Hi Lionel its artists who have not copy versions and it’s about who you think would’ve done good versions if they had? Mick L

Happy New Year to Mike and the source team and every body on here, We might not agree most of the time, but that’s what makes the world go round, but when we do its well worth it. Just Remember this year if you like what your doing keep on doing it If you don’t stop doing it Good Luck and Best Wishes to Everybody Mick L

Hi Tempest Not those who have made copy versions, those who you think could have done a decent try at the originals ML

Just a bit of trivia, keeping it simple who do you think could have done a good copy of an original Soul recording, just two artists and tunes each please, I’m a believer that originals as a rule btw are always the best, I will start things off. Tom Jones vocals on the Great Chuck Jackson song ( Hand it Over) Levi Stubbs vocals on ( Al Kent the way you’ve been acting lately) just a curious bit of fun ML

NS and any kind of music will last as long as people want to listen to it , as to what format that is in the future remains to be seen, nothing lasts forever sadly so I say live for today enjoy it while you still can, nobody can take your memories away they will last as long you do. And that’s all you can do ML

Hi Roburt Fantastic Artist and performer and Elvis Presley, s favourite singer along with Roy Hamilton, a bit of Trivia, in a scene in Girls Girls Girls movie where Elvis is singing (Return to Sender ) in a night club , Jackie is in the Audience. ML

Hi Mal Same with the Soul Sisters too many to mention and like the Soul brothers a hell of a lot who never got the recognition they deserved, I salute both the brothers and sisters they helped too make my life a lot happier, God knows what we would have done without them! ML

Far too many to mention and too good to be forgotten ML

Here,s another Geno Washington n his ram jam band ( If this is Love ) Mick L

Yes Dave Clarke Five were absolutely massive in America on par with the Beatles, they had a bigger sound using the sax more and a bigger bass line which the American audience seemed to love and of Course Mike Smith on Vocals was a strong presence ML

Good Post I started to watch the big acts of the day in early 1964 there was various tours over the next 3 years or so usually at the local ABC cinemas, there might be 5 or 6 acts on usually 4 British and maybe 2 American acts , Even at the age of 13 I was aware that the American acts were better has a rule than most of ours , there were exceptions of course but not many, eg Charlie and Inez fox second from bottom on bill the acts that followed couldn’t really follow them and they were a n thing at the time , anther what comes to mind was Gene Pitney, everybody that followed him was on a loser, the class of the American artists shone through every time, ML

Here,s Another Gene Chandler ( Check Yourself ) Mick L

Georgie Fame ( Sweet Thing) Tammy Terrell( This old heart of Mine) Wilson Picket ( She,s Looking Good) Mick L

Jackie Wilson Who Who Song You showed me how to be happy Mick L

Hi Bobby Your Grandad was lovely man not a bad bone in his body loved his music loved his friends and was well respected for being such a nice guy, he was somebody that you always felt happy with when you seen him at a venue, I’m sorry for your loss and all your family,s loss , he will be sorely missed and always remembered, keep Strong through this sad Time Mick L

Emperors new clothes springs to mind, but if you like it you like it, it’s just to my ears I can think of hundreds of records more intriguing and appealing and exciting and haunting and better that cost a mili fraction of that tune, it just never made me jump out of the starting blocks or want to and that’s my leveller with Soul music, no offence meant to those who love it, if it does it for you it does it for you good luck with it ML
