As soon as you hear those opening bars...oh yeah!

Hey, who dimmed the lights?

I never realised Tammi Terrell died only 24 from a Brain Tumour. She had some wonderful collaborations with Marvin Gaye.

That was one really sensual song......

I remember the cover sang by the late Robert Palmer singing it in the Point in the '90's....He really did it justice...

Poor auld Marvin was never really happy

And it's not going to end well either.

Close your eyes lads........

Quickly!!

Welsh Megaman · 01-03-2014 11:30PM

Such a great voice.

A Preacher in one room and a Cocaine dealer in the other.....

No winners there....

Welsh Megaman · 01-03-2014 11:32PM

Yikes!

There is a Marvin Gaye film in development (featuring Brendan Gleeson as his manager) but it seems to have ran out of money.

Nos da, folks!

Grey and WWM signed out already?

Bad timing, dudes, this is good stuff!!

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2014 12:00AM

Love Smokestack Lightning.

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2014 12:10AM

Woah, quiet round here tonight!

Skid X · 02-03-2014 12:11AM

Last night is taking it's toll, I think. I am struggling myself, I might have to give this another try anon.

All going well for Chess at this point, where did it all go wrong?

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2014 12:23AM

Not sure, to my shame.

They made some brilliant records, though.

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2014 12:24AM

Guess we need some TOTP to get the crowds in!
:-D

That's the answer, then. When their driving force died suddenly, they never really recovered.

Interesting story, they certainly made a big impression on the course of modern music.

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2014 12:41AM

Came to an abrupt end for sure.

Marshall Chess always come across as an extremely irritating man.

Anyway, this should be good.

Why are the TOTP shows always from the seventies (1979, usually)??

Mike Read saved a Puppy from drowning this week

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/462381/Former-Radio-One-and-Top-of-The-Pops-presenter-Mike-Read-rescues-puppy-from-river

Speaking on his weekday afternoon show, Mr Read said: "He came floating past just with his nose out of the water.

"I got hold of his head and got him up.

"You think: 'In five seconds, that dog is going to be 20 yards downstream'."

Mr Read, who later cleaned himself by a nearby boatyard, was thanked by Ms Prior on social networking site Twitter for saving her beloved pet.

They are being shown in sequence (more or less, depending on which shows are no longer appropriate for broadcast)

They started in April 2011 with the 1 April 1976 show, and the ratings have been decent.

I'd rather see a bit of variety, to be honest. You often see the same performances repeated at the moment.

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2014 12:44AM

Good work, Mike Read!

I notice puppehs are subtly making there way into Beebrock thread more and more often.

Good news, I say

Yeah, it'd be great to see an eighties one every second week.

I looked at the listing earlier, yer wan Lena "Lucky Number" will be on again soon!
