    due to requests, have upped the forum out of 'archives' and back to the main line up while titled event playlists, would say that doesn't have to be full on event lists, am sure that say 5/7/10 plays etc etc or even plays from not so normal event formats be of interest

    Van McCoy - "Sing Yeah, Sing" / "Wait Till I Get You In My Arms" - (Soul Direction) SD016 Latest 45 from Soul Direction is coming soon, billed available right now to pre-order with the release date being 22nd April 2023 Release and sleeve notes follow below... Van McCoy is well known on the soul scene with his name being credited on so many great songs and for most people he has already gained the status of a “Legend”. The "Sing Yeah Sing" acetate was discovered by Kev Roberts in 1977 when he cleaned out April Blackwood publishing's office. As far as we can recall, he went on to sell it to Jim Wensiora, and since changed hands a couple of times since. The Acetate of "Wait Till I Get You In My Arms" came via a UK collector and resides in the collection of Alan Kitchener. This of course being a demo take of the Major Lance track which backs the Iconic "You Don't Want Me No More" and a version by Kenny Carlton on his Blue Rock release "Lost and Found" penned by Van himself. Soul Direction are proud to bring you two unreleased tracks from the legendary Singer, songwriter and producer Van McCoy. Van McCoy - "Sing Yeah, Sing" / "Wait Till I Get You In My Arms" - (Soul Direction) SD016 Pre Order Date - 31st March 2023 for delivery on or before 22'° April 2023. Van's musical venture started when his brother, Norman, Jr. and a few high school buddies formed a street corner singing group called the Starlighters. Van became the lead singer, writer, and music director for the group. They quickly moved from school programs and talent shows to recording their first 45rpm single, The Bird land, named for a popular dance of the late 50s. The group appeared on stage in Washington, D.C. at the Howard Theatre, and in Philadelphia at the Royal plus The Apollo in NY. Vi Burnsides, a musician from the famous Sweethearts of Rhythm all female band, took the Starlighters with her to enhance her performance tours on the east coast corridor. This gave them their first exposure to audiences in theatres and stages in major cities away from home. The Starlighters ended as military draft, marriage and college called them away one by one.Van, who had entered Howard University, left after two years, and moved to Philadelphia, then later to New York, to begin a serious music career. The late Reginald Morrison, a local building contractor and relative of a Starlighter backed his first solo music venture and later Jocko Henderson, a popular Philadelphia Disc Jockey, was the first to play Van's records and later formed Vanda Record label with Van. Van was hired by the late Florence Greenberg as a staff writer at Scepter Records. He worked with Messrs. Lieber and Stoller and with writer/producer, Clyde Otis. David Kapralik, A&R at Columbia Records, hired Van as a songwriter with April Blackwood Music. Van wrote hits for Chad and Jeremy, Ruby and the Romantics, Irma Thomas, Nancy Wilson, Barbara Lewis and others. He also formed the original Peaches and Herb duo. Impressed with the smooth and mellow quality of Van's own voice, Columbia's famed, "Mitch Miller," produced an album of beautiful ballads sung by Van McCoy. Nighttime is Lonely Time, is now a collector's item. Van continued with his real love, writing, and producing music for other artists. He wrote for Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Roberta Flack, Vikki Carr, Tom Jones, Nina Simone, Jackie Wilson, Gloria Lynn, Brenda and the Tabulations, Nat Cole, Melba Moore, Stacey Lattisaw, David, The Shirelles, Chris Bartley, Chris Jackson, and the list goes on-and-on.

Van formed the Soul City Symphony orchestra, and with singers Faith, Hope and Charity, produced several albums and gave many performances. In 1975 he recorded the Grammy nominated Disco Baby album with the Grammy winning, gold single, The Hustle. The Disco explosion of the mid-70s propelled Van and the Hustle into a worldwide tour. Van McCoy was overwhelmed by the sudden burst of stardom and life in the fast lane. He never got back to the mellow life and fun career he had so dearly cherished. The 39-year-old star was stricken with heart failure in his fashionable home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey and died July 6, 1979, at Englewood General Hospital.

He went on to sell it to Jim Wensiora and changed hands a couple of times since. The Acetate of "Wait till I Get You In My Arms" came via a UK collector. There have always been comparisons with Chris Bartley but we are pretty certain that Van McCoy is behind the microphone and that was confirmed by Van McCoy Music Inc. This of course being a demo take of the Major Lance track which backs the Iconic "You Don't Want Me No More" and a version by Kenny Carlton on his Blue Rock release "Lost and Found" penned by Van himself.

    More information about "Greg Wilson’s Discotheque Archives - Extended Hardback Version (2023)"
    Greg Wilson’s Discotheque Archives - Extended Hardback Version (2023) A recent release that may be of interest In January 2023, Discotheque Archives will be made available as an extended hardback. It includes 20 extra sections, with additional DJs, records, venues and labels, which fill in some of the gaps from the original series, and comes complete with a number of new Pete Fowler DJ illustrations, plus a comprehensive index that lists around 750 records referenced in the book’s pages. Having originally unfurled as a monthly series for DJ Magazine, Discotheque Archives was first issued in book form two years ago, during lockdown, as a limited run paperback. The hope was that it would sell 250 copies, with a best-case scenario target of 500, but the response exceeded all expectations and the final amount swelled to 1600 in a matter of weeks. Putting a cap on things at this point, the intention has since been to extend the book for future publication. Purchase and more information via a tap of the below link https://superweirdsubstance.com/product/greg-wilson-discotheque-archive-extended/ TO KNOW THE FUTURE, FIRST YOU MUST KNOW THE PAST By nature of the scene, dance music is very forward-looking: DJs always pursuing the next record to break, venues pushing the boundaries with sound and lighting techniques, label's seeking out the latest artist to emerge and musicians/producers continually moving the sound forward in new directions. The past is of course constantly referenced and drawn from, but this hasn't been enough to prevent the scene often disconnecting from its roots. Through a series of concise articles, which first appeared in a monthly DJ Mag column, Discotheque Archives explores the pre-rave era of dance music. Placing focus on classic DJs, venues, records and labels to celebrate the giants of dance culture and illuminate its forgotten characters. Written from the personal perspective of Greg Wilson, with countless first-hand experiences within the developments of the scene, the story begins, in the 1960s, over a decade before he took to the decks, where the foundations were laid by a series of trailblazers. With the scene set, most of the book focuses on the following decades, as mixing took root with the DJ community, initially in '70s New York, whilst advancing technology plateaued with an explosion of underground electronic experimentation in the '80s, the narrative finishing up just ahead of the much-told story about the rave explosion greg-wilson.mp4

    A lengthy Billy Valentine Interview can be had on the Guardian Website Clip and link below “I just want to make a difference,” Valentine adds. “I had to get this stuff out of my gut, and say what needs to be said in a way that could change someone’s mind, someone’s attitude, or just make them stop and think.” Having rediscovered his voice singing the protests of others, he’s begun working on songs of his own once again tapping into the protest song tradition that made his name four decades ago. Billy Valentine’s time, it seems, has come again. “My work’s not done,” he nods. “I still have more songs I want to sing, social commentary things, if it’s meant to be. I’m a vocalist, and just like a runner has to run, a singer has to sing.” Billy Valentine and the Universal Truth is out now via Acid Jazz https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/mar/27/im-a-messenger-thats-my-calling-80s-hitmaker-billy-valentine-on-his-socially-conscious-comeback
