I have been enjoying a nostalgic Sunday morning listening to Mick O'Donnell's Soul Discovery radio show special with Colin Curtis. Don't forget to listen to the show while it is still available on the Radio 209 website.As regular readers of IDR will recall, I featured Colin Curtis as one of the biggest influences on my soul music collecting. It was wonderful to hear him talking about the 45s listed below putting them into their historical context during his legendary DJ spot in the Highland Room at the Blackpool Mecca in the mid-70's.
