Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.

Today’s status is dedicated to Carroll Thompson, Janet Kay, Victor Romero Evans, Louisa Mark, Jean Adebambo (RIP), Sandra Cross, Donna Rhoden, Matumbi, Legato, The Cool Notes, Claudia Fontaine (RIP), Winston Reedy, The Investigators, Junior English, Brown Sugar, Trevor Hartley, 15 16 17, Prediction, Peter Hunnigale, Michael Gordon, Kofi, Paulette Tajah, Trevor Walters, Marie Pierre, Erica Gale, John McLean, Lorna Gee, Sylvia Tella, The Administators, Arema, Keith Douglas, The Instigators and all the British acts that forged the lover’s rock sound in the seventies/eighties, and made very little money from it!

This status is also dedicated to all the house party sound system men that strung up their boxes in the afternoon and, long after everyone had gone home and gone to sleep, these men would still be packing away their gear in some garage or lock-up, possibly 14 or 15 hours later and, only then, could they relax, get into bed and sleep. For how much money? Split between four or five people? £3 an hour, if they were lucky!

This status is also dedicated to all the people that went to soul and reggae house parties in the seventies and eighties, impeccably dressed, behaved themselves, had a good time, had a few drinks, ate some food, laughed with old friends, made a new friend or two and, in the early hours, came home (relatively) sober with their clothes slightly crushed and sweaty but still looking smart!

To all those that worked so hard to establish a lover’s rock scene in the UK, I salute you! It was a labour of love. Nobody got rich. These artists and sound men worked hard to entertain people into the wee, small hours because they loved the music. It spoke to them. It moved them. And lovers of lover’s rock know how important that music still is to this day. I married a girl that sang in a lover’s rock group and she knows the words to every song from that era. Good times!

Have a throbbing and thrusting Thursday (with hopefully a few thrills through your thoroughfare?) I love you all. And, remember, if you’ve read one of my books and enjoyed it, please go back to Amazon and leave a review. Fanx!
