Yes, as much as we are put

Yes, as much as we are put off by the alleagations from certain quarters the musical legacy is pretty impressive although the calibre of "others" helping him is a whose who of black music. We salute you MJ but also many others like this man from Cleethorpes.

Ps Haven't heard the manhattan transfer tune for an age so real memory trip!

Tune after Tune After Tune, many thanks guys for these gems.

Is it time for some recognition?

Submitted by Martin Fowler on 28 June 2009 - 3:40pm.

Whilst we will all miss the wonderful performer that MJ was, I expect you will receive much renewed interest in your celebration of the songwriter behind 'Thriller'.

It's incredible then that Mr Rod Temperton, formerly of Cleethorpes, has received no recognition from our state. Not even an OBE. Shameful really (unless he's turned it down). Keep up the good work 6MS.

Sir Rod

Hi Martin

Yes, very sad news about MJ, but his musical legacy will live on. As for Rod, well I'm sure he'd appreciate some recognition for his services, but I feel he is happy enough knowing he's written some of the greatest soul/pop songs of our time. The man is a genius, and our show only highlighted how much so. That said, it would indeed be nice to see Rod get some mainstream recognition of his amazing talent. Rod, Quincy & MJ together were an amazing team!

Cheers Daz and Stu,

Good to hear you enjoyed the show.

We're deciding on who or what will be featured in future specials and the Mizell brothers are certainly worth considering.

Yo guys,
I loved the show, ii was great fun. Although I still think the George Benson version of "Star of a story" is the best. (But "Give me the night" IS one of my all time favorite L.P.'s)
Also, I really enjoyed the latest JJ mix (Party down). So, who's going to do a Mizzel brothers special?
Keep up the great work.
D
P.S.
Thanks to alan for all the help with my web site. I'm hoping to go live in a couple of weeks.
