I remember him from gigs in Manchester around early 80's early days jumping on stage with every soul or blues act who'd let him - I can think of Ben E King, Bobby Womack and the Womacks themselves off the top of my head - there was certainly more. He certainly was buying soul records all around the place even pre-Red in his Frantic Elevators days - he used to buy 45's off me at Manchester Piccadilly Fair at the time - he's the only person I've sold to that actually asked me for a receipt to give to his record company or accountant or whatever. He certainly is a fan - doesn't make the gruesome idea of him doing a Bland tribute any more palatable tho' John PS Perhaps Bobby himself might turn up, join him on stage and show him how it's done.

Thanks for reply John

There was a fake Little Anthony and the Imperials group in the UK back in the Roy Tempest days. I saw them at Sheffield City Hall in early 1968 with the Flirtations - a night put on by Pete Stringfellow in the aftermath of the Sheffield Mojo closure. They're the one fake group who toured I saw that I've never ever found out who they were. They were very good as I remember - they did do Gonna Fix you Good. John

We've now gotta spare one PM if still interested John
