Cheers, the boss loves em, so will ask her tomoz if she fancies.
They apeared a lot at the Cavendish prior to fire.
The Stylistics? Do you think so? I used to "live" up there Alan, andn I honestly dont remember them being there. Still, I will be seeing them soon, so it might "jog" my memory.
I remember seeing The O'Jays fairly often up there. What a fantastic place it was. "well before its time".

I worked at the Cav Atarah, but after the fire, remember seeing the O'Jays and the Detroit Emeralds, can't remember the Stylistics though, was just wondering when they came to prominence over here.
From early 70's mate - the lead singer had the highest pitched voice out of all those bands - his voice was falsetto and the hits were mainly romantic songs.
I do actually know who and what their music was and is like, they have to be romantic songs when they're sung in falsettoFrom early 70's mate - the lead singer had the highest pitched voice out of all those bands - his voice was falsetto and the hits were mainly romantic songs.

Not nessarily, "Staying Alive" is sung in falsetto and that's not a love song! Though it's not the same group, it shows that high-pitched voices can sing other than romantic songs!
I don't remember the Stylistics being at the Cav either.. not getting mixed up with the Drifters are we?
I did see the Drifters at the Cav and after thier set they came to the bar.. they were an instant hit with the ladies..but some Blackburn lads got the hump and started throwing punches at the band members.. calling them "black" this and that... all very embarrassing.
No Mancie not mixing them up with the Drifters, think they were there a couple of times I was working there when they appeared in the mid 70s, think the only one I remembered from the old Drifters (although he wasn't a founder member) was the late Johnnie Moor, I know that with touring Britain they ignited more interest and had quite a few hits in the 70s, nearly sure I have an old album of the Drifters biggest hits, with Johnie MoorI don't remember the Stylistics being at the Cav either.. not getting mixed up with the Drifters are we?
