[RaananVolesPianist]

Great song! I'll never forget--I was working in a record store and this was playing. One of the other clerks asked me what the song was. I said, "She Blew a Good Thing!" The other guy answered, "Yeah, my ---!"

Timeless classic .. got my copy from Contempo/Blues and Soul in London around 1971 ...

[Sheven718]

@57bananaman hey ! you brought back memories talking about contempo it was in a small narrow road off oxford st, i think it was called hanway st ? upstairs ? if i remember rightly, they're label was called contempo raries, i bought quite a few there, regards dave

I first heard this song over 30 years ago on Harvey Holliday's Sunday night oldies show on WDAS here in Philly. It's a great song.

Billchew: I loved the Geator and Hy Lit. Sadly, Hy Lit passed away three years ago.

[billchew450]

Much to my disappointment, I have not as of yet been to Great Britain. I find the Northern Soul response to this song very interesting. As a Philly guy who listened to this tune through the Geator, Hy Lit, and Butterball,

here I thought this came from Philly!

[Meridian83West]

A great tune that I haven't heard in over 40 years! I can't help but notice that some of the copies of the record shown have Juggy Murray listed as co-writer. Murray produced the song and was the founder of Sue Records (Symbol Records' parent company).

[tljones9]

@Meridian83West from what I have read that was a standard in the music industry.......owners of the record companies in the '50s and '60s gave themselves and radio jocks a songwriting credit even though they never wrote a note or lyric on the song just because the owner signed the artist, or the radio dj would play the song on the air...of course all that changed after the payola scandal of the 50s

[parogee]

WOW! this one takes me way back home, I mean way back.

[DIRTYDUNNZ]

can you say "double entendre"

[Meridian83West]

@DIRTYDUNNZ Funny you should mention that. When this tune was out (1966) I was at the age when kids discover how much attention you can get from knowing a dirty joke, and I remember how kids at school used to snicker at the title of this song!

[daisylu10]

Brill tune from Blackpool Mecca days - I used to fall asleep on the back of a scooter coming home in the early days - remember sliding off a couple of times!!

Those were the days!

[Tacotrampis]

This songs just makes me want to dance dance dance----

[jam1966ful]

I used to have this on a studio acetate, sounded great. Still does.

[group4taker]

Great favourite.....sparked a connection way back when........

[sapphiretaurus]

I remember hearing this on the radio when I was 15, in 1996. I knew a good song, even then. Thanks for the memory!

[ginger4603]

bloody brill xx

[evothehems]

Its 4am At The Nighter And This Comes On...

[2504marcus]

@evothehems what year, the late 60s mate , that was the time. this and frances nero, magic.

[bigsixxraven]

My late aunt would play this song all of the time. Whenever I hear her singing this song, I knew another divorce was in the horizon! lol

[sexymama1966]

i wanted to get into a go-go cage for this one...excellent:)

[bangzoom77]

A great song!

[jacqui4elvis]

just hit me as i listened to this tonight, my ex husband could be singing this to me!!!!, and guess what he is right, "i blew a good thing"!!!

[docludi]

Jacqui4elvis. We have all made errors in this life journey. There would be no Soul music without it. I simply note to your credit, the honest and open regret.

[jacqui4elvis]

Docludi, thank you so much for your kind words, i really appreciate them, sad thing is, this happened 20 yrs ago, but one amazing thing is, i have found a different kind of love, the love for my daughter, who is 10 yrs old now, and i wouldnt have her, if we hadnt split up, she is my soul, my life, my heaven, and i would still take the same road, as long as i have her, but i still miss my ex husband, who will always be the love of my life. i appreciate your comments thank you

[Blackpool77]

One of the true classics of Mod Manchester that was the backbone to the approaching Northern Soul movement of the late 1960s- unbelievable !!!

[Jaynesoul]

Superb

[djdeitch]

What a classic Northern Soul track this is,its got me thinking of those long long nights at Wigam Stoke The Touch & not forgetting The Blackpool Mecca(Highland Room),.ktf.

[sandfordway]

I know what you mean bro, but I bet they'd seem even longer now. As long as they don't serve cocoa, I'd be alright till about 2.00am. Lol.

[djdeitch]

And after 2am,i dont know about you but i`d be droping something 2 keep me going if you get my drift??,.ktf.

[JackMDT8888]
