VSBfromH 74 Posted January 4, 2012 Robert Dickey a.k.a. the original "Bobby" from James and Bobby Purify, has died aged 72. Their biggest hit was the extremely irritating "I'm your Puppet" (apparently he didn't even like the song himself!). It got to no. 6 in the US in 1966, being re-recorded and scoring a no. 12 hit in the UK 10 years later, although by then Dickey had left the duo for health reasons and been replaced by a second "Bobby" (actually called Ben Moore).

But that was back in 2008 MacBeth, from Trefriw, near Llanrwst, North Wales, said he was downloading the porn as research for a book. FFS: That defence was good enough for Pete Townsend!

Whitehouse 872 Posted January 18, 2012 Pop and funk musician Jimmy Castor, who was known for his 1972 hit "Troglodyte (Cave Man)", is gone at age 64. A lot of you might not know who he is and what music he made. Including me for a time. But his music had something in common with the godfather of soul himself, James Brown: His music was sampled to death. If you don't recognize anything in these tracks, you might as well be tone-deaf. I'm sure there are a lot of samples you recognize from Troglodyte. Also, It's just begun was also a massive source of samples. Most notable tracks that used his music were: Beat dis - Bomb the bass Pump Up the Volume - M|A|R|R|S Weekend - The Todd Terry Project Big hits that had a funk foundation from the Jimmy Castor Bunch. But you'll really get a sense of his influence when you see the full list of tracks that used his music. Here are four pages of tracks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
