I've got a , weekender booking penciled in , for next year playing this stuff at a famous Northern Seaside town !
ps Very good points from Jbrew , on this style of oldies( and the global scene) !! Power to the Wah wah and disco drum effects man
Ahh I thought he did , thanks for that!! , she certainly had some power ,but I never saw her live , so cant comment . She was ok on her recordings and I did enjoy Invisible!
Yes I agree Steve ..Very nice pop with double cheese to go ! Did Richard Searling play Alison Moyet " invisible " ( great song by Lamont D ) on the radio once or twice ?
Oscar Perry , what a great vocalist . This was played by both Keb and Guy at various niters in the 80's , and quite popular with their gang .
PS . Has Adey C found that tape yet !! ?
Yes sometimes Tone I drink with my not so soulful mates in these places (Therefore I can assure you Pop/Northern is Cheesy man )!! Everyone seems to be having a laugh at these venues and I did hear Fatback and Frank Wilson at one last year .
All fair points especially from John Manship. ( I was brought up on early 80's allniters like 100 club, Leicester ,Notts Rock City and Stafford and missed Wigans real impact ) But Vali and Anka are not for me and they are certainly played at Cheese clubs in 2006 (being played at Cheese clubs pubs defines cheese in my book LOL) . As for white vocalists check Angel Rissoff one of my favorites' from 2004 ! " Why me" is just pure soul IMHO !
Plus check "Breakout "

Mr Dunmore( a good friend in the 80's ) was getting into his Soulful house by then . I know a few of us gave up the scene and took a Holiday in Ibiza I think the many people new to the Modern soul scene around 88/ 89 were busy catching up with the thousands of 70's and 80's oldies that had already been played ,and seemed to ignore much of the new stuff !! Many of the London Soul DJ's bored me to tears around this period !
16 New Mexico - Let The Night Move - Decade (1980)
a great Northern/Modern dancer , from Nashville . slow intro , and nice femme vocals .
Steve G , what year was that Modern Soul and Pizza doo ?
