I thought I knew my way around music, but you have schooled me in so many ways. It's hard to pick favorites among the songs you turned me on to and honestly, I haven't been able to work my way through all of them yet. <br /><br />Here are a few standouts among many:<br /><br />Brothers of Soul - I'd Be Grateful<br /><br />Those strings give me chills every time I hear them<br /><br />http://dereksdaily45.blogspot.com/2013/03/brothers-of-soul-id-be-grateful.html<br /><br />The Dynamics - Misery<br /><br />That falsetto combined with that percussion drives me crazy everytime it pops up on my iPod<br /><br />http://dereksdaily45.blogspot.com/2009/06/dynamics-misery.html<br /><br />Sunny and The Sunliners - No One Else Will Do<br /><br />How could I have lived my life without hearing these guys before<br /><br />http://dereksdaily45.blogspot.com/2009/06/sunny-sunliners-no-one-else-will-do.html<br /><br />Derek, you will be missed!

I've been following the daily 45 from about a year after you started I think. It's been a pleasure and an education too and I'm going to miss it - won't be able to stop myself coming back occasionally just in case there's anything new! It's also been pretty cool hearing about your band, your travels, getting married and so on. The personal touch and obvious love of the music made this blog even better than the songs did already.<br /><br />I must admit I did wonder once or twice, 'How long can he keep this up?' Now alas that day has come, but if the Eddie Bo post is anything to go by, it'll be a great farewell party.<br /><br />All time DD45 fave? I really dunno, but maybe Tony Clarke, They Call Me A Wrong Man...brutal. I love the brooders!

I thought I knew soul music until I found your blog and you opened my ears to so many great tracks. <br /><br />One track that stands out is 'Little Richard - I don't know what you got....' It came as a shock as it's not the 'screaming' Little Richard I remember and more importantly, it's just so, so good. 'You're not very much to look at' is a brilliant line that always makes me smile. I think it was said to me once or twice!!! <br /><br />http://dereksdaily45.blogspot.com/2013/05/little-richard-i-dont-know-what-youve.html <br /><br />All success to you in whatever you do next and many thanks for the best education money didn't buy.....<br /><br />Peter<br />Old soulie<br />Thailand<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11906824006285149325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874687919193635.post-57553899664590225372013-10-03T03:24:01.739-07:002013-10-03T03:24:01.739-07:00NOOOOO!
