Is there a member of The Precisions still around who might remember the song from that era and share any details about it? Worth a shot...

Manchester's Room at The Top returns in February 2025! We're pleased to announce our two guest DJs: Eddie Wainwright and our very own Ethan Howarth! Joining them are Aimee Turner and Jake Rusty Rigby. Plus, Connor White and Myself, all spinning an across-the-board mix of '60s/'70s Northern Soul, rarer underplayed gems, funk, and lesser-played Motown. Of course... all from original vinyl. Expect a dimly lit wooden dance floor, an incredible sound system, limited seating, and a sweat-soaked atmosphere. Ticket link coming soon!

BACK FOR RATT #7 For those who haven’t yet experienced the buzz, we’re nestled in Manchester’s Northern Quarter at AATMA—a raw, unpolished venue with an authentic old-school underground vibe. Inspired by the gritty, dimly lit clubs of the '60s and '70s, AATMA features minimal seating, low lighting, and a scorching-hot atmosphere! Expect a blend of classic Northern Soul, rare and underplayed tracks from the '60s and '70s, along with some exclusive, previously unreleased gems! All strictly played on original vinyl. GUEST DJs: EDDIE WAINWRIGHT & ETHAN HOWARTH RESIDENT DJs: JORDAN WILSON & CONNOR WHITE TICKETS COMING SOON! Location: 14-16 Faraday St, Manchester M1 1BE (Just behind the Hula Bar & Peer Hat. Look out for our signage to guide you.) Parking: Port Street Central Car Park 75 Port St, Manchester M1 2EG (Only a 5-minute walk to the venue.)

I just spoke with Cholly's friend again. She's planning to give him a call about this thread to see if he can do any further asking around. Wasn't it previously suggested that it might possibly be 'Jimmy Soul Clark'?

A few years ago, while working with MD Records and conducting Pioneer Studio research, I made a serious effort to delve into "Jimmy Mack" and "In The Pocket Music." The "In The Pocket" team, comprising Mike Valvano, Marty Coleman, and Cholly Bassoline, who frequently used Pioneer Studio for their demos, and Mike Valvano would use their piano. Of this songwriting trio, only Cholly Bassoline is still alive. He later became the manager of Parliament-Funkadelic, though he maintains a low profile and is only occasionally active on Facebook. I managed to get in touch with a female friend of his who worked with him in 2021 at a furniture store in Phillipsburg, NJ. (Yes, he’s still working!) She kindly passed along some messages to Cholly, but unfortunately, he wasn’t able to shed any light on Jimmy Mack’s real identity. Cholly did share some insights about his late colleagues. He said how Marty Coleman tragically died after being hit by a car on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, and how Mike Valvano passed away from a heart attack. He also mentioned that the Palmer Label was owned by Arc-Jay Kay Record Distributors, which was run by John Kaplan. According to his friend, Cholly now lives "under the radar" and doesn’t have much more to share on the subject, nor does he remember the real identity of "Jimmy Mack"...
