Mainly 'cos the forum's called Soul Source, hence maybe not the right forum for a white New York disco singer called D.C. Larue and a russian jazz musician called Miroslav Vituos. Whereas the Salsoul stuff I can totally see on Soul Source because there's little disputing that the artists are actually soulful aren't they? But, hey, I'm easy going....... I really don't mind. I personaly don't think Disco Tex and his Sexolettes get enough props LOL...... Ian D

First time I've ever heard Loleatta Holloway, Eddie Holman, Skip Mahoney and Moment Of Truth - all soul acts, described as rubbish on a Soul Forum........ D.C. Larue and Miroslav Vituos, great records though they are, are both white acts. Wrong forum perchance? Ian D

Nope, absolutely no facelift I swear - just down to some good genes - the only bloody thing I got from my parents LOL... However, the teeth are quite another matter although everything else appears to be in working order! Best, Ian

I don't think I'm exagerating when I say Roger Eagle was probably the single greatest influence on the growth of Soul music in the North of England. A true pioneer. I wish I'd met him..... Ian Dewhirst

I remember deejaying for Terry in the early 70's. Also did a great gig at the Cat's Whiskers in Leeds with Jnr Walker & The All-Stars which Terry promoted. Great memories - I've probably forgotten more then I can ever remember LOL.... Ian 'Frank' Dewhirst
