OT - Music. Gigs. Sounds bought.

Indeed. No matter what one’s subsequent tastes, ‘Reach Out I’ll be There’ is just one of those songs that evokes childhood memories…even though we were both only, I think, about 12.

P.S. Just watched an old Ed Sullivan recording of them. Think it’s where Sunak got his trouser length fashion sense from.

There's also the one that so many people think is called "sugar pie, honey bunch" but is actually "I can't help myself"

Privileged to have seen the classic line up, supported by Edwin Starr who claimed to have caught the bus to the gig!

Just seen that Evelyn Thomas of "Weak Spot" fame, a song produced by Ian Levine, has also passed this week. RIP.

I hope that's it for now, 3 artists I enjoyed listening to have shuffled off this mortal coil. Quite enough for now.
