Soul Shrews

Looks like a rare 'un Ken, where you been? And why aren't you on the marmite thread? Cheers Paco

Je vous enprie, a tout l"heur. Le Paco

And Norbert is German, I think? Really confused now, and still not learned anything more about the mysterious monsieur/herr deCoteaux!!!

It's pronounced in French! Bienvernue, Paco

Yeah, go along with that 100% sunnysoul. But why can't we find any info? A couple of Berts northern classics; Patty Young-"Head and Shoulders" Gloria Parker-"Best Thing For You Baby" And a couple of 70's; Sister Sledge-"Love Don't You Go Through No Changes In Me" Ace Spectrum-"Don't Send Nobody Else" Anybody? Purleees!

Sydney plays the fool

Yes and wasn't his sometime partner Tony "Champagne " Sylvester?

Any Soul Sourcers got any information about this fabulous writer/producer/arranger? Worked with Marlena Shaw and the Main Ingredient in the 70's to name but two, but I also believe he was involved with some rare/northern 60's as Norbert deCoteaux? Asking this partly as a favour for a non Soul Source friend, who asked Marlena Shaw about him at the Jazz Cafe a couple of years ago. Unfortunately she could only tell him how to pronounce deCoteaux correctly! Thanks in advance Paul Woosnam

Agree with Melba Moore, Cognac, Ami Stewart, and John Davis. Oh and Special Brew and diet pills!

Co written and produced by August Darnell. 'Ave you played the original 12 lately? FAST!!!

"'bout to blow my mind, 'bout to blow my mind, crazy! 'bout to blow my mind, ....."

Don't think the lyrics are very PC(politicaly correct) but I think they're great too, mate! Don't think it's too exspensive either. Cheers Paul Woosnam

Yes Syd.I think I sat next to you in the cinema in Spend a Penny Lane during their "crappy carsey Cannes " week in 1982. Didn't Lew play quite a decorative role, while Lou's was more functional? Cheers Paco

We'll see what we can do mate, busy time for us 'round then tho' Barbara Lewis live in Belgium, Frankfurt weekender coming up 'an we'll just be back from US holiday which could be a dear do. Still you never know, we sure know we wanna! Cheers P+M PS Did you read the Brussels reports on EMS?

Sorry Tone can't think of any right now, but is there any chance of you getting back on the Diane Jenkins thread? Cheers Paul

No one's scribbling on my records, or LP sleeves come to that, no way! I don"t care if your'e Jean Carne, no way! PS Good luck with the new venue Dave, good to see you've got Thierry from Brussels lined up, top bloke, great modern DJ Cheers Paul 'n' Mandy

Agree Them i think she's a great artist, not heard "Recycle" is this also on Creative Funk? Any one got a Creative Funk listing?

Steve, In the same Black Echoes with the ad for the Oak modern soul night(14-3-81) there's an ad for an all-nighter at Brum Locarno featuring northern,funk and upstairs "Soul Sam's 70's Scene" supported by Arthur Fenn. Seems strange to me that if Sam coined the phrase then why not to use it ? While the Shrewsbury collective were! Cheers Paul

No mention in the "soul harmony singles " book so that generally means a rare one. Happy hunting! Sound's wonderful Cheers Paul Woosnam
