Where did I say that ?

When you ask the question "where next, musically ?" to a forum such as this, you are inevitably going to get answers that are historically influenced. The majority of those questioned have a musical intolerance to anything that doesn't match their individual preference, comments such as , " you can't play reggae at a soul do", "no latin", "don't want funk played at a northern do" " I will never like Crossover" etc, etc! perfectly exemplify the point. When I first got involved with "Soul" music, aged 15 in 1969, the phrase "Northern Soul" hadn't been invented, "Crossover" meant getting to the other side of the road, and both, Ska /Reggae were played quite regularly at Soul events. The obsession that the "UK" scene has with labelling all the sub genres is, in my opinion what will eventually fracture it beyond repair. At the moment the recognized (as we know it) soul scene is treading water, it can't move forward because of the attitude "we want, what we want" and "were going to moan if I don't get it" , and it can't go back to how it was, because "that's not how life works" (unfortunately we only get one chance at being young) The European , and certain UK (not as we know them) soul events, are attended by mainly younger 25/35 year olds without "historic baggage" and nothing to prove, their primary objective is to have a good night out, whether its,Funk, Northern, Latin, R&B or Jazz that's on the playlist it doesn't really matter. So !!! Where Next ?..............stop taking it so seriously............... ditch the labels,get back to "SOUL MUSIC"................ smile, tap your toes and, if it really floats your boat missus............ have a dance !!!

Ian had the record nicked and it took him a while to get it back but it was never covered up. Actually, around this time late 71 early 72 I don't recall any record being covered up. Unless you were one of the elite few who could afford the trip to the USA you couldn't get hold of any of the records anyway.

Sorry, I forgot Leeds are the best team in super league as...................................................................... 16 wins ( or to put it correctly 11 losses) in 27 league games in 2012 proves. Then again I think that WILLIE MITCHELL's - "THE CHAMPION" is the NUMBER ONE northern instro ever, and "Afternoon on't Whino" would always be the FIFTH, now there's another (cryptic) thread...............................lets have a heated debate !!!

Very surprised that LEEDS RLFC (LEEDS RHINOS) have never adopted this as the club anthem. Awfull record for an awfull rugby team !!!!

When Tony Jebb played this at the Mecca, I'm pretty sure he told me that it was on German motown. Also, and this deffinitley isn't myth....... when he had finished playing it for the very first time, he (T J) said "thats so good it needs playing again " picked up the arm and dropped it back into the run in groove for a second spin. I can honestly say that I never saw this done by any Dj with any other record before or since that night. I am told (i wasn't there) that Keb once played Darrell Banks ? about four or five times on the bounce at stafford, but that this was done to p*** off the oldies only brigade that were giving him a hard time. Maybe this deserves a thread of its own if it aint already been done?
