First heard Abbey Road on Radio Luxembourg with Ringo talking through the tracks. Must have been 1969.

Had to listen to it on my little transistor radio with earplugs as the programme went out at 10.00 pm and we were in prison, aka boarding school. Lights out at 9.00 pm. If any prefect caught us awake it was punishment at dawn.

I never associated Dobie Gray with 'soul' music...but I'm not from south Yorkshire...James Brown and Joe Tex were more to the point...

 

 

now listen fellas...yes they will, yes they will...

 

and let's not forget some years later

 

 

along with Aretha some of the best music ever recorded...

no disrespect to the northern soul artists...Joe Cocker is unforgettable...
