Arthur Noiel
Arthur Noiel - It’ll Make You Holler / She Don’t Love Me (Brownfield) weaker VG £300 + post from Denmark Brilliant and dead rare Texas soul! One side a hot big vocal uptempo dancer, flip it over for a classy piece of deep / lowrider soul. Autographed by Arthur (and perhaps the record’s original owner?) Lots of light marks and label wear, but plays strong and plenty DJ-worthy. Sound clips (not mine) for reference: https://youtu.be/IDG80zOoi6k?si=vDaMqFogp-yAtOax https://youtu.be/8Kzaz_OVrXI?si=1DbHWQYSg-2rFJn7

R I P Darondo
Sad to share the report of William Daron Pulliam, aka Darondo's passing. A true Bay Area Soul legend and one of the most unique voices in rare soul. http://www.spin.com/articles/darondo-cult-adored-san-francisco-soul-man-dead-at-67/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQXY4aFBJf0 added by site via wikipedia William Daron Pulliam, who performed in the 1970s under the name Darondo, was a funk and soul singer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Although he is not widely recognized today, serious enthusiasts of the soul genre consistently rate him in high regard. The mythology surrounding Darondo describes him as a pimp, although he has denied this claim. His performing name is said to have originated as a compliment from a waitress who was fond of his generous tipping habits. Darondo still lives in San Francisco and has received more attention in recent years thanks to London DJ Gilles Peterson playing his 1973 single, "Didn't I" on his BBC Radio 1 program. In 2007, Darondo's song "Didn't I" was covered by Jack Peñate on his Spit At Stars EP and in 2008, featured on an episode (season 1, episode 4) of Breaking Bad. "Didn't I" was also featured in the 2010 film Saint John of Las Vegas in a scene featuring Steve Buscemi. In 2009, the song "Legs" was featured in an episode (season 1, episode 8) of the American version of Life on Mars. In 2010, "Didn't I" was featured in the films Night Catches Us and Jack Goes Boating. It also appeared in the New Element video, Future Nature. Recordings of Darondo are available from Luv N Haight, an imprint label of Ubiquity Records. Other works can be purchased from Omnivore Recordings.
