Steve S 60

Jackie Wilson "The Who Who Song".....you need fast feet to stay on the beat.

He's looked after himself if he can still fit into it.

The Yum Yums - "Gonna Be A Big Thing"

The Supremes - "He's All I Got" is a firm favourite with the girlies.

I know it was the 70's, but didn't you feel a little bit self conscious dressed in a bright orange polyester suit.

Was The Wrong Side Of Town video filmed in Ian Levine's back garden? https://youtu.be/UIlEiPU5PWQ "There's Four Vandals in next door's back garden". "Don't worry Missus, we'll send a car round straight away".

To be honest, I turned it off shortly after the bit about the film. It's certainly not going to fill the gap left by Jazz FM.

No 15 in the Pop Charts, No 3 in the R & B Charts.

Totally agree with you Dave. The collaboration brought him to a lot more people's attention and certainly did his career no harm. It's actually an interesting story on how the collaboration came about. U2 were in the audience at one of BB's concerts in Dublin, and they met up backstage. When they said they were fans, BB asked Bono to think of him sometime when he was writing a song, and WLCTT was the result. I think the recording came out of mutual admiration. Might be a good topic for a new thread, soul artists who have benefitted from collaborations with pop / rock artists.

Depends on what you term reality, Dave. BB King is certainly acknowledged on the single and album track, he appeared on stage with U2 performing the hit, he appeared with U2 on the music video (which incidentally won the MTV Video Music Award for best video from a film in 1989), and more tellingly, he continued to perform the song at his own concerts long after U2 had dropped it from their live performances. On the back of this he went on to record an album with Eric Clapton, and launched a chain of night clubs in the States. I've walked past the one in Orlando. Don't know if any of his contemporaries consider that he has 'sold out', but a hit is a hit, whether it's a collaboration or not.

It'll be the latter, I suspect Dave, U2 supposedly being the biggest band in the world at one time.

BB King had a pop hit when he recorded "When Love Comes To Town" with U2.

I think Levine was "Skating On Thin Ice" with this, which incidentally is the title of another dodgy Levine production. Let's hope "You Reap What You Sow", Mr Levine, which incidentally is yet another Levine production. I wonder where he gets his song writing inspiration from?

Probably trying to keep their carbon footprint low.

The main thing to come out of the programme was the free preview screening of the film as part of the 6 Music festival in Manchester. Stuart Maconie did mention he would be interviewing Elaine Constantine on the night.

Free tickets to preview screening..... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03nj164/profiles/northernsoul

News about the film on BBC 6 Music today, Tuesday the 11th of February , on the Radcliffe and Maconie show between 1-4pm.

Here's a recent interview with our Lisa about the album, from a couple of months ago..... https://youtu.be/7GPEdkRw_1M

Soul Royalty, Kev.

Smokey certainly takes some beating....here's another - The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage..... https://youtu.be/kPG6LsEFTKA And how about this duet with Aretha.....Ooo Baby Baby..... https://youtu.be/Xy75z0trlDk

Lisa's new album is called Seven. Boring, I know. Must be her seventh album or something.

It Keeps Rainin' - Fats Domino.....it's supposed to be a sad song but it always puts a smile on my face.

There's a film about it......Point Break.

Great story. Being told to insure it for $20k would have made the guy's day.

Just a query, but do the Distance Selling Regulations cover the purchase of records over the internet? Apologies if this is in the wrong thread, but I thought it might be relevant, as it's something that has only become prominent with the advent of e-commerce, and will certainly affect any collector starting out.
