Description
Rick Brown was a local legend in the music circles of Southampton and much has been written about his amazing Rock and Soul career as the front man of Rick And The Hi-Lites alongside his twin brother, Chris, during the ‘60s and 70s. Their farewell concert took place at The Mayflower Theatre on May 20, 1988 and is still talked about today. My memories of Rick, however, are much later than that – at a time when his performances were limited to only making the odd guest appearance in pubs, clubs and private wedding receptions, but, even so, it is my great honour and a privilege to sit down and relay a few short stories about Rick which I hope offers a more personal perspective on his later life as a friend, fellow creative artist and long-time ‘brother-in-arms’ Southampton F.C. supporter. Rick’s voice was simply amazing and it is true that, as an Indian who was born with an inherent love of Soul Music his cultural mix is, indeed, a strange combination. But, at the same time, I cannot recall hearing anyone sing Stand By Me better than the ‘legendary front man’ himself, or, as I always affectionately called him, Indian Rick.
JB –
A lovely and fitting tribute to a local legend. The thought provoking story behind the friendship is proof that ‘truth is stranger than fiction’.
Susan Shayler –
A lasting friendship forged through a tragedy.
Reading this made me realise these two men were put together for a purpose.
Closure for a soul in pain.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for your kind words.
This is very much a ‘blog on a budget’ and, as such, I try to keep costs to a minimum, so as to donate as much as possible to the UK Firefighters’ Charity. WordPress is free to set up (apparently). Also, I have heard good things about ‘Go Daddy’, but have not tried it. Hope this helps!
Good luck in whatever you seek to achieve!
Kindly,
JD
