BANDS & SINGERS I’VE SEEN IN CONCERT! part 1

Over the years I have seen several different Bands and Singers in Concert, one of the first Acts I saw was Junior Walker & the All Star’s I think it was the late 70’s or the early 80’s, I have done several searches on the Web, but cant find anything relating to the Tour!

I went with my Wife and Brother in law to Tiffany’s Night Club In Great Yarmouth UK, as I remember it was a Great Concert and Junior Walker sounded as Good Live as he does on Record!

His Great Saxophone playing was something great to hear Live!

Some other older acts I seen are The Temptations, this was the early to mid 80’s, this was around the “Treat her like a Lady” period, they were very Good as well, in fact all the Artist’s I’ve seen Live have been Great, apart from probably one or two, more of that later!

I also saw The Supremes featuring Mary Wilson, that was in the 80’s, around that same period I saw, the Drifters featuring Johnny Moore, they as I remember, put on a very long Show!

I’ve seen more of the newer Acts as well, I say “Newer” I mean 70’s and 80’s, more of that next time!

SATURDAY 22nd JULY 1978*** WE GOT MARRIED

By now we had Hoped to be living together on our own, but we were still with my Nanny at her House, but things were going OK!

I remember I stayed at my Mother’s House the night before the Wedding and Susan was at her Mum’s, I remember the only person (Parent Wise) who was happy we were getting Married was Susan’s Mum, the other 3 Parents did’nt like the in-Law or wanted us to get Married!

See picture above, The Happy Couple ( me and Susan) ha ha, and the other 2 people are Susan’s Mum and Nanny, Susan’s Nanny would be in our Lives in the not to distant future!

Anyway the Wedding Day didnt get off to a Good start, my Mother drove me and my Sister’s to the Registry Office about 5 miles away, and we got stuck in a Traffic Jam about a Mile away, so we had to get out and Walk to remaining distance to the Registry Office! What a Fool I felt!

Anyway the Day went well, but my Father never turned up! and Susan’s Father came to the Registry Office, but went straight back to work afterward’s!

So no surprise there then!

We had the Wedding Reception Party at the Mother in Law’s Bungalow and Susan’s Brother made the Wedding Cake, and everything else went Great!

So at last we were Married and looking forward to the Baby being Born!

One thing I remember happening that day, was Susan’s 2 elder Bother’s gave me a Friendly Warning about Looking after Susan in the future !!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR ELSE!

SLAVE part 2

By 1978, SLAVE had released another 2 Albums, The Hardness of the World and The Concept, in my opinion neither were as Good as the First Album (Slave), the Best Tracks from both Albums, in my opinion were “Party Song” (Slide 2) and “Baby Sinister” from Hardness, and “Stellar Fungk” and “Thank You Lord” from Concept!

Check out both Albums at the end of this Post, press the small Album Cover to go to Deezer and hear the Full Tracks!

Slave‘s second Album was released very quickly after the original Album, I read somewhere years ago, it was a rush job! as the original Album had been a Success!

Have a listen to the Track “Volcano Rupture” on the Hardness Album, you would think you were listening to a Rock Band!

As for The Concept Album it featured some noteable new members including Steve Arrington
(writer, on first 3 tracks and backing Vocals), and Starleana Young (Backing Vocals) who went on to form Aurra/Deja with Curt Jones.

Slaves first 3 Albums had a different Sound to them, as I mentioned in a earlier post, this Sound was about to change with Steve Arrington taking over as one of the Lead Singers on their up and coming fourth Album “Just a Touch of Love” Produced by their new Producer Jimmy Douglass.

They would lose that Rock edge to their Sound for a more Commercial one for their future Albums.

I have found many a story concerning Slave on the Web, here’s a couple of the better one’s!

EARLY SUMMER OF 78

By now we had about 2 Months to go before getting married, and we had a couple of Big changes going on! Firstly, I had to sell my Car, the main reason behind this was to get extra money for us when we got Married!

I remember selling the Car to my Sister’s Boyfriend, for £100 and a bike, so not a bad loss on the Original price and I had some transport to get back and forth to work!

The second change we had, was we had moved in with my Nanny, who lived in the Town Centre of our Town, we had our own Bedroom and had most of our Meals out at the Hotel where I worked, so we were sorted at last!

One thing I do remember that happened at this time was, we had to convert a large Bathroom in my Nanny’s House, into our Bedroom,what a nightmare that was, in the process we had to get the old Bath out of the First Floor Room Window, this took quite a while to do!

Work was going OK at this time and as I said we had about 2 months to go before we got Married!
