Sweet Soul Music (Do you like good music)

I have to admit... The Snake is my least favourite Northern Soul record ever. I used to avoid playing it and (unless an attractive young lady requested it) it stayed very firmly in the box.
Just can't listen to it.

Claim to fame...

I saw the Isley Brothers 20-odd years ago and met with them after the show (fanboy)...

Chatting with Ronald Isley, I mentioned that 'Tell me it's just a rumour baby' was one of my favourite songs ever. He said he loved the song but it wasn't in their playlist any more.... He took the chance to do it live on the spot, with me accompanying him, in the car park at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. The whole song!
It was one of the most fantastic moments of my life (and hopefully his..).

Ernie Isley just stood there wondering what the hell was going on! Absolute legends.

Guess what happened when I came face to face with Al Green (totally unexpectedly) at the same venue... I literally couldn't speak, and he just stood there laughing and shaking my hand as I struggled to make words come out!

Fantastic story mate.
