing too many now, regards Paul

Yes way too young. Timmy had been undergoing cancer treatment for some time, Paul

Heard the awful news early this afternoon that Timmy has died Long time Soul Source member as Tlscapitol. Timmy was an ace collecter/DJ/dealer and a wealth of Soulful information . A dear friend of ours since the late 90s, he will be sorely missed Regards Paul Woosnam
