Re: Little Gems
Not a lot of people know this, but Randall's son in real life is Guy Pratt, who has played bass with many of the greats and is a good all-round egg. He's even replied to one of my tweets, so he can't be bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaiP47DxKfM for his tale about Michael Jackson.Psmith wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 5:41 amI don't know who it is or what it's about but I like the tune.I think it reminds me of Randall and Hopkirk.

I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Re: Little Gems
Randall, Mike Pratt, was quite the prolific songwriter late 50's early 60's, collaborating with Lionel Bart writing songs for Tommy Steel. If you grew up in the late 70's you may remember a kids TV prog called "Handful Of Songs", he wrote the title song....Julian Mince wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 10:02 amNot a lot of people know this, but Randall's son in real life is Guy Pratt, who has played bass with many of the greats and is a good all-round egg.

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Re: Little Gems
Sadly he also co-wrote Little White Bull with Bart and Tommy Steele....

Re: Little Gems
Now there's a coincience. My grandfather had a copy of an album with that song on it, and - hilarity ensued when we realised that some wag had misspelled it as "Little White Bum"!

Not the soundtrack album from the film Tommy The Toreador? A classic that everyone should own...
Me and little Sis used to sing Little White Bum, I'll have to remind her next time we meet...

Re: Little Gems
Have I really? I thought my all consuming crush on Poly and my desire for her to join me in an extended game of hide the sausage were one of this boards well kept secrets...
You'll be telling me next Suze loves Robbie, a highly unlikely scenario I think...
