[Neil Rushton]

I am not involved with this but I do know about it.

My friend Glenn Gunton (Joe Boy) has been commisioned by Odeon to work on a DVD documentary about Northern Soul called "Keeps On Burning".

A major part of it will be a remastered version of the "This England" Wigan programme with previously unseen footage.Tony Palmer who directed the This England

programme was one of the people interviewed yesterday and Glenn tells me he was articulate and knowledgable. When asked why he had painted Wigan as so depressing and grey,Tony Palmer said because he thought Wigan was a depressied place at the time but when he got to the Casino and saw the dancers he understood what an important escape from reality the All-Nighters were.He did not come over patronising and everyone up North wears clogs etc.

Adey was interviewed at the 100 Club yesterday as was Norman Jopling (who is THE expert on the British Soul scene in the 60's), Ian Levine, Dave McAleer and Tony Blackburn. Tony talked about Radio One not liking him playing black music on the station in the 60's and said the reason he recorded his version (awful I know) of "I'll Do Anything" was that he was sent a Cameo Parkway demo on UK release and loved it right away. I believe he was there when Adey said on camera how he discovered the Polydor LP containing the track, so that was a nice bit of synergy.Tony said after recording the song he realised he should not be singing Soul songs!

Odeon also have rights to lots of 60's USA TV clips of Soul acts.This week Glenn got footage of Jamo Thomas singing "I Spy For The FBI" ,there's also Dionne Warwick doing "Love Is A Good Foundation" (the Sonday label that relesed the Leslie Uggams version was owned by Dionne), and 100 plus to choose from to go on the DVD, some as short clips and some in full.

Odeon have also got rights to UK TV ads from the period so there's things like a Ben Sherman commerical. And from USA telly ads there's the Jimmy Radcliffe sung commerical for a car, can't remember which one, which was so good everyone involved decided they should turn it into a record and that's why the tune was kept but the lyrics changed and "Breakaway" came to be recorded.

There's more interviews being filmed at The Twisted Wheel later this month.

Like I say I am just passing the info on and not involved but from what I have been told it will be done with authority and style. Odeon release various music DVDs and they thought Northern Soul would be interesting enough to do something with.

found this in an Obituary of Billy Preston

Preston, although he had not played rock'n'roll before, had no difficulty with the transition. Norman Jopling, then a young writer for Record Mirror, was sent, for his first assignment, to interview Little Richard. "He was in this seedy hotel room with two single beds and Billy Preston was in the other one," Jopling said. "I had no idea what Little Richard was like, but when he started stroking my cheeks, the penny dropped."
