A few personal observations, you know. Thread of the Year It's got to be the "Ian Levine SWONS/Mecca" one for the sheer number of posts and views. My own favourite was the "Stafford tunes" in the Media section from March of this year, hugely illuminating for somebody who never went. Spat of the Year - Joint Award The running sore that was the Levine versus Trouble verbal punch up, which appears to still have some life left in, based on recent posts.Compelling viewing at times, but ultimately very tiresome. Beeks versus...... well just about anybody and everybody at one point or another. (Did he really want to get it on with Bully Boy - the very same Ian Bulloch, who in a previous life was a professional cruiserweight boxer, who slugged it out with Johhny Nelson,albeit briefly). The folly of youth,eh? Post of the Year "That's shite" -Pete Smith, from 2 January, 12, January, 18 January, 21 January, 1 February, 6 February, 12 February, 18 February, 22 February,1 March, 4 March...................................12 December Thread Flops of the Year "Seminal moments - Can you remember where you were when you heard......" "Fantasy Duets - Who would you like to have heard duet with say, Linda Jones or Walter Jackson...." "Darrell Banks - I'm the one who loves you, info please" All put up by my me and receiving the sum total of NIL replies. Bastards! The Samuel K Amphong "What the f**k is that all about" award To the numerous threads and posts put up by Barry, which for half of them, I still can't understand (No offence, Barry) Media poster of the year Got to be Baz A. The enthusiasm for the sounds put up by Baz is so heartening and he reckons he's got another 3000 or so to put up. Bring it on, Baz! Special mention also to Gazman, Les F, Chalky, Ken, Ian Nicol for the significant number of varied and obscure tracks posted by them that continues to make Refosoul an unparalled library of soul sounds. Special thanks To the moderators and Mike Hughes in particular for maintaining the site and ensuring that I and many others have a welcome diversion from an often humdrum and boring job.

Anyone? Somebody must have some info about this momentus piece of music, surely

"I'm the one who loves you" Anybody able to pin point when this first started to get turntable action and by whom. Ta much.

What exactly is it that you are looking for as a response? I'm not taking the piss, just that I don't know what you want.

"Give in, you just can't win" is from the album "You're all I need" "We'll be satisfied" is previously unreleased and appears on "The complete duets" CD.

It's ok, Godz, I got it, but many wont have a clue what it's about. Was it a NME thing? Supposedly Danny Baker?

Sebastian, R & B Indies has Bell 649 as Salena Jones.

No listing for International City 729 in R & B Indies. Now that you point it out the unknown listing for "The sheriff" could be the release on Whurley Burley.

R & B Indies has Shagg 801 - "The fat man/Unknown" There is also a listing in the International City discography without a number shown as : "The sheriff/Unknown"

967 Bob Marshall & the Crystals - "She's got a hole in my soul/Never seen a girl like her" 968 Bob Marshall & the Crystals - "You got me crying/I'm going to pay you back" 62068 Charlie McClenon & the Magnificents - "Put me down easy/Need love" 62069 Charlie McClenon & the Magnificents - "We're gonna hate ourselves in the morning/Thing is it(instrumental) 22770 Bob Marshall & the Crystals - "Gimme some lovin'/Gimme some lovin(instrumental)"

I've never liked "Interplay" because I hate, what I assume, is the harpsichord instrumentation that runs through it. But it's Northern because it was played as such and definitely got dance floor reaction, which is the prime motive, is it not? There are much better instrumentals, though.

Fabulous uplifting record. One of the many stand out tracks from Honky's wonderful CD's. Can we expect another serving?

From 1969. Issued as a single on Motown 1159. Originally done by Jimmy Ruffin. There are also versions by the Temptations and Undisputed Truth

"Baby I miss you" LP only? Absolutely awesome track. Can somebody put it up in Refosoul, please

I think the cyrogenically frozen head of Tony Rounce, would be all that would be needed Are you up for it, Tone? (Not yet,mind)

I would have thought by now somebody would have suggested the greatest ever instrumental, which in my opinion is.... "Exus Trek" And whilst I am it, what about... "Rat race" "Festival time" "6 by 6"

I think I know what you mean about the messy aspects, but it is a fantastically atmospheric track, perfect for a banging all nighter. Pure adrenalin.

"Unwanted love" is the flip to "Beggin' is hard to do" - Paula 375

There is a Boogie Kings track covered up as Eddie and Ernie but I can't listen to the one that Mike has posted to see if it's the same.

Garland Green (born Garfield Green Jr., June 14, 1942 in Dunleith, Mississippi) is an American soul singer and pianist. He was the tenth child of eleven born in his family, and lived in Mississippi until 1958 when he moved to Chicago. While working and attending Englewood High there, he sang on weekends, and one day while singing in a pool room, he was overheard by Argia B. Collins, a local owner of a bar-b-que chain. Collins agreed to bankroll Green's attendance at the Chicago Conservatory of Music, where Green studied voice and piano, and played in local bars and clubs. In 1967, Green won a local talent show at a club called the Trocadero. His prize was a gig opening for Lou Rawls and Earl Hines at the prestigious Sutherland Lounge. In the audience was Mel Collins, and his wife Joshie Jo Armstead, who was a songwriter who had written tunes with Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson prior to the couple joining Motown. The couple arranged for Green to do a recording session in Detroit and released the result as a single on their label, Gamma Records, a terrific song called "Girl I Need You." The song sold well locally and was picked up by MCA Records subsidiary, Revue Records for national distribution. Revue released three further singles from Green who then moved to MCA's main label, Uni Records. In 1969, "Jealous Kind of Fella" became a major national success, reaching the pop Top 20, #5 in the Billboard R&B chart and #2 in the Cashbox soul chart. Uni released a full-length LP from Green, but the follow-up single did not sell well and Green eventually left MCA, also parting company with Armstead. He then signed with Atlantic Records subsidiary, Cotillion Records, which released five singles from Garland, but only one proved a real success, "Plain and Simple Girl". Produced and arranged by Donny Hathaway, this also reached the R&B Top 20, but no album was forthcoming. Fellow Chicago singer Syl Johnson is listed as producer, but in reality he was the executive producer, his role being that he placed the record with Cotillion and got Garland a contract. Moving on to Spring Records in 1973, Green recorded five more singles, some of which charted modestly, notably "Let the Good Times Roll" (not the Shirley and Lee song) and "Bumpin' and Stompin'." Arguably his finest recording on the label, "Just What The Doctor Ordered", remained unissued (until 1990 when it was included on a compilation of his Spring singles on UK label, Ace/Kent). A move then to RCA Records resulted in three singles and an LP, produced by Los Angeles producer/singer Leon Haywood. Although a solid effort with good vocals from Green, there was no notable chart action. In 1979, Green moved to California, and eventually signed with a small independent label, Ocean-Front Records for an album produced by Lamont Dozier and Arleen Schesel, Ocean Front's A&R rep (who Green would later marry). The album featured a re-worked version of a major hit for Dozier 10 years earlier, "Trying To Hold On To My Woman". When the label closed, Green continued to record and self-release.
