Chuck Nessa Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) To be correct, it is Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl. Edited December 5, 2020 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I know, but that clip is THE Duke of Earl. In action. That's an amazing presence, amazing body language,...the PROWL - and zero smiles, ZERO. Nothing can stop me NOW, that's not taling about (just) romance, there's a whole...SUBTEXT in all of that, ALL of it. and according to Wicki, John Board is on the record. Hey.

Chuck Nessa Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I had hoped to record Johnny Board back in the day. I used to hear him battle with Eddie Johnson at least once a week at Andy's. I shouldn't concentrate on regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Gene Chandler did some great records in the early 60's, and that one is epic. It and "Stand By Me" hit me as hard as anything from the era. Agreed on the video, which I have never seen before. Not at all familiar with John(ny) Board, please enlighten us.

I remember him having at least one disco hit in the late 1970s - at least over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly memorable. Check out earlier soul hits like "Think Nothing About It", "What Now", "Man's Temptation" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Check out the album with Jerry Butler (Johnny Board's on that one also). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
