Any guys wish to list some of their favourites from this popular form of our scene.Most will be familiar with the big tunes...Walter Jackson, Lou Johnson,Lenny Welch, but are there any favourites of yours that you'd like to promote ?

Nice tunes...

although I don't think I've heard Marion Stewart??? 

"I must be losing you - Marion Stewart (hmm is it a beat ballad?)"

Yes........what does constitute a Beat Ballad?

 

I tend to lump them all together...........as the sounds that we now listen to that years ago were considered too slow.

So things like Walter Jackson "Uphill climb to the bottom" counts for me, but not really danceable.

I intend to compile a CD or two with my favourites, and as always looking for new material.
