Melksham (Tuesday 20th February 2018)

I did a kind of shopping tour this morning, including calling at Waitrose, and took the opportunity to walk up the River Avon and see the ducks and swans (see Extra). Signs of Spring included budding daffodils and these young fruits that I assume to be crabapples. I'm including these in the Tiny Tuesday challenge, with thanks to mindful_life for hosting. I believe the week's optional theme is "Sharp", which these certainly would be if one tried to eat any.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Dusty Springfield - Ain't no sun since you've been gone (recorded January-July 1968, London)
I heard this in the car on the way home when Stuart Maconie played it and was struck how much of a geat Northern Soul sound it had. Dusty's band the Echoes were augmented by the Ivor Raymonde Orchestra and a chorus of Lesley Duncan, Madeline Bell and Kay Garner.
It was written by Norman Whitfield, Cornelius Grant and Sylvia Moy for the Temptations' album The Temptations With A Lot Of Soul in 1967 and was subsequently covered by other Motown artists such as Gladys Knight, Diana Ross and Chuck Jackson.
Dusty's version was re-arranged and conducted by John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin and he plays bass guitar on the record. It came out on the album Dusty... ...Definitely, which Dusty co-produced with Johnny Franz.
