Been on the lighter fuel again Sid? Cheers Paco

Cheers Paco PS Always suspected that but wasn"t quite sure

But is Alfie Davidson's real name Neil Sedaka? Cheers Paco

Forgot to mention her excellent work with the great Norman Conners "'Mother Of The Future"' "'Valentine Love" and my personal favourite ''Dindi"' Cheers Paul PS Mel do you have the MFSB LP "'Mysteries Of The World"'? Written produced and arranged for the most part by our man Dexter Wansel. If you like "'Life On Mars"' you should try this.

Yes Mel got that Lonnie Liston LP and quite a few others by Mr Smith. The Stanley Turrentine LP is called "La Place" (Blue Note 1989) Jean Carne features on a track called "Night Breeze". She also sings on a Universe track "Love Is Beautiful (When Its Right). Theres an excellant compilation LP/CD on Expansion from a few years ago called "Collaborations" which is just that, Jean Carne collaborations! Shes also featured on Juewett Bostick CD from 2002 (Its Not So Easy) and a Jazz Crusaders CD (Soul Axess) from 2004. Dexter Wansel brought a CD out a couple of years ago "Digital Groove World" I think you can listen to tracks still at cdbaby.com. The ''Life On Mars "LP oh yes!,,,,,I'm partiularly partial to :Rings Of Saturn" That Jean Carn is a classic LP too her first for Philly Int after her jazz LPs with ex husband Doug (Infant Eyes and Revelation on Back Jazz records). Cheers Paul

"It Happens Everytime"...........................RIP Barbara.

Yes it was Simon, I'll tell you a little tale 'bout how I heard the news sometime (would be amusing if the topic wasn"t so tragic). Gonna see Ora, his widow, next week in DC. Cheers Paul

Yes Mr Wansel was a member of Yellow Sunshine Mr er ........I mean Mel Cheers Paul

Recorded 1964 Tina records 102 flipside is "We Know" Don't know where you"ll find one tho, that s something we both 'don't know' Cheers Paul

Nice post Mr Rez, love reading these record hound tales. Cheers Paul

What a gosh darn great idea!!!!! Cheers Paul

Ken you're a star mate Cheers Paco

Yes they do and they dance to it very well too. To see a popcorn crowd getting down on the floor is truely a sight to be seen. Have been lucky enough to experience this a couple of times in Belgium in the last couple of years and have seen live Don Gardner, Baby Washington. and Barbara Lewis to boot. Cheers Paul

Yes and wasn't her live version of "Sweet And Wonderful" with the late great Nathan Heathman singing Glen Jones's part the business during her last tours? Cheers Paul

"Start The Fire" should go down well too Cheers Paco

Not in the US according to her discography in "In The Basement"no 27. I'm sure Simon will let us know if it got a UK release Nice track which I'd completely forgotten about (shame on me) thanks for posting it up Steve Cheers Paul

Sorry Steve can"t do sound clips, but I can tell you its on the "Jean Carn" LP her first Philly album. Cheers Paul
