charon 4,938 Posted May 1, 2015 Time to institute a Soul Thread? I've seen country, folk, blues, jazz and pop. No point, nae cunt left.... Wilz, you could start one...... 'Or'..... I would be hugely surprised that there was not one, at least, already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be hugely surprised that there was not one, at least, already. I thought I had seen one for Soul / R & B artists in the past, but it's long forgotten about. Perhaps when Isaac Hayes died was the last time someone posted to it and then it disappears unless someone bothers to search for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be hugely surprised that there was not one, at least, already. Ha ha, right off the bat I could name about 50 soul singers, musicians, producers etc. I appreciate the Forum might not want things to get too fractured, and if the mods confirm there doesn't appear to be a Soul thread, happy to start one. Edit: should have mentioned there is also a rock/metal thread too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,103 Posted May 6, 2015 Swithered about the category. Craig Gruber, original bassist with Rainbow, has died after battling prostate cancer. He was 63. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/original-rainbow-bassist-craig-gruber-dies-after-battle-with-prostate-cancer/ Edit: Should probably have gone in Stairway To Heaven etc. Gah you soft rock gods! https://youtu.be/v5J2yjSmt_w Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted May 6, 2015 Damn . I liked a bit of Hot Chocolate when I was younger. They say everything comes in 3's. After Percy Sledge and Ben E King it looks like Errol Flynn completes the trio. Good news for BB King ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted May 6, 2015 A lot of black male singers have been dying recently - Percy Sledge, Ben E. King and now Errol Brown. Next time it'll probably be three prog rock guitarists or something... death tends to come in threes like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw Errol Brown on the same bill as Kevin Rowland down in Brighton a while back. One of the best gigs I had been to in a long while. I wonder if he really did believe in miracles.

An "incredible" 40 years together according to the website with a picture of a band sporting minor members of the original line up and a some fresh-faced young chancers probably glad of the wage packet.

So many band 'names' continue on and we know damn well virtually or literally none of the original ensembles are participants, I hate that (preparing a posts for Pets in extra curricular lol).
