You're welcome Dave. No Jack Russells were harmed in the making of this film.

Surprised there's not a Nicole Willis single in there. I assume she's still with the label.

My Sugar Baby - Connie Clark Nice little piano intro before the organ takes over.

My youngest lad has started to post up his photos from his recent visit to Canada, and this one really stood out....

Doubt it. Nite People were a late 60s psychedelic band who recorded on Fontana.

Real Humdinger - JJ Barnes Five notes, followed by a little tickle of the ivories.

Heard this one on the radio this morning, and as well as being a sublime record, it fits the bill for great piano intros. Wake Up Everybody - Harold Melvin....

Venice. Like I said, everyday's a school day on this site.

.Everyday is a school day on this site. I now know what a glissando is, and your example is one of the best known in popular music.

Here's one I hadn't heard for ages. The piano is battling for supremacy with the organ in the intro, before taking centre stage. They'll Be Coming - Sam Ambrose and Friend.....

Magic Touch - Melba Moore.

Jeanette - Wade Flemons No One Could Love You More - Gladys...

Everybody's probably heard the gospel piano intro from Sam Williams sampled on Crystal Waters' "Testify", or read the thread on here. It's certainly up there as one of the all time great piano intros. Plenty of other great piano intros. Off the top of my head.. Our Love Will Grow - The Showmen Cashing In - Voices of East Harlem ......but my all time favourite has got to be.... Strange Change - Herb Ward...

Basement Soul? Currently just under £150, so not Bargain Basement Soul then.

Baby Baby Don't Waste My Time - Gladys.

Harold Melvin - Get Out.

The Cave is all set up for tonight's screening.......

Spencers drying by an open fire, Leather trench coat hanging in the hall, Solatios shined and the vest is pressed, Merry Christmas one and all.

Here's a sunset shot from the top of Skiddaw taken by my youngest lad.....

Had to be the Plug Side.

Continuing the festive theme, which soul artists, past and present, would you have around for Christmas Dinner? I'd have Gladys and Aretha in the kitchen, the Reverend Al Green saying Grace, Otis Redding carving the turkey, Jackie Wilson organising the party games.

Sharon Jones - Ain't No Chimneys In The Projects....
