Aw, b*ll*cks!  

One of the best soul singers ever.
His recording of 'Out on the Floor' is considered to be the epitome of Northern Soul (in the UK).
As a former DJ I thank Dobie for the crowded dancefloors. R.I.P.

This is a sad day.  I just read Harry Morgan (M*A*S*H, Dragnet, etc.) passed away as well.

I always remember this guy as Glenn Miller's piano player in the biog-movie. RIP

Damn, that sucks.

I didn't know any of his Northern Soul songs, but the ones posted here are right up my street.

RIP, Dobie (and Harry Morgan)

"The chicks are out of sight and I'm approving"  That's something we can all relate to...

Don't think I ever heard any of his work and it's a bit before my time, but after listening to that I'm feeling nostalgic and sad too.

RIP

Sad Day, Drift Away was one of my all time favourites. Willie
