It's 2/3rds down the page. But I've pasted in. RARE Kansas City Funk n Soul Big ups to my man DJ SuperWolf aka James Trotter a native of Miami, Fl who came to KC via New York and never left. All my knowledge of KC soul music comes from him. The first cut is hands down one of my fav funk/soul cuts ever. The Curtis Liggins Indication "What It Is" became a Northern Soul staple, in the mid-west mr. Liggins and his Indication were a regional success touring and releasing a handfull of singles and preparing a full length when a car accident cut the stars life short. This cut and Liggins vocal stylings owe worlds to another Curtis, Mr. Mayfield that is. But the bubbling bass in the background and the driving drums keep the pulse rollicking and keep the listner smiling and dancing. God Bless this track.

I know people who really rate this but I'm afraid it doesn't do it for me. Some more info here. https://ozgood.typepad.com/a_damn_shame/music/index.html under the RARE Kansas City Funk n Soul section. Mick

Hi Mark, I've had the pleasure of seeing you DJ and listening to your show. From my perspective I don't think you have any need to swallow humble pie. I've just found its so refreshing to see people getting together and supporing a worthwhile cause. This is what makes the scene. I'll donate or support a venue. The venue option (full credit to Jo) just makes so much sense to me. Whatever route we go down I'm still convinced you will remain on air. Cheers

More support the better! I'm now convinced this will work out after reading all the other posts. I'll see you in September if not before. Tabs

Hi Gary, IMO there are merits for both types of funding but donations could be variable and a few months down the line the same situation could exist. Now little-stevie has offered a venue free of charge the revenue could secure the longer term. Just my thoughts. Are you going to Stoke next Saturday? I could be persuaded to buy you a pint

I think Jo's idea is bang on. If we can't get 100 + to support a venue for something like this we might as well all give up. The appeal to me is we can raise a lot of money in one hit which secures the longer term. And when it's successful it could be an annual event to ensure the Soul Shack never closes!!

But no relation to The Jackson 5 Also forgot to add Aretha and Erma Franklin.

I was going to say that Curtis Mayfield, Otis Redding and Percy Sledge spring immediately to my mind.

Nice tune, actually on Mayfield records. A strong Motown influence to say the least.

Jimmy Mack - My world is on fire

Curtis Mayfield, due to the broad spectrum he covered. From love songs to political protest. A true genius.

Mr Garvey, no G at the end of my name! Touch wood I'm fine, still an 18 year old.....................trapped in a 50 yo body. Good to hear from you as well. The old boys must get together again. If you are visiting the town give us a ring or e-mail. With a bit of luck our paths will cross at some venue or another. I'll PM you with my details. Take it steady old chap. Tabs

And I remember how I used to look after you there as well!! Long time no see. Hows it going Gary. I know you have had some time in hospital so hope all is well. Cheers Tabs

And 2 more.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Another IMHO that needs some turntable action, a lot more of a stomper but still needs re-activating. The_Charmaines___Eternally.mp3

How could we all forget - a GOOD shout.

Russell Thompkins of Stylistics fame. Any of their records really but always had a soft spot for Betcha by Golly Wow.

One I haven't heard played out recently is Len Jewell - All my good loving. Len_Jewell___All_My_Good_Lovin___Is_Going_To_Waste_.mp3

I actually got a reply:- "What Is Escrow? I don't think we have it here in Australia. I mainly would use Western Union or bank deposit. They are the best here. Thanks." After re reading the auction his preferred payment is "Overseas Buyers: Bank Deposit / Western Union Transfer / Cash in Registered Envelope." That probably says it all.

A new E-bay member and zero feedback, I'd be suspicious. I'll e-mail him asking if he would use an escrow service. I'll post up the reply, if I get one.
