Thanks for the completed lists - much appreciated.
Thanks to ‘Entre les Oreilles’ for the additional information. After further research I would make the following comments:
1 The first song by Spencer Wiggins. Although I do not know the song ‘You’re My Kind Of Woman’ (one side of a 1973 XL single), unless it is the same song as ‘The Kind Of Woman, That’s Got No Heart (one side of a 1966 Goldwax single), I still believe that it was the latter which he performed, as he clearly sang the words ‘You’re the kind of woman that’s got no heart’.
2 Vaneese Thomas. According to my notes Vaneese’s first song on the Friday was ‘I Can’t Stand The Rain’. ‘Use Me’ and ‘What’s Going On’ were sung by the support band Soul Spinner before Vaneese came on stage.
3 I have since learned that Spencer Wiggins’ final song on Saturday was ‘Something Within Me’, a gospel song written by Lucie Campbell.
4 I have also noticed that when I typed out the Sam Cooke medley performed by Percy Wiggins on the Friday, I omitted ‘Chain Gang’ which preceded ‘Wonderful World’.
Hopefully, apart from the one missing Vaneese Thomas song, we have now combined to produce an accurate record of each artist’s set list at Porretta.
