Nice one Kitch. Just signed up for a regular listing. You may see me collecting again soon ?

I met him in London. Boy, what a privilege. One of The Revels (midnight stroll) too. I think he did stuff for Lee Andrews as well. He played me songs recorded in the late 50's off his laptop that had never been released. They were hits. Unbelievable. He told me his RCA Tymes stuff, the rhythm was recorded in New York, but strings and horns done in Philly, arranged by Richard Rome. It is he singing lead on Trustmaker. He was trying to get the group to sing like he wanted and he showed them, recorded it and he kept it on the track! He was the most complementary person, it was not always about him.

Sad, sad news R.I.P Billy a true Legend. We even met him a couple of times once in Blackpool and once in Philly on the Soultrip to New Jersey. Gone but not forgotten John

Sad news indeed. His delivery of 'Me and Mrs Jones' is so beautiful. rip

Bristol gig

RIP Leon Heywood

So sad to hear about the passing away of Biff, I hadnt seen him for a while but will never forget the top nites at the Birchfield (Widnes) Club were he entertained us for many years by playing top tunes and always had a smile on his face. So long my soul mate RIP, you will be sadly missed by all.

Very sad news i have known John since very early 70's from our visits to the Carlton club in Warrington with his best mate Pete Cogley .John was a top guy will be missed by everyone who knew him. RIP John

Without doubt one of the most instantly likeable man on the scene

Rip ,sincere condolences.

Didnt know the guy,but seen him fill the floor at the northern line with his top tunes,and judging by the comments i have read,i think i can say on behalf of every soulie his place is going to be hard to fill R,I,P MR NORTHERN SOUL,condolences to his family , Bert&maxine

Biff was very good company, a gentleman, a pillar of the soul community. John will be missed by all those who knew him, my sincere condolences to the family

It will be very sad news, if correct

And sadly Billy Jackson, who co wrote and produced some of his material is very ill too (the lead vocal on 'You little trustmaker' by The Tymes and member of The Revels). I guess this domain of our lives is seeing more and more of this. When I went over to Philly in 2003 with a couple of SoulfulDetroit.com chums, we were driving down a street with Bobby Eli and Weldon McDougall and they spotted Lee walking. We pulled over and met him. I never really knew about him until that moment. My two colleagues did, but I was no specialist then or now. 'Nevertheless', I know who he is now.

A soul legend RIP

Great Re-issue ! Following strongly in the footsteps of Wilson Williams - really looking to future releases from this quality label !!!

We're in love is a bomb too....RIP Gavin

Hello again. Of course in the headline it should be 'Brian Cannon' rather than 'Brain Cannon'. He is a clever fella though. Mods, if possible could you amend. Doh.
