Wilxy

Very Sad news, RIP Sir.....

I'm quite sure, that I have that title you've scanned Richard but it's actually credited to Kay-zia, and also has the Pittsburgh address stuck on it

Is this label the same as the reputed Detroit tag , but allegedly produced elsewhere????

I wouldn't mind any of the legit ones

I totally agree with Terry's take on this topic, and furthermore whilst I have no gripe with any "sub-genre" as such, whilst I'm game to new on the ears, I get bored with one hour sets of Funk, Latin or Popcorn, etc, the odd item sounds great.....but I like what I like, as does each and every participant I suppose

TBH you and your young compatriots are the ones who will ensure longevity of a pretty unique "scene", no two ways about it

PM'd you Phil.

Quality info Neil.....Respect wilxy

IMHO the finest example of blue eyed soul is Those Lonely nights by the Soul Communicaters on Fee Bee, with Chuck Corby as lead singer.....Stunning record, and oh so Soulful

I've always thought of Dancing as personal rather than exhibitional ......(moreover because I'm below average at best ) However during my best efforts over the years, there are many tunes that have drawn me to the floor and filled my soul with a natural high, infact too many to mention.....Nowadays I tend to throw a few more shapes indoors, rather than when out, due to becoming more of a chinstroker and my liking for viewing vinyl ....I still get the hairs on the back of the neck standing up, when treading the carpet in front of my record deck however, and today during my weekly Detroit foray found myself going mental to Mikki Farrow-Set my heart at ease, amongst several other Pied Piper masterpieces and their ilk.....

RIP Sir...

I can't honestly say I've heard either side before, but I must say, was very impressed with both,and will be actively searching for a copy......

Al Kent-The way you've been acting lately,Ric-Tic

Coincidentally, was listening to a few 45's on headphones this afternoon to save over indulging neighbours,and I can assure you, Levi Stubbs will always be the Dogz, Gone yet still Immortal .....sorry to diversify....just becomes almost personal on headphones...".do what you gotta do":lol:

FFS, and there was me thinkin' it was two of the DJ's

Can only concur with Kev's initial statement, since first purchasing the Kent (Ady's)" Detroit Dancers"(compilations), I've obtained many of the vinyl pieces obviously that are actually available, and have become "hooked" on most of Dave Hamiltons associated "output", and having recently added his Latest Detroit Soul compilation for my pleasure, sought out a couple more "shiny silver" items on Ace which are whilst yet unplayed, are the Detroit City Groove, and Detroit Funk compilations, and I'm quite certain one of the motorway systems will be sharing some soundbites of the Great mans genius in due course Respect to Ady in particular for the opportunity of gleaning eartime

I didn't really get to know Gabby til late on.....but what a Diamond the guy was.....RIP fella

Novel footage Billy, Thanks for posting!

I can't even think of selling up, i still have a huge wants list

More sad news, yet another Detroit stalwart gone....sleep well Sir.

I've been quoted the fact that "youngsters don't wish to infiltrate their parents scene" so to speak on numerous occasions, and agree in the main, that the younger generation, whilst maybe influenced to a degree in our superb musical ethos,will put their own slant on it all in due course! My youngest son is big into his music, and whilst at 24 years of age has a "grounding into the real deal" nowadays "gives his take" on the London "Boogie/retro disco" scene.....and still loves his vinyl.....amongst CD's and downloads...... Can't stop his pocket money any more tho' .....he earns more than me

Apart from "my front room", I am limited by shiftwork to limit my "listening" time, and "throwing a few shapes" nowadays is as rare as a totally good night out! The only split in the"rare" soul scene observed in my tenure as a 37 year participant is an individual taste from a musical perspective....I go where I want....and listen to likewise! The rest is opinion...

So Sean, are you changing your avatar to the b----t-rds.....or sticking to the fishmongers?

Whilst I never got down to Abshot....I have many great memories of the superb Newbury niters of which I was a fairly regular attendee....Happy times! PS.Hope you're keeping well Russ

That is indeed the plan Joan......A long day and night planned :yes:
