Sunday was an interesting day

To cut very long stories short, I spent some time listening to the radio, in various locations on Sunday.

First surprise: Hearing Eddie Henderson - Say You Will being played on Radio 2 by Dale Winton as part of his regular homage to past years' charts, Pick Of The Pops. I had NO idea that Eddie Henderson would ever appear in this show or that he dented the U.K. pop charts, as I was spinning in Mallorca at the time and paid absolutely no notice to the pop charts. I'd just started my cream tea, in a local tea room when Eddie spurted out of the speakers and almost ended up with a cup of tea in my lap. The many OAP's (it's mostly OAPs who frequent tea rooms in quaint villages) surrounding me didn't wince or moan, neither.

Second surprise: Hearing Love Affair's Everlasting Love after sooooo many years and realising it was much better than I'd ever thought it was BITD. If you want to hear a record that has virtually all the ingredients of Disco, but waaaayyy before it happened, this is a strong contender. Originally made by Frederick Knight and a biggish U.S. hit for him, Love Affair took the song all the way to #1 in the U.K. in 1968.

Frederick Knight "Everlasting Love" ? sorry but it was by Robert Knight who followed it up with the equally as good "Love on a mountain top.Fred recorded on Stax. Robert on Monument.

A senior moment.

When I was typing it I knew something didn't look right and I couldn't see beyond the Monument record label logo, in my mind's eye.

Love On A Mountain Top was a big record in the UK (eventually). My wife likes it a lot, but with me it's a minor 'pet hate' type of record. Don't ask me why?

The Robert Knight stuff was on Rising Sons in the U.S. but on Monument in the U.K. In the 60's a lot of releases were licensed to some unlikely labels over here.Before Motown finaly started it's own label over here in the mid 60's there product came out on London-American, Oriole-American,Fontana & Stateside,you can imagine how collectable those are.
