HOMEMADE PIES and THE DRAMATICS

Following on from my Last Life Post, Around the Period I was Working at "King's Casino" I Started Doing some Work, to Earn Extra Money, by Making Homemade Pies and Salads for Shops, Butchers, etc etc.


I used to Make Cornish Pasties, Sausage Rolls and All sorts of Different Pies, as well as Ready Mixed Salad Stuffs, i.e Mixed Salads in Sealed Bowls, Coleslaw, Potato Salad etc etc, Nowadays places like Asda and Tesco Sell Plenty of these Pre-Packed Salads, but in the Early to Mid 80's, you never saw this in Supermarket's!

I had 2 Main Customer's on a Weekly Basis, they were a Fish & Chip Shop in Town and The Head Waiter at "King's Casino" had a Butcher's Shop in the nearby Village of "Acle"  


The Butcher was Easy to Sort out as he used to come round once a Week to Collect the Pies and Paid when He did, but the Fish & Chip was a bit Harder, I at this time Still only had my "Racer Bike"

So I used to get "Nathan" on the Crossbar of the "Bike" and we used to pedal there, it was about 2 Miles away, so quite a Journey with all those Pies/Salads & Nathan.


The Money from this Little Venture came in very Handy and Worthwhile at that time, and was to Lead on to Further Work, a little later on in my Life!

================================================================

As for some Music, a Single released back in 1975, and would be in my Top 20 Soul singles of All-Time, it was by the Great Soul Vocal Group The Dramatics, the Track was Called "(I'm Going by) the Stars In Your Eyes"


What a Great Song this was and still is, Sweet Soul Music at it's Best!

It was from The Dramatics 5th Studio Album Entitled "The Dramatic Jackpot" it was also their First of  6 Albums to be Released on the ABC Record Label.

The Single Reached Number 81 on the US Pop Chart and Number 22 on the US R&B Chart.

Cover of The Dramatics

The Dramatics Line-Up around this Period was: Ron Banks, LJ Reynolds, Willie Ford, Larry" Squirell" Demps and Lenny Mayes. 




The Writer of the Track was Tony Hester, He Wrote some Great Tracks for Various Different Artist's, including Johnnie Taylor, The Dells, Luther Ingram and The Platters, it was Produced by Don Davis. 


The Lyrics:

Sagittarius, Virgo maybe Scorpio
I wouldn't care if you were Aquarius
I'm still in love with you
As sure as you were born
you could be Gemini
or even if you were a Capricorn
I could never let you go


Chorus:
O I ain't going by those stars in the sky
I'm going by those stars in your eyes
and I love you
O I don't need a second look
Cause you're what's happening in my book
and I love you


Taurus, Leo, Pisces
It makes no difference, girl
if you're in love with me


O that's all I need to know
I will give all my heart and all my love
and I don't care about the stars
my love just grows and grows


Cause I ain't going by those stars in the sky
I'm going by those stars in your eyes
I don't give a heck
about that old Zodiac
because it's what's in your heart
girl that's where it's at and I love you
I need you, I need you I don't need a second look
cause you're what's happening in my book
(Repeat)
