Likes Leeds Utd fanatic, Walking our English Springer Spaniel aptly named Otis, Collecting Records DJing and seeing people having a good time

Dislikes Arrogant Rude people, certain football teams. Tractors on main roads and salad cream!!

Favourite DJs Roger Banks and Soul Sam, most definitely two of the most upfront DJ’s who play the records that 6 months later everyone wants but who both get hassle when they first play them. Ade for asking me to start a club with him.

Lynne Burnett

Background lives York

Soul History Lynne’s introduction to the scene was by way of the St George’s Youth Club thanks to Motown DJ Andrew “Dusty” Miller who introduced her to The Supremes, The Four Tops and The Temptations and by listening to the jukebox in The Lord Nelson on Walmgate in York with friends.

Likes Holidays, good food cooking, spending quality time with the grandchildren, friends and of course soul music.

Dislikes Two-faced people and all the back biting and politics on the soul scene

Top Favourites (in no particular order)

1 Just my Imagination – The Temptations

2 Stop in the Name of Love – Diana Ross and The Supremes

3 Tears of a Clown – Smokey Robinson and The Miracles

5 Let’s Stay Together – Al Green

6 I Hear a Symphony – The Isley Brothers

7 Little Girl – Corey Glover

8 Road by the Place – David Ruffin

9 Sugar Sugar – The Archies!! This is apparently Lynne’s signature tune and one which she learned to play on her recorder which perhaps explains why the record was at No. 1 in the charts for two months back in the late 60’s. or perhaps not?
