The production sounds a lot like something Phil Spector would have been very proud of, right down to the sax break .....

Lester Jr of The Zapp Band told me last night that they are coming to London, Paris and Strasbourg this November. If you haven't seen Zapp, I will tell you that they are in my opinion the best touring funk act/ live act performing anywhere. I have seen them several times and they NEVER disappoint. Don't miss 'em!!!! Legends.

London UNDER THE BRIDGE November 3rd

Paris November 4th Trabendo

Strasbourg November 9th Espace Django

Due for release on 21st September according to Amazon is an "Essential Motown Northern Soul" box set. Available for pre-order but no track list as yet.

Probably will be a re-hash as Spectrum seem fond of Motown Northern Soul sets, issuing them on a regular basis (so presumably they must sell enough). In the recent past they've done "Motown Northern Soul" and "Motown Floorshakers" collections.

Two songs, with more than a few similarities, were released in July, 1965:
“Danger Heartbreak Dead Ahead” by the Marvelettes and “You’ve Been In Love Too Long” by Martha & The Vandellas. Both were written by Hunter, Paul and Stevenson and produced by them. Both have somber themes. Both of them did pretty well on Billboard R&B (#11 and #25, respectively) but less so on Billboard Pop (#61 and #36). What if the artists had been switched with each doing the other’s song? Do you think their chartings would have been significantly different? I’ve always thought they were great recordings which should have done much better than they did.

Hello All,

This is my first time here and I hope you all are fine.

I was wondering if any of you guys could help me with Aretha's lyrics.

I am despertely need lyrics for 3 songs: "Pretender", "Giving in" ['Get it right' album] and "I wanna make it up to you" ['Jump to it' album].

Unfortunately the lyrics are not available anywhere in the web and the album do not have lyrics sleeve either. I have loooked for them everythere:(

I tried to transcript them but there are some part I am not able to work words out. I will post it below and if anyone could help out I would be very greatful.

With Best Wishes,

Kamil :)
