If an instrumental could ever pull at my heartstrings it would be this one, Junior blows his heart out, wonder what it would be like with a vocal , just a magic tune I've always loved

One more from me before this thread dies a slow natural death, some great live versions of this on the old tube where Corey's voice really lets rip,

Great tune , Phillipe Wynne has such a beautiful voice, top tune on a top thread

There seems to be so many parts of the lyric in this that I'm sure many will identify with, love is indeed Fire and Ice

Must have missed this post, just posted the Latimore version ,always liked OV's voice ,wasn't aware his version before, good stuff

Couple or three versions of this,

Gladys Knight circa 72 Odeon Cinema Manchester, you could cut the atmosphere with the proverbial before she came on, I swear the roof lifted at the opening of Just Walk in my shoes, Heaven came later stood before Gladys as she signed my programme, hangs to this day framed on my bedroom wall.

I realise this is probably a hanging offence but I have alway preferred Donnie Elberts version

yes talking of flip sides....... https://youtu.be/WGx_n60jN7Q

Could be any one from dozens from from Irma ,these two have always done it for me https://youtu.be/tt0HiCHSWj0

Two Eddies, has Eddie Kendricks voice ever sounded like it could snap at any given moment. https://youtu.be/3ULL1QpkRRw

Am I right in thinking for some reason they changed the running order of the tracks on the cd's, have them somewhere after foolishly giving away the albums to a mate ,?

Jimmy Armstrong-I Wont See It you posted some great tunes here Chief but this ones a belter,....

I'm an occasional clapper and think it adds to the overall atmosphere of a night, brings a feeling of togetherness.One memory that has stayed with me for many a year is the reaction of the members of Tavares at the Ritz All Dayer when they were singing Don't Take Away The Music and the whole room raised its collective arms and clapped in perfect unison, something of a stunned double take.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall seeing Rockie Robins at the Miners with another artist as support, can anyone confirm this and who was the support, please tell me I didn't dream it.Came across my Burnley and Pendle membership card the other day,is it still valid?

If you are after Northern the After Hours CD' s are pretty good 1,2,and 3, or you can now get all three in a box set on Amazon for 14 quid, lots of stuff out there, beware of re recordings on some of the cheaper box sets available

Just searched and sorry it was the Preston Cyber Men in the thread in may

Wasn't there a thread a couple of months ago that detailed their names and exploits, might have been contained in another thread, might be wrong

Very hard to imagine what direction Otis would have taken I think. Dock of the Bay was a little different to a lot of his output in its feel , his performance at Monterey introduced him to a whole new audience and maybe that would have taken him away from his roots into a more mainstream pop culture, we'll never know but great question ,I look forward to reading others thoughts.

I guess it depends what you want from a night, if you want to dance a good Dj fills the dancefloor, a great Dj keeps it full, for me it's unpredictability that makes a great Dj as i'm just as happy listening to great music as I am dancing to it so if I can come away from a night with three things in my mind, not heard that in ages, never heard that before and a few tunes noted for future listening then I'm happy. On the use of the mike it depends on the Dj, a clear and enthusiastic voice can add to the atmosphere, incoherrent babling just annoys me , is it just me or do Dj's in general never seem to tell you the artist and title of the one record in the night you don't know and really like?

Sounds like she is competing with the awful orchestration and that bleedin rimshot or whatever it is that bangs away constantly in the background is very annoying, cannot fault her voice though

Great thread mate, I've always wondered too,

On the You Tube page under the video click on "share" , url comes up in blue,right click and copy, paste into message on here,

Hi Lorriane, I only mentioned the poetry bit because that is one of my interests and I found this many years ago whilst searching you tube for poetry videos and it became my introduction to Slam which with the passage of time has become popular over here and spawned another form Flash fiction. Very interesting to read you observation and first hand expereince . I must admit it had never occured to me that he might not have written it, I'll have to research that some more, got to say I would be disappointed if he hadn't ,but it would not be the end of the world it's still a fabulous piece of writing which deserves to be heard by more people,for me it has stood the test of time which all good writing should.
