I just realized that you and Jocelyn from This Is Northern Soul must have access to the same treasure trove. She let me use her copy of the same Barbara and Brenda a few weeks ago. Ah, the generosity of soul fans . . .

Derek, I was wondering if you could let me know if it would be alright for me to use the photo of Candi Staton in my next posting? I'll give you credit, of course. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. So many in there I'd never seen before.

That's a beautiful shot of Loraine Ellison...and damn, Lee Rogers look like just as much trouble as I imagined.

Wow...it is immediately apparent that each of these performers not only entertained, but they lived to entertain. The amount of talent on this page is truly spectacular. I am extremely grateful to have experienced most of these artists and the images just take me back. PS, don't forget Little Anthony and The Imperials.
