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!

Odd that Ebony never broke through - warm, sensitive interpretation.

By coincidence, I found this tune, by an artist unknown to me before.

Bobby Paris - I Walked Away

The other thing I've been listening to lately is a good amount of CalSoul, any Mayer Hawthorne fans out there? I'm sure there are :-) Here's a remake he made of Chromeo's "When the Night Falls" and I think it's outstanding ..... give it a try :-)

Ah Steve, Bobby Paris. Blue-Eyed soul at it's best :-)

He actually had two or three that made it big on the northern scene, the others that come to mind are Pers-on-ally and Nightowl, you can imagine that last one being big I guess (it was) :-)

One of the tracks that Ebony covered was Yvonne Elliman's "Hello Stranger", I'm afraid it's nowhere as good as Yvonne's version though.

The Mayer Hawthorne track starts out like a Steely Dan intro but soul soon supersedes jazz. Very cool. :)

Thanks for the Bobby Paris tune. Full range of vocal skills in play.

Yvonne Elliman worked with Eric Clapton, e.g. the 461 Ocean Boulevard album, and had a huge hit with The Gibbs Brother's 'If I Can't Have You', which I think is a belting track.
Love the nod back to doo wop in the chorus of 'Hello Stranger'. :)

From what I've read that bit of Steely Dan plagarism was acknowledged.

I wondered if anyone would make the Yvonne Elliman/Saturday Night Fever connection. You're too smart by far S. :-)

The short explanation is that both 'Saturday Night Fever' and Clapton's post-addiction album are milestones in the course of my earlier years. Let me assure I was at at least one remove from both disco lizard and recovering junkie! :-o
