Hahahaha... just look at our last played tracks! It's a sign! Anyway, moving on, I hope that all those attending report back regarding the seminar as I'll be very interested to learn what went forth

I know one thing; I'd give 'The Gladiator' one!

Thanks for clearing that up Ernie; I read it as being a 'mine's bigger than yours' kind of thing Good luck with your presentation; I really enjoy reading/seeing/hearing about what the Roman's did (I wonder why they didn't continue to be so forward with their inventions and way of life etc?).

I am Are you trying to belittle the university and subject matter of this topic?

Just received a message from Donzella Berry aka Nella Dodds Donzella Berry October 26 at 9:02pm Report I'm so sorry to hear that Weldon passed away. He was a great guy. We had so much fun in the studio and on stage. He stayed in touch. Lately I hadn't heard from him. I will surely miss him

this sounds great.......will they then be having reunions and selling badges..........why not wait til we're all dead before analysing the f**k out of this scene.........then they can get it all wrong without any comeback.............we all know it,s because of our deprived backgrounds and just a release from the daily grind working in the mill or pie factory

any chance of setting a fruit & veg stall up? and will you be in stocks ?

Think you have captured the memories we have of Weldon brilliantly in that post Dave-you certainly have a way with words!! 'Tis true that the tale telling from the 'Red Lobster' will live with Kev for always.....he certainly relates it to me often enough and I was there!!! RIP Weldon. Bev & Kev P

RIP big man I remember that Philly video on here recently & Weldon was talking & sharing his thoughts & memories, he stopped to wipe the sweat from his brow & said " i don`t want to shine on you folks" & beamed the biggest, warmest smile. The term legend is over used ....................... not in this gentleman's case Sad sad loss

You can't expect such a post to get the same response as Weldon's passing, it's a completely different thing. I didn't see your posting anyway. But it's fair to say that many people are busy and probably assumed others had responded, it's not always a case of not being bothered. Many posts on soulsource get overlooked.

EDDIE FLOYD is thrilled with the reactions to "Missing You" on Shotgun Records, he'll be here in the UK next week...

For those who want details, Weldon's prostate cancer had returned and had spread to his stomach. He had been in remission for years.

Jason, that sums up the way I feel today... guilty that I didn't return every call or enquire more often as to how he was doing, putting things off until another day. I think it's a natural reaction when someone dies. Time is very precious so we should all try to make a little more time for our friends and even try to forgive our enemies. Tomorrow may be too late.

Even at age 74 Weldon was still very sharp, very hip and always funny. His memory was excellent, full of fascinating stories from the golden days. He was "rich" in the sense that he had an interesting and exciting life and he made an awful lot of friends. Now he's at peace and he won't be forgotten.

What sad news. Meeting Weldon at Hitsville in Orlando with the rest of the Harton team was incredible and humbling. He was a true gentleman, a fantastic raconteur of the many experiences of his life and was so excited to sit around and chat. (I especially enjoyed his story about keeping Edwin Starr and Blinky Williams apart in a limo) Dave, I am sure you are very sad as I know you spent many hours on the phone and in this great mans company. Rest In Peace Weldon McDougal III your legacy and memory will be cherished

From Soulful Detroit Forum STEVE CALDWELL (THE ORLONS) Just called me with the news. Rest in piece my friend CEASAR THE ORIGINAL TYMES

I couldn't get hold of Weldon recently, he lives alone so there wasn't anyone to tell me anything. I assume he was in the hospital. Weldon was 74 and he'd had some health issues but had recovered and was doing pretty good. I'll try calling some of his friends to find out what happened.
