Ashton Gardner and Dyke - Ressurection Shuffle

[davespagnol]

Was Tony Ashton related in any way to 8 Ace out of Viz? I think we should be told.

[ChorltonM21]

Which is the one that's married to Stacia out of Hawkwind?

[mrsqonk]

So this is where Lemmys brother went..

[john26857]

Cracking song still great 40 years after it came out . . .

[2much4mymirror]

Awesome funky groove. Ashton's a great natural showman too. But what's with the weird skips?

[fmcctube]

A real belter.... thanks.

[episkopi08]

One of my favourite  songs at the time. Still sounding great.

[vwgolfman2000]

Not a hit in America, thanks for sharing. RIP Tony Ashton.

[Captlafl69]

@vwgolfman2000 It made the top 10 here in Chicago

[vwgolfman2000]

@Captlafl69 I didn't know that, thanks for the news! :-)

[Mark5610]

[Finn62]

How long has Lemmy been playing keyboards?

[samspadexxx]

Officer, that man is rat arsed. 

[jimincairns]

That's Mick Liber on guitar on the right-hand side of the screen. He now lives in Perth, Australia. Haven't seen him since '75 when we both got pissed as parrots with Ronnie Wood (From West Drayton) and Rod Stewart. They were doing the 'Faces' tour. Ron played with Kim the bassist and Roy the drummer in 'The Birds'.

[MrCleanandWhite]

those were the days

[SteffanLlwyd]

Joyous...

[jimincairns]

Tony and Kim passes away. Roy was last seen begging outside the Angel, Islington.

[SteffanLlwyd]

@jimincairns NO!!!!! That's terrible. Why? The record label must still be earning money from this blinding British soul classic.

[jimincairns]

@SteffanLlwyd Tony wrote it in 'The Railway Arms' at West Drayton railway station. Took him about ten minutes! I think his family gets the royalties such as they are.

[SteffanLlwyd]

@jimincairns That's got to be a little pilgrimage for me. I work in Uxbridge so a pint in the Railway Arms, West Drayton would be no great challenge. Yep. I can toast the Ressurection Shuffle... If you are around then of course that would be great. (I'm "in the chair"; I insist.)

[SteffanLlwyd]

@SteffanLlwyd That pub is reported closed, damn....

[jimincairns]

@SteffanLlwyd The pub's still there; I think they changed the name! A free pint, hey? Gee..that's tempting but I live in Cairns, Queensland now! Maybe you can mail it to me...*snork*..

[SteffanLlwyd]

@jimincairns Hah! I'll go anyway and make sure the people there knw it has a part in the history of British R&B. There should be a plaque on the wall outside. Would you be happy with this wording..? 'Tony Ashton, keyboard player with Ashton, Gardner and Dyke, wrote "Ressurection Suffle" while visiting this establishment. It was a major chart success for the band, reaching Number Three in the UK while also charting successfully in the US and in Germany.' I'd need to check with his family

[jimincairns]

@SteffanLlwyd It was in the grubby little practice hall out the back of the pub. There's a sports bar there now...*sigh*..

[jimincairns]

@jimincairns I just did the ol' google thing. The pub is still there.

[SteffanLlwyd]

@jimincairns Grubby suits me fine!  'Pubby Pubs' yeah! (Not corporate immitations.)

[ray3mondo]

Top song. Top video. Top upload.

[SteffanLlwyd]

Mmmm TIGHT outfit! Five star. I remember a girl dancing to this in school back in '69 and really getting into it. Her name escapes me for the minute, but she certainly could swing with it....

[SteffanLlwyd]

@SteffanLlwyd Obviously I got the date wrong. Must have been '71

[lotsayaoi]

that's my cousin Roy on the drums!! XD

[SteffanLlwyd]

@lotsayaoi Is it true what jimicairns says (above)?

[michaelpister]

My very first compact cassette recording, mic to radio speakers. Formative...

[budelke]

Wayback in the seventies I bought the 45 RPM single, still sounds great, became a nice hit in the Netherlands, so Rolling Home again

[pml458]

quality song, quality band, Quality Posting.!!

[rsensorat3]

These guys were better than their later incarnation: Ashton Gardner Dyke and Young

[angrysamoan666]

Nobody should tell these guys to fuck off, imho
