I remember rushing out to find a copy of "I found a Goodie" when heard Mike Raven give it it's first and probably only spin on it's UK Bell 45 release.
I also remember sometime later being in Soul City & Dave Godin asked me what artists I liked as it was proving tough to get some money out of me. I saw
the Chris Bartley LP and said that I actually had his "I found A Goodie" and loved it. Well, that was it because Dave told me it was one of his favourite
LP's so i coughed up £3 (a third of my take home pay each week!) and took it home smuggling it into my parents house in case they asked how much i'd
spent.
I was a confirmed Van McCoy & Chris Bartley fan from then on and my favourites are nearly everything he recorded..A & B sides but one track that always
blows me away from the LP is "My Baby" .
Another thing that stuck in my mind about Chris was the story that he had put aside his career at one stage to nurse his Mother when she became ill.
So, yes , it is Job well done & done with Soulfulness. RIP Chris
