Here you go, someone must be cutting up old 'Blues and Soul's' and selling individual ads for 11 quid!!!! Free postage mind https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pete-Waterman-SAW-J-J-Barnes-live-Coventry-advert-1973-/350441549766?pt=UK_Music_Music_Memorabilia_LE&hash=item5197f1afc6#ht_2206wt_1344

come on Ady put me out of my misery - is it the same number?

Very sad. Great Mecca memories..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1qqTPN8sUo

Do you have the other release Steve - 'The Younger Brothers' ?

I thought it was strange - but did they use the cat no. twice then? Mines a demo BTW which is why I asked.

From the 'Boy Meets Girl' album.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeEbUnuLFIg

From 'Soulful Kinda Music, is this right? is it demo only? Mike Scepter 1279 - Oh Lord, What Are You Doing To Me / ? - 1964 (unissued, instead released on this number was The Younger Brothers with " Harmonica Lesson / Ya Gotta Believe Me") Mike

I know what you mean but I think it is a version of 'Nothing Can Stop Me' !

it always reminds me of Lennie Satin's 'Homebound' on FIP or is it the other way round ?

Thanks for sorting it out - great effort Chalky.

UK Stateside too. And an album of the same name. Great tune!

I'm sure you are - kerching

I don't understand, how do you know what type of Soul nights I attend? Also I thought your book 'In the final analysis this chart is derived from overall long term popularity' - in the 30 years or so you book covers i.e. 69-99 was Nosmo King more popular than anything Jackie Wilson recorded?

I'd be interested to know which DJs and Fans you asked who would nominate Nosmo King, Helen Shapiro, Gary Lewis or Muriel Day ahead of anything Jackie Wilson did. Certainly not many who contribute on this forum if the response to 'Artist Of The Week' is anything to go by.

one would do - surely he had one by 1999?

and not forgetting the 20+ Jackie Wilson tracks not one of which made the the top 500

....and there is no shortage of 'em on this forum

Well said Steve. The column you refer to was about Philadelphia soul which he was particulary fond of.

Yes Steve got mine from you. and yes right about the Sopranos - included on the soundtrack album too. I must say - I like it, I like R.L Burnside, I like most of the Fat possum stuff, I like Robert Cray and I like Blues. So for me it could be played out for any of those reasons just as long as it was not tampered with by some 'creative' DJ - +4 indeed !!

* - or was it Foolish Fool?

in the 'Best thing I've Heard all Year' lookback in this months Mojo, Johnny Marr reckons he's been going to a few Northern allnighters - The Palace in Manchester and a 'couple of good ones' at the Blackpool Winter Gardens where he heard the Contours 'Just A Little Misunderstanding'. it's all about the 'energy and feeling' apparently Not played it yet but the the cover cd is a specially commissioned CD cover of the Stones 'Sticky Fingers' album by Soul artists including Daptone artists sharon Jones and the likes of Lee Fields. and finally a good mention for Dave Rimmers's 'Soulful Kinda Music' web site in the 'Surf's Up' column.

First saw it mentioned back in 1974 in Ian Levine's Rare Soul column in Black Music magazine - the man was years ahead of anyone else!

The worst news - his playing on Howlin' Wolf's sides is the greatest - my favourite guitar solo ever - 1.40 ish in .. RIP Hubert reunited with the Mighty Wolf...
