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


Recommended Posts

It's Easter weekend, a good time for some reflection and contemplation, and about time we had a bit of gospel soul, I give to you from this collectors must have album;


Donny Hathaway, Sack Full of Dreams, from the album "In Performance", a collectors vinyl must have.




Donny Hathaway, We Need You Right Now, from the album "In Performance"


 

What a way to get the weekend just around the corner underway with two fab "Going home for the Weekend" tunes, enjoy.


Instant Funk - Crying, a Larry Levan 12" Mix




Gospel BeBe Winans - Thank You (1997) Rare MAW 12" Inch Remix


 

With another Bank Holiday just around the corner, what better way to begin then with two outstandingly great "Going home for the weekend" tracks from the O'Jays, beginning with "I love music"




Swiftly followed on by "My favourite person",


 

It's Friday again, so it can only mean more "Going home for the weekend" tracks.


First up is a remix of Brass Construction's Movin by Djinji Brown




Followed swiftly by Marcus Miller from the Tutu Revisited LP (Live) featuring the superb Christian Scott, Hannibal. An absolutely stonking jazz track.


 

So many tunes and so little time to squeeze them all in by closedown, but lets start with two more outstandingly stonking good "Going home for the weekend" tunes from 1973 and 1975 with;


The Intruders, "I'll Always Love My Mama"




Followed swiftly by;


The Trammps, "Trusting Heart"


 

More "Going home for the weekend" tunes.


Beginning with a soulful jazzy track by Jon Lucien, "Would You Believe in Me"




and followed very swiftly with the high energy banger of Stephanie Mills, "You're puttin a rush on me"


 

I saw the Silver and Golden Jubilee's and now here we go with the Platinum Jubilee.


It's a double bank holiday weekend, and I'm feeling it's time to begin pulling some tunes out for the four days of celebrations which are ahead, and funk up your life so what better way to start than with some funky sounds to get you tapping and bopping across the floor. Tune 1, from a bag bursting at the seams;


Chaka Khan "I Know You, I Live You"




Followed by a touch of sweet jazz;


Eddie Russ, "take a look at yourself"

    • 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.
