Wow! So happy to get your new transfer of “Don’t walk”. This song is so beautiful. I loved it since I discovered it back in 2018 thanks to you Paul 🙂
Thank You Paul Again.
I am liking these TBS singles so far. I missed these before. Cool artwork for this single.
Thanks Paul 🙂
I stand corrected, now we have the whole TBS collection! Thank you!!
There is one more coming tomorrow 🙂
DjPault i found this old cd maxi , your rip created 27 july 2008 , BELINDA CARLISLER – CIRKLE IN THE SAND.(CD MAXI SINGLE)(DjPault) i im your follower at 2010/
Wow, tons of comments from people who frequented the Houston club scene, apparently this song was promoted by a local radio DJ and it really caught on there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjgJ5EGrGOM
It was a huge regional hit in the central US Texas and Oklahoma I heard it many times at The Wreck Room in Oklahoma City.
Strange how these things go. Hard to believe that TBS didn´t become bigger. Yesterday´s post “Love Around” could have if not to say should have been a summer hit, and “Don´t Walk” is a really good song (imho) that should have put them on the map. What a disappointment for the band. But hey, we cherish their output after all those years. 🙂
It really is amazing that such a great band went totally unnoticed. Luckily we can still enjoy their output all these years later. 🙂
Great decision to bring back these previously posted singles. Paul, I’m really excited to make a CD with the bands output. They should have gone on to become bigger! Thank you.
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff that is a great idea 🙂
