Pat Petal 4 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yup Charlie, all their hits were on Direction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie 11 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well, that was the one though! The other, great unknown label - at least in my book - was Chess. Maybe it was THE great soul label. I say unknown because I think there's a lot of folk who just don't know how much stuff that they love came out on Chess and Cadet - Fontella, Etta, Jackie Ross, Billy Stewart.......................... My first ever Chess record - on the black label, which I still have was Pigmeat Markham's version of 'Here Comes the judge'! Possibly the first rap record ever and definitely loads better than the Motown version - Was it Shorty Long? Can't remember off-hand! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie 11 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have a few JJ but without checking, I think they're on President? Band of Gold! Chairman of the Board came into the penny one night after gigging at the big club down at the Vicky Centre - what was it called. Anyway they were OK guys! They spoke to me and I was just thrilled!

Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Charlie, It was indeed Shory Long on Motown doing that song. As for the Direction label, Inez and Charlie Foxx did a couple on there too, at the mo I cant remember any others, but I probably will! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus 5 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Not sure now, but wasn't Dance to the music on Direction? ANyway it was brill! Yes, it was, but it was originally issued in the UK on Columbia, but withdrawn very shortly afterwards. Columbia copies are now very hard to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
