"I'll Never Fall in Love Again" is a popular song by composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David that was written for the 1968 musical Promises, Promises. There are numerous reggae covers - I like the John Holt take on this ...

Welcome to the Sunlit Uplands ... 😎

We did this about a week ago? Spanishtonians did the original ska, but this version is (I think) by Keith and Tex -

I knew I'd heard that before I got the Pat Kelly (which I used on the show) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Then_You_Can_Tell_Me_Goodbye

1969 - Pat Kelly ? Or Heptones 1969 - ?

Nice, Wiki gives us this - Bob Marley and the Wailers (also known as Bob Marley & the Wailers) were a Jamaican reggae band led by Bob Marley. It developed from the earlier ska vocal group, The Wailers, created by Peter Tosh, Marley, and Bunny Wailer in 1963. By late 1963 singers Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith had joined on. By the early 1970s, Marley and Bunny Wailer had learned to play some instruments, and brothers Aston "Family Man" Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums), had joined the band. After Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh left the band in 1974, Marley began touring with new band members as Bob Marley and the Wailers. His new backing band included the Barrett brothers, Junior Marvin and Al Anderson on lead guitar, Tyrone Downie and Earl "Wya" Lindo on keyboards, and Alvin "Seeco" Patterson on percussion. The "I Threes", consisting of Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, and Marley's wife, Rita, provided backing vocals. Simmer Down apparently dates from 1963, I never knew that !

I started off in about 1964 and cut my teeth playing Buster (bluebeat) which went into ska and then to Rocksteady..... Enjoy -

Now see what you've started ......

I'm old enough to have paid his wages, once. 😎

Has anyone seen a good live set from James Brown ? 😎

Sat through an awful performance from the late James Brown at the Barbican, Watched as most of the (largely American) audience walked out on Stevie Wonder at the Talk of the Town - he was dismal (off night?) Went to see Junior Walker & the all stars at the California (Dunstable) & left after one song. (from the above, you may surmise, correctly, that my going to see bands days are long gone) 😎

I'm in clothing retail - most stock is imported by my major supplier - they have at least one container on board a ship which is currently stuck in the traffic jam at Suez (don't believe the press, the blockage is clear but there is a pretty significant backup), this is after fighting to get what stock they could from a pandemic-struck continent (or two). there is no certainty that I will get much of what I pre-ordered, but the situation has eased since last year when there was virtually zero stock available/arriving. Delivery dates are a total lottery ... 😎

This is fun -

Drill the holes a smidge bigger? 😎

Anytime soon we are going to start the 'heft' discussion .............. 😎
