Afn American Forces Network
American forces network popped into my head today for some reason, so I searched Mixcloud and found this amazingly clear recording, broadcast from Frankfurt in May 1972. A bit of everything from 60's and 70's and worth listening to until the end, with the ads and news about president Nixon Highly likely that I listened to it at the time on my little transistor. Enjoy Kev

70s LP tracks.
Been a while since I've been on here, but this 70's album topic is great. Zulema often has her "Wanna be Where you are" track played and as a shorter single version, but this one is sheer magic. Margie Joseph does a great version of this but The Originals just edges it for me. In fact, every track is a winner on this album! Surprised this doesn't come up much on playlists

Always thought this would have gone down well on the northern scene

The Teskey Brothers
My daughter introduced me to this group from Melbourne and I have to admit this guys voice is the closest thing I've heard to Otis Redding's voice. Anyway, they are on in Manchester at the Gorilla on 26th January 2020 announced yesterday. Well worth a visit

Gloria Barnes Uptown orginal lp
It was always an album track, but whoever is behind Jo_Mar did this too. Not sure why anyone would want to boot this! Are there anymore tracks on this label?

Gloria Barnes Uptown orginal lp
How's this for a curved ball 😀 I bought this a few years back ......just in case. Someone did say it was legit, but not sure about that. Anyway, I've always thought it was Gloria on vocals and the Ohio Players' are featured on her album so it would seem safe to make 2+2 = 4. When you listen to the vocals it definitely sounds like her.

Only just seen this thread. I've had my copy since 1974 and I expected it to go for more than that on JM's auction site. Depends on who sees it at the time I suppose. Popsike shows them fetching £1000 + in 2014. Do you think the value has gone down with the re-issue and cd coming out? I would sell mine but I'd want more than JM got for it Kev- Mellow Grooves & Slow Burners

Thanks to Chalky and everyone else who helped me out with making a set and uploading it. My first attempt and a mix of 60's and 70's. Although I can't seem to paste the link. https://www.mixcloud.com/kevin-horsewood/soothers-movers/- The best media software for recording a dj set
Thanks Chalky, I have an HDD Yamaha CDR-HD 1300E and a single Technics deck, so record onto that. Then transfer them onto my pc/laptop, using windows. The quality is great. So I just need to drag and drop my mp3's into a program that can create a podcast/playlist and record it. Thanks Kev- The best media software for recording a dj set
I want to make my own dj set and record it for uploading and home use using the mp3's that I have made from my vinyl. Any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated Kev- Instrumentals of 1974
This took me years to find out what it was. Then some kind soul on here enlightened me. Same backing track as The Detroit Emeralds Played at Wigan in 74' and covered up as the New York Strings I think. Kev- earliest youth club memories
The 66 Club in West Kirby 1969/70 - Don't know if anyone on here ever went. Boogaloo Party - Flamingos Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White Holy Cow - Lee Dorsey Pucker Up Buttercup - Jnr Walker Come See About Me - Jnr Walker Reaching for Something - Marvelettes I'll Turn to Stone - Four Tops Don't Tell Your Mama - Eddie Floyd 7 Days Too Long - Chuck Wood Na Na He Hey - Steam Happy - William Bell Played pretty much every new soul release as they came out at least once and depending on popularity many times more Kev- If the term northern soul had not come about ?
This was from early 70's. I went to The Raven at Whitchurch to see Soul Sam and this was run by Tony Petherbridge. Don't think he is with us anymore. Never really liked the Northern soul tag.- Your Ten Top P.I.R. favorite titles...?

Totally Agree. I've raved about this for years. The flip of Hot Pants (above) Kev- Lamont Dozier UK Tour 2018
I've put a request in for him to do at least one track from his Invictus/ABC/Warners era. I don't have his contact details, but I have a mate who does. I had the once in a lifetime pleasure to meet him and talk to him and watch him work with Terri Walker in the studio, here in the UK, back in September 2004. A day I will never forget. Watching him write songs in an A4 exercise book and joining in the vocals, doing it all on the hoof so to speak. Then going out for dinner afterwards, asking him all sorts of questions . So much happened I had to write it all down, so I didn't forget. The few tracks that he wrote and produced for her remain in the can, so who knows what would have become of her career had they been released. She was a lovely lady and has a great voice. This is a good sample of her revamping Al Green's "Never found a girl", Me with Lamont and Terri- Denise LaSalle R I P
One of my favourite artists first introduced to me by Sgt Milt Kemp on AFN Radio with this track which will always be my favourite. RIP - Gloria Barnes Uptown orginal lp
