Tony Turner Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 .........but I've just played Wayne Fontana-Something Keeps Calling Me Back for the first time in many years and it sounded great. What is the history of this tune on the scene? Tin helmet on. TT

The one you mention was also done by 'Northern Soul Inc.' (or something like that) in the 70's.

The one you mention was also done by 'Northern Soul Inc.' (or something like that) in the 70's. I was just gonna say that! - on Polydor wasn't it? absolutely horrid version. As for My Eyes... was that on the flip of the US MGM issue of Something Keeps Calling or were they two seperate issues?
