This was one of my FAVOURITE SHOWS back in the day!! Whatever Happened to............. Chris Forbes? Why I wonder you may ask, or even who tha beep is that?!!! LOL I was reminiscing on some TV shows I used to watch back in the day, (I still have stuff I taped on VHS!!!! LOL) and one of the shows was 'Solid Soul'. I did an internet search on the show, and came up with nothing, but did manage to track down Juliet Roberts in the process!!! It was shown on Channel 4 in the late 80's and was presented by Juliet Roberts & Chris Forbes. At the time, Juliet was in a group called 'Working Week' and Chris was a DJ/radio presenter (I think). I remember 'breaking my neck' to get home every Friday to watch 'Solid Soul' at 6.20pm on Channel 4!!! Apart from 'Top of the Pops' which was mainly 'pop' music (it was a novelty to see a Black singer/group on the show), back then 'Solid Soul' was the ONLY programme on our paltry 4 UK channels that was dedicated to soul/funk music! Funny enough, shortly before 'Solid Soul' we did have a UK version of 'Soul Train' that was presented by the one and only Jeffrey Daniels, which paved the way for 'Solid Soul', I guess, as it seemed to disappear after a few shows! 'Solid Soul' is responsible for moulding the foundation of my record collection!!! Back then I got £8.00 pocket money every week (which was a fortune in those days!!), and I would watch 'Solid Soul' on Friday evening, and spend £6.00 of it in 'Our Price' record shop in Lewisham precinct every Saturday!!!! LOL!!! LOL!!! 12" vinyl records were £2.49 or £2.79 depending on where the song charted! If it wasn't for that show I wouldn't have bought half the chunes I own!....OK not half, as the show wasn't on for years, but the show certainly introduced me to some chunes!! I remember buying 'You & Me Tonight' by Aurra & 'What You Gonna Do About It?' by Total Contrast, simply by hearing it for the first time the night before!!!!!!! Ahhhh........those were the days eh?!!! LOL.............. From my blog http://devantekid.spaces.live.com/blo...
