See Pete it's all subjective & I also liked all those tunes, specially to dance my little socks off to, seems people are scared of being ridiculed by playing some tunes considered passe and uncool or not Soulful enough, I just remember them as my youth. Spot. p.s. That Lola Falana was some fox & Rocky was Mr Cool with a capital C.

Bring back the Cherry People, Poppies, Keith, Five & a Penny, The Spy, The Present,Brian Hyland,Rain, Gary Lewis etc , we loved them so . Spot.

Great photo Pete, he looks like he's keeping an eye out for that Nobby Stiles fella who body checked him in the 1966 semi-final to stop him getting through to score, good old Nobby. Spot.

Sorry Guy's never realised that but what a bummer for one of the Al's, you learn something everyday eh!! Spot.

If truth be told 99% of us loved it at the time & danced our little socks off to it, anytime,any place, I know I did but hind sights a wonderful thing & we now realise it was a poor pop tune with great dance beat & Daddies little helpers made it sound even better. I don't think it becoming mainstream had an effect as there are a lot that became mainstream, like Dobie Gray etc & in my opinion they are still valid tunes worth hearing today btw Show & Tell, Touch & Go, Now I know what love is, plus the superb Help Me, are definitely his better sounds. Take care, be safe & remember," Now I know what love is", Spot.

True Kev but I remember it being massive along with Men from Uncle, Cherry People & Gary Lewis, it's amazing what those little night time helpers made you dance to & remember EVERYONE was your bestest mate in the world after talking bo**ox to them for 10 minutes , young, foolish but fun & don't forget Rain featuring Charity Brown. Spot.

A wind up I believe sent to Russ Winstanley as a cover up, only played for a very short time indeed, then people found out it was Tony Blackburn off some sh*te LP. Spot.

Well seems like 6 muppets have bid on it,doh!!!! Spot.

Untrue, I've lived in Goole most of my life & I'm sure I'd have remembered him, now maybe when Frank & Soul Sam etc brought the NS Roadshow to Goole he hitched a lift, even then I'd still remember him, now Martin Koppell he lived in Airmyn village, Goole before heading out to Canada btw Martin you still owe me £12 for that Salvadores Green Boot you tried to palm me off with.

Sorry, thought it was to easy, should have read all the thread properly, sorry lazy, long night,thick head. Spot.

I may have missed this but isn't Northernsoulrecords.com Andy Dyson? Spot.

Right everyone, just off the phone with Stef who informs me that Squire Rivers has settled in for the night & is on the mend, he shall be held captive till Wednesday it seems, so if you live nearby & know Dave bob in & listen to him moaning, apparently all the wires,needles & cable ties are stopping him getting comfy & he's considering a train home, were I shall be waiting for my full refund of £2 car parking monies & Kings Hall half night tickets, as we spent it circumnavigating Stoke and also avoiding the night creatures of Emergency room drunks & psychos, all joking aside he's feeling loads better & I'll ensure he knows your all thinking about him & wishing him well, btw if you see him smoking after this please give him a bo**ocking, a good one. Paramedic Pete. Ambulance 2571423567391567. p.s. It was the best spot I've heard him play in yonks, he'll do owt to get out of lugging his record boxes back to the car the sly old sod.

Very true Sian, I was stating a fact, I didn't say it was right or wrong, just that at present the vast majority of punters aren't interested and some never were and I wouldn't travel a 100 miles plus to your venue everytime it's on I was in the majority. Take care, be safe & remember," I come from a land down under, where women roar and men thunder", Spot.

Problem is Barry it's getting harder & harder to find a Thoroughbred these days but I say each to their own, what pleases one disgusts another & with KR you know exactly what your getting before you hand over the cash, at Stoke you can see DE's boots clearly up on the screen (Yes we go to Stoke, closes thing to Wigan & we love it) is anyone bothered? Only about 0.01% the rest are to busy dancing & don't give a sh*t, anyway it'll all be over in a few years when it's not the new black anymore & Tv & films have lost interest & the great unwashed are sick of reliving their youth. Take care, be safe & remember," It's good news week, Doctors finding many ways, of wrapping brains on metal trays, to keep us from the heat,to keep us from the heat", Spot.
