Albert is not a bad singer James not so much.

I saw Albert Lee along with Bill Wyman , Georgie Fame , and the rest of the Rhythm Kings at the City Hall a couple of years ago, best show I have seen at the City.

Don't know about James Burton's singing tho' his guitar work, to me was phenomenal. I wasn't a big fan of Elvis but James' guitar solo on 'Little Sister' remains one of the best , after almost 60 years since it was recorded. I believe he was an inspiration for Vic Flick too.

Yeah, Elvis had two very inspirational guitar players, Scotty Moore and later James Burton A good showcase for James is Roy Orbison, a black and white night, a fantastic live concert from the Coconut Grove in LA.Everybody on the stage was a musical celebrity and all the audience were movie stars etc You seem sure that it was JB on Little Sister and you could well be right, but I always thought Scotty played on that one as Rick Nelson was in his prime around that time and James was his best friend and his guitarist on all his hits.

I hadn't heard 'Little Sister' for over 30 years and was once in a pub in Sheffield around 1984 and this Elvis concert came on the T.V. As both those guitarists were on the stage at the same time it could have been either of them, so maybe I got mixed up.

Last time I saw Albert perform was on that Scotty Moore and friends special, and he sang a few Elvis numbers very well. Bill Wyman and his rhythm kings were on, as well as just about every top British guitarist around, Clapton, Gilmour, Knopfler, plus many more. Sheffield's own Chris Stainton was tinkling the ivories on a few numbers. Good stuff, it's on DVD, I got it a while ago. The show was done at Abbey Rd studios with a live audience.

just re read my original posting and it sure brought back a few memories to all--just to mention that Wilson Peck did have another shop at the far end of the moor-actually on London Rd----also Carol Deene (Norman) ran a pub in Thurnscoe area for years

Yes I believe Carol was from somewhere in the Rotherham/Barnsley coal belt area. Can I also point out, to the uninitiated and not yourself of course, that 'Norman' was Carol's big hit, and (Norman) didn't mean something else. And thanks for the memory.
