Hi folks, Speaking of "blue-eyed soul" here's an insightful article about the Righteous Brothers: http://www.ocweekly.com/ink/04 /10/music-seigal.php It's not mentioned in the article, but Bobby Hatfield recorded a "lost soul" classic in Muscle Shoals aptly titled "Messin' In Muscle Shoals"-highly recommended if you ever come across it on ebay or other sites. Forget about Janis/Justin and other pale imitators-this is the real deal! Eva | ||

You're right, Barry, Eddie Hinton had a voice ! But, I have the "Rare stamps" LP, by J.J. Barnes & Steve Mancha, on Volt, and they don't seem to be white, looking at the cover. (?) | ||

Hey Soul Brother. Steve Mancha was black. He also recorded as Clyde Wilson in the group 100 Proof with Joe Stubbs (Levi's brother). Juice | ||

Hi Barry, I don't have the "Rare Stamps" album, but I found a pic of the album cover on the web, and although the pic is kind of miniscule, this guy doesn't look white to me!;-) http://www.mediawars.ne.jp/~mu ndo/collect/file/s-mancha.html Maybe you're thinking of Johnny Daye, who also recorded a few (awesome) sides on Stax?

I was told way back by a reliable source that Steva Mancha was white..and later saw the attached photo in the 'Voices Of The Shadows' soul magazine. I think you'll agree the first info led me to believe he was white. Never too old to learn I guess! Looks like the drinks are on me guys and girls,.. my place Saturday.. we'll raid the wine cellar Barry  | ||

Johnny Daye's Stay with me baby is awesome! One of Stax's best. Thanks for the tip on Bobby H in Muscle Shoals. And Steve Mancha- the Rare Stamps album clearly shows he's black.....` | ||

Barry, you're forgiven ! Personnally, I'd appreciate a bottle of wine, like Medoc, or St Emilion, but maybe it'll be easier for you to get some good whiskhy ? I'll send you my address soon. :o) And talking about blue-eyed soul, has somebody ever listened to Tony Joe White ? | ||

Hey Soul-Brother, I'm definately on the same page as you! Whenever the frequent blue-eyed soul thread gets started on SD, I always sing the praises of Eddie Hinton. A great singer, songwriter and guitar player! | ||

Barry, I've asked you about whiskhy, but only 'cause I thought that you're from England, and I suppose whisky is easier (and cheaper) to find in your place. But I'm a (fine) wine man myself, living 40 miles from Bordeaux, and 10 miles from St Emilion. Cheers !!! | ||

Eva & Mike S, I'm with you. When I bought my Stax Singles Vol 2 when it was first released, I fell in love with Stay Baby Stay. I thought & still think that it is one of the most beautiful ballads I've heard. For me, that one song was worth the $110 that I paid for the set. Of course there are so many great songs in that set, that's just my favorite. When I think of the songs that he might had made, if Otis hadn't died.... I don't understand why that song wasn't a hit.
