Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I saw him in San Francisco around the time of the millennium (walking down the street, not playing, sadly)

Morning troops, hope everyone is well :-)

Been indulging myself with a bit of "Modern Soul" at this end, it's nebulous term that in theory covers everything from 1970 to the present day and I wish there was something better, but that's what has been blasting from the Exile speakers and annoying all the neighbours.

Here's a couple from both ends of the spectrum ..... the first is inspired by recent talk about Philly soul and the O'Jays in particular, it's from 1976 and deserves to be played as loud as possible. Trust me on this, it's brilliant:

The second is from Kim English, a woman whose music I've always admired. Sadly she died a couple of years ago, taken way too early :-( This is wonderful:

EC was the sound of my uni years and *everybody* wanted red Kickers 😁

That takes me back. I had a pair of light grey Kickers boots, I remember they had port and starboard labels (red on the left, green on the right)

I’ve seen EC a couple of times - most recently about 10 years ago on tour supported by The La’s (sic)

Thanks for that mate, I was disappointed not to get any feedback on that one and you've gone and restored my faith - it's brilliant isn't it? JW played T.S.O.P. on that Gamble/Huff segment last week, first time I'd heard it in years!
