Craig Strongman 13 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I read about Steve Bookstein one time and I remember his connection with Ian Levine and that band.I know quite a few things 'off the top of my head'. Respekk! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Strongman 13 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Maybe you should set the next question! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Nah, your questions are very good. Somebody would only right-click on one of mine anyway. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 OK Stu, and thanks for the compliment! Right then team.........in 1965, a songwriter/producer cut a record, he hated his voice on it, and asked the boss man not to release it, bossman granted his wishes, and it didnt get released....then, can you name the singer and the song? Sorry i cant give you any more clues yet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'll have a stab at this one. It's the obvious answer but is it Frank Wilson and Do I Love you (Indeed I Do)? I know Wilson had 250 demo copies released before asking them to be scrapped. As every Northern fan knows, two copies survived (one in the possession of your pal, Kev Roberts at one time). At least if this is incorrect it gave the opportunity to talk about one of my very favourite tunes of all time. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How did you know about Kev owning a copy?................Being the suspicious sort, thats the sort of info t'internet searching would throw up! I think some harder questions need to be set!

Craig Strongman 13 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Heres one that should baffle even Stu!..............................Which soul singer spilt his can of coke all over the mixing desk as i interviewed him on Radio Trent? Ha ha ha .....try that one Stu old chum! !laughing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How did you know about Kev owning a copy?................Being the suspicious sort, thats the sort of info t'internet searching would throw up! I think some harder questions need to be set! I have a few mates from Wigan days, Craig. One of those guys used to talk about Kev owning it and carrying it around in a special case he had for it. I also read it in a book somewhere too I think. I reckon the story of Frank Wilson and that record is legendary - one that most people who know or have read anything about Northern Soul will be aware of. It IS all over the Internet but that's not where I originally know about it from. PS Your questions ARE very hard! You just hit me on a good one there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Strongman 13 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Edwin Starr! lol. Sorry Stu, you are wrong (for once!!) but a very good , logical guess, fact is i only ever met Edwin in '66 at The Dungeon Club. I apologise for being suspicious, but the way you went straight to the correct answer, brilliant! OK, a clue, his initials are included in a certain brand of car...............the same brand i drove for 15 odd years! http://www.websmileys.com/s And why is the smiley at the end of the last sentence, not the one i selected?......i chose the looking over the spectacles one!

.... 23 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Okay, I'm focusing on his initial being within a car marque that is also made up of initials... And I'm thinking BMW... or TVR maybe? Am I on the Right Track (as Billy Butler would say)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
