Some very good points there indeed, but its his love of the green and his renowned irrational and unpredictable behaviour that for me add to the conspiracy that for a one off payment perhaps, he may have thought why not, like I said in my original post, there are too many examples in the delivery of Ruffin only traits that give it away. Great contributions so far , anyone else have any thoughts or insight on this. Kev

Cracking contribution, thanks for that, love these kind of stories, something really must have p----d Edwin there. Kev

Go to next post and see what you think, if this isn,t David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks then its Paul Whitehouse doing what he does best. Kev

Thanks for the feedback everyone, Kris,s last post there really makes me even more curious, the fact he was involved with them officially. Kev

This has to be Edwin Starr on lead vocals, anyone confirm, while we are on the subject, its not half bad IMHO Kev MP3 file removed by site, as per house rules

Great show, really enjoyed it, was the Dramatics-Your love was strange, a different take cos it sounded slightly shorter than the Volt 45 I have. well done lads Kev

Haven,t seen it yet Paul but defo trust your take on these things, sadly I reckon as you have stated that whenever the scene comes under the spotlight the incorrect perception is always displayed. So, it will carry on that, whenever you go to a birthday bash or an engagement do etc, and the DJ says "and now for some northern soul" and then proceeds to play "Nine times out of ten" and "3rd finger left hand", someone will turn to you and say "you are into all this stuff aren,t you", well we know where they are getting their assumptions from again. Kev

Anyone out there got Smokey Robinson "Here I go again" and "Baby Baby don,t cry" for sale Please PM If you can help Kev

In the brilliant comedy classic "Animal House" the group that play at the infamous Toga party are Otis Day and The Knights, one of the members is called Melvin Britt, I wonder ? Kev

Somebody buy the Jo Ann Garrett-One Woman-Duo, everybody goes on about Ella Woods and Ty Karim, great records I know but this is right up there, and all for £25 Kev

Never mind Sam Dees, what if little John Dees, one of the funniest things I have ever heard mate after John passed out as you stated. Kev

Phil Perry, formerly of the Montclairs was awesome at Prestatyn in 2004, his session in the Modern room on the saturday afternoon will stay with me forever, what a performer Kev

Happy New Year Brett, rarest I have I think is Nathan Williams-What Price-UA, have read conflicting opinions on which one is rarer, the UA or Lime, another one that I am curious about is The Voice Masters-Two Lovers-Frisco, not that well known, and I have never seen it in a sales box (maybe not looking hard enough) Got mine before the Internet and it took me 10 years to get one (tried prising Craig Butlers off him) Kev

Speaking in general terms really, the original post just prodded a nerve with regards to the Don Covay opinion that I have, wasn,t really focusing on the Elton John situation, just I can,t remember Rod Stewart coming on the mainstream thanking Bobby Womack for "Don,t you think I,m sexy" backing track which he took from "If you want my love", there are other examples, perhaps Elton was to be credited with championing soul music, but in general terms soul music has been exploited without enough specific credit being given back. In hindsight maybe should have kept away from the Elton situation. Kev

My mistake Felonious, thought I had read it a while ago, he was very ill from a stroke in 1992 and looked to be on the way out, I stand corrected, but am still of the opinion somebody went to the bank off the back of this great artist. Kev

Yeah, Miracle Woman, what a tune, the flip is on a different album from "Miracle", "Sooner" is on the "First Impressions" set and I am certain "Miracle" is from the "This is my country" set which also provides the impressive "Look what I got" all in all a great group. Kev

As my good friend Kirsty has already stated Just Soul was fantastic and in my opinion primed for legendary status, Yarmouth weren,t half good aswell, until a couple of years ago was a regular at Lifeline and have made a pact with my mate Mr Simon that we need to re-establish the attending, locally, The Coachman in Darlington is starting to create a buzz and gets my recommendation wholeheartedly. Kev

Somebody grab the Peggy Gaines, absolutely brilliant record Kev

Here, here, sound advice indeed Adam, I back that 100%, wouldn,t be without it. Kev

Yes, Pat did a marvellous job, us lads from the North East were regulars, like you say great venue with no pressure on the DJ,s which consequently lead to some great nights, the all-dayers were brill aswell. Kev
