Sad news. She was great ! RIP

This is a such shocker God bless Sharon Jones

superb ,absolute class. Shorty

just been down to the Band on the Wall [ Manchester ] and bagged nine tickets , ive seen Kindred a few times , but not Trina Broussard , relly looking forward to it. shorty

didn't know it was out of Detroit, great record though. love it shorty

It was getting played at some of the Modern Soul events a good couple of years before that I think from memory. Don't remember it before that though. big at the same time as Constellations "I Don't Know About You", always think of them together for some reason. The other side [P.O.W.] is good as well isn't it ? Huge favourite of Tats Taylor I recall……Hi Tats

spot on mate shorty

yep mine too Mark, missed the postman on Saturday . just been down to collect it now . will be playing - never be another you at the u.k charity soul gig at Leeds rhinos on Saturday. incidentally weren't you sporting a jacket like Lee Fields at the recent Soul Underground. only joking mate a great night ,enjoyed it shorty

god I love this forum, thank for the heads up on that mate , gonna be all over that like a rash as they say. what a double header. shorty

wow thats a great double header , have always looked upon London as the land of milk and honey going back over the years before computers became household de rigueur . Blues and Soul and Echoes seemed to be full of mouth watering acts coming over to the capitol but often not up north . shorty

not massively advertised, all at the band on the wall . think the Leroy Hutson was switched to the Ritz but didn't happen anyway, fingers crossed for Lee, eh.

yeah, funny place Manchester at the moment . lot of quality gigs half full or cancelled due to not enough sales. couldn't believe Leroy Hutson got cancelled with the valentine brothers in support , Leon Ware half full , kindred the family soul not exactly rammed, hope Lee gets the support he deserves shorty

I see he's on in Manchester in January . got to try to make that. love to see him live. shorty

So excited about this - my CD's on preorder and I'm hoping it arrives soon. My absolute favourite soul artist right now.

superb review Brian , never be another you seems to be standout track as you say ,any idea if it will make it to 45 . plenty of quality on the album as well . another great year for soul music . shorty

Cracking read, thankyou! Interesting points about DJs I'm sure they will love being referred to as 'intellectuals'... Interesting reference to 'Rust belt cities' too, not heard that one before! ps: you'll have to speed read it as the free book view runs out fairly quickly!

They did not like that locker room photo. Also they hated re-mixes. They gave their hearts and soul to an original song in the studio, to see it then bastardised in some form or other. They were old school. A song is a song - not something cut up and spun around. If OVO is to vinyl, they were OSO - original song only ha ha.

Very sad news indeed. Jimmy was lead singer longer with The Trammps than he was performing live with Double Exposure. It is he on the 'Hold back the night' with KWS in 1993! Double Exposure featured on a session I did with Bobby Eli in 2008. We released 'Soul Recession' as a result of that session and was pleased to be asked whether it could be also included on the 'Tom Moulton Philly re-grooved 3' double CD. It was of course and it featured adjacent to tracks that influenced me as a teenager in Hull to ultimately make me become a song writer. The best memory of the vocal overdub in the studio was Jimmys mobile phone going off in the middle of a great take. The ad libs he does are fabulous. They are not written down. He makes the song come alive with soul. It is such a shame no UK promoter brought them over here. They went back to performing because of our session. They thought nobody wanted them anymore until Bobby rang them about coming into the studio top record our co write with Chiquita Green. If you want to see them rehearsing in the studio to 'Soul Recession' before any vocals laid down, go here:- The Grooveyard studio Philly 2008 - Double Exposure/MFSB musicians

Finally got around to enjoying this LP thanks to Soul Source & Ace records keep up the good work.

One of my favourite acts. Funnily enough, I was just listening to their second album 'Tortured Soul' this morning.

Excellent album. His LOA Records have a great roster and I'm anticipating some excellent releases to come.

well done to all concerned great effort cheers mark

congratulations to all , wonderful effort. shorty

First Little Sonny and now Big Sonny !!! Another loss to the world of Philly soul !! "Love is just like a baseball game" "Check yourself" "a love that's real" "I'll always love my mama" What a group !! RIP Big Sonny

Great stuff lads! (oh and lasses!) Please no Lycra photos having said that, unless it's the lasses, mind you the lasses here might like some hunky men photos in Lycra... Seriously good effort everyone involved!
