The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers


Recommended Posts

It's Valentine's weekend so time to get out some of the very best slow dance lovers tracks from deep within the soul vault.


Kashif, "Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart"




Randy Brown, "The Next Best Thing To Being There"




Teddy Pendegrass, "Come Go with Me"


 

Storm Eunice hits London and so far it's not looking too bad.


But here we go with the next Going home for the Weekend tune, it's one heck of a a banger of a track, thanks Stretch for sharing this one with me.


Double Exposure, "Everyman (Has To Carry His Own Weight"


 

So another pair of two from two "Going home for the weekend" tunes. The first funnily enough popped up on my You Tube screen and what a track it is, taken from the 1973 album Black Byrd, by Donald Byrd, Sit back and enjoy this one, it's so good actually set it on repeat.


"Where Are We Going?"




And then another track from the ever reliable Bobby Womack with, "Across 110th Street". Two wonderful tracks that go all the way back to 1972 and 73. That's when they produced real music.


 

So it's the early hours of Friday morning and I've been down the vaults pulling some more "Going home for the weekend" tracks. First of two bangers from Diana Ross and 40+ years since it was released, "I'm coming out", what a vocal, WoW.




That's followed closely by the 1979 release of "The boss", both tracks still sound so fresh today.


 

Another weekend is just around the corner, so it's time for some "going home for the weekend" tunes.


From all the way back to 1983, The Funkmasters, "Its Over"




And then even further back to 1979, this time it's a Roy Ayres tune, "Don't stop the feeling"

    • Thanks everyone, that’s encouraging to hear- I’ve now taken a chance and ordered my parcel . Fingers crossed!
    • I used the Forum to find a reliable plumber who could respond to an emergency. Niko responded quickly and was able to come over and fix the problem efficiently and effectively. He was professional, courteous and thoughtful. He was also keen that I contacted him after a few days to check with him that I was still happy with the work he had done.  I have no hesitation in recommending Niko and would certainly call on him again.  Thanks Niko
    • Thanks George.  The sub post office sold penny sweets - a blast from the past.  They were happy to let the post office go as they told me there had been some serious robberies - with menace.  But it didn't last much longer Roy operated from very old coach house building from the adjacent hotel, he sold these and built a brand new facility, he had to use yellow brick, but then some personal stuff meant that he had to let it go, and there was no reason to keep a garage there so were turned into apartments.  There were some very shacky and old buildings on the other side (to the left as you look from the street) and a mobile mechanic used to work from there, but they went I think after Covid. The coal sheds from the branch line would have been behind as well. I phoned Robert Elms up on his programme when he was asking about a London pub which had doubled up as an undertakers.  It may have been the Moore Park Hotel but I was more interested in Elm's views as he doesn't recognise that SE London exists, Well, begrudgingly Peckham, as one of his kids lives there. We did a local pub crawl many years ago starting with the hotel, which had been turned into flats by then, but we had some home made stout and made our own pub sign for a bit of fun. Of course this side of the road is Lewisham, so we shouldn't be discussing it here, but I wont tell anyone.
