Stevegods - Am not here to defend Mike or the SS team - however some years ago I went into a number about something that looking back could be viewed as offence to some people - for that I got an official SS warning - since then I’ve bitten my lip many times reference some of the comments people make on here always usually touching on political views - never on Soul related items - so I just don’t bother to get involved in that topic, mainly to keep my blood pressure down - as I view SS as a great means to support and discuss Northern Soul.

I praise the people who demonstrated peacefully today in London - however watching lowlife morons and cowards attacking the Police damaging property smashing glass with horses around - do not serve a purpose of what ever cause these people represent or are trying to put forward !!

1967 - B side classic / old wheel sound and sometimes Mr M’s top tune Some background In the UK, however, "I'll Pick a Rose" became a hit after it reached the number 10 in early 1969, thanks to its popularity from the Northern soul scene. Motown dug into its vaults for tracks to create an album for the British market, I'll Pick a Rose for My Rose, released by Tamla Motown in 1969, which contained many of Johnson's songs recorded since he had signed there in the mid-1960s, including "Why Do You Want to Let Me Go", "I'm Not a Plaything" and "I Miss You Baby (How I Miss You)". The latter was also reissued as a single by Tamla Motown and was a hit in Britain, reaching number 25 on the UK charts in November 1969.[6] He also toured the UK with Martha Reeves. Johnson continued singing into the 1990s, releasing a solo album on the London-based Motorcity Records label, owned by Northern soul DJ and Motown lover Ian Levine. Johnson was one of the first and, according to Levine, one of "the most loyal and the most grateful" of all the former Motown artists he recorded.[8] Two singles were released, "By Hook or by Crook" in 1988 and "Run Like a Rabbit" in 1989.

The Normandy landings were the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of German-occupied France (and later western Europe) and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.

3 years ago on 3rd June 2017, a terrorist vehicle-ramming and stabbing took place in London, England. A van was deliberately driven into pedestrians on London Bridge before crashing on the south bank of the River Thames. Its three occupants then ran to the nearby Borough Market area and began stabbing people in and around restaurants and pubs. The attackers were Islamists inspired by Islamic State(ISIS).[8] They were shot dead by City of London Police officers and were found to be wearing fake explosive vests.[9] Eight people were killed and 48 were injured, including members of the public and four unarmed police officers who attempted to stop the assailants. All Lives Matter
