HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Daily 45!


Yes, all, it's been three years since the birth of this blog. Thanks to all of the kind appreciative emails I receive every day from folks around the world it has lasted far longer than I would have ever imagined.

Happy 3rd birthday from Londontown! Derek, you're always welcome here, and thanks for all the great music, and wisdom, that you provide throughout the year. The grooves that you posted sustained me while I was abroad working and always brought a smile to my face. Please don't ever stop posting!! There's just too much great music out there! Alejandro.

Wow, Happy Birthday. I can't even count how many times you have sent me scurrying over to Gemm Music or Ebay looking for original copies of something I heard for the first time on your blog. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Thanks for the introduction to so many amazing records! Without Derek's Daily 45 I may never have heard the likes of Edwin Starr's "You're My Mellow", The Delicates, "Stop Shovin' Me Around", and Luther Ingram's "If It's All the Same To You" - all 3 amongst my top favourites! So, happy birthday Derek's Daily 45 - may you have many more. Marie

Thanks Derek, the Robbie Montgomery track was a revelation.
It's an answer song to a little known song from 1964 by The Night Crawlers(RnB group)called A Fool In Love.

I forgot this was where I got the rip of "Hurtin' for Your Love"! It's been great being able to listen to it more often than on holidays back home where the turntable is. Thanks again.
