Nice stuff. Peter

Do I get a prize? Well done Mike and everyone - and me! Peter

Interesting thread for sure. Surprised that no one has said whether they like it or not - I guess it's more of a high brow thread than that. I like it - I think it's a very credible and soulful take. Peter

Me straight jacket must still be round me ankle Dave - I don't know about that stuff, just the well known chart stuff which still had a bit of soul. In hindsight when I first started out I was definitely shackled up - didn't listen to anything which wasn't soul. Probably right through to the 90's - missed loads of stuff. But hey ho - I'm still discovering loads of soul music which is new to me. Everyday - so I don't feel hard done by.

Noooooo! Peter

Moi - northern soul straight jacket? Not me Dave! Just been googling them and could see the Hall and Oates connection. Yep, they were churning out some decent stuff in the early 80's too. "I can't go for that" rings a bell from memory.

Cheers Simon It appears that James was originally the key board player and then became the lead singer when the band reorganised themselves. Peter

He's a hippie! I'm assuming that this particular James Walsh Gypsy Band is the American rock band? There is also a different British group of the same name. Although looking at the discography that isn't apparent. Peter

It's a record I've always liked - always struck me as an odd un but I don't know why. Who, is, James Walsh? Did he do anything else of note? Peter

That's fair enough. But, the soul scene has had it's fair share of crooks over the years - some seriously crooked ones at that. Peter

Is this it half a job? Peter

Err, a link perhaps?

Some interesting posts.......................... Kettle black and all that jazz, err soul. Peter

Thanks Rich. Top of the evening to you Sir. Peter

Don't know too much about 12's apart from the well known stuff. I used to like this though. Teena Marie - Portuguese Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7MJXRIqU7E Peter

I'm having a dance to this bugger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHaBZsAyhGE Peter

Ay up mate. Yep, you're right - I don't think half of what has been posted is necessarily disco - I did ask the question! I guess the ones I posted I posted because of their release date - and just an excuse to air some nice records. Peter

PM'd yer Dave Peter

Atlantic Starr - Circles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqtQhnAzr7g Is this disco? What the fcuk is disco? It's disco-ish. This was a big un for a while. Peter

You could probably weigh in this weeks copper and get that Bearsy. Peter

Mm, not sure about the disco tag necessarily, good soul dance music in my view. Here's one I got slated for on here recently. Annis - Don't Play Your Games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6ETmNqUUF8 Peter

Great record Rob. Good luck mate. Peter

Nice. Peter
