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 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

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

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
