Few words and playlist from last Albrighton niter from CSC Dj and man behind the fine Anoracks Corner Website, David Flynn Next up at 2am was my bad-self on my first deck duty there. Well, below is my play list and as you can see I treated em to the kinda tracks that get the Dome dance-floor bouncing. I was particularly pleasing to receive requests for some of the emerging tracks Im playing...kinda makes it all worth while! :-) Must admit that the dance-floor didnt respond to every tune and the surprise fillers were Bobby Reed and Johnny Maestro...but then again why am I surprised as they are top tunes?! The Precious Three went down well, as it should as did Donna Loren...both tunes Im gonna be pushing all the way! I had the pleasure of handing over the mic to the Worlds #1 NS deejay, Butch, and he rammed the floor for most of his set (well they did have a rest during my spot and were recovering after Dave Rimmers before me! ;-) ), spinning Betty Wilson, Patrinell Staten, the awesome Jean Carter c/up (I NEED THIS RECORD!), Temptones (stating that hes been spinning it for 15 years now!) and a host of his other monsters! Big up Tait & Lin for giving me such a warm welcome and the opportnity to deejay at one of my fav NS venues BETTY LOU & BOBBY ADAMS - DR.TRUELOVE - TRAX JIMMIE & ENTERTAINERS - NEW GIRL - TODDLIN TOWN CARL UNDERWOOD - AINT YOU LYING - MERGING BENNY SPELLMAN - THIS ONES FOR YOU MY LOVE - ALON THE JOKERS - SOUL SOUND - SKOFIELD MARVA JOSIE - LATER FOR YOU BABY - TIME SEPTEMBER JONES - GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR LOVE - UNISSUED PIED PIPER GERRI DIAMOND - ONLY YOU (CAN FEEL THE LOSE) - COUNTERPART DONNA LOREN - BLOWING OUT THE CANDLES - CAPITOL BERNARD HARPER - IM NOT GONNA LOSE IT - ACTION SOUL INC. - MY PROPOSAL - COCONUT GROOVE OXFORD NIGHTS - IM SUCH A LONELY ONE - DELPHI GARY DEAN - YOU CAN SAY - YOUNG TYRONE ASHLEY - I WANT MY BABY BACK (ALT.TAKE) - ACETATE PRECIOUS THREE - I NEED A MAN - REFOREE BOBBY REED - THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR LOVE - BELL SEPTEMBER JONES - IM WITH YOU - UNISSUED PIED PIPER HAYES COTTON - BLACK WINGS HAVE MY ANGEL - RESIST DORIS SMITH - NO GOOD GUY - LIMELIGHT RODD KEITH & THE RAINDROPS - LIKE THE LORD SAID - PREVIEW SIDNEY BARNES - SAFETY ZONE - JOBETE ACETATE THE DEADBEATS - NO SECOND CHANCE - STRATA GREATER EXPERIENCE - DONT FORGET TO REMEMBER - COLONY 13 JOHNNY MAESTRO & CRESTS - IM STEPPING OUT OF THE PICTURE - SCEPTER

LIVONIA -- In the pine-paneled rumpus room of a nondescript brick house in a sleepy suburb, the worlds greatest basement band is kicking some serious butt.You know these musicians, even if you never knew their names: the Funk Brothers, as they called themselves, were the uncredited studio band that laid down the intricate, funky grooves for Diana, Smokey, Marvin, Tammi, Martha and the rest of Berry Gordys stable. Weve heard it for years -- Pistol Allens infectious shuffle on "Baby Love," Ivy Hunters funky keyboard intro on "Pride and Joy," drummer Uriel Jones urgent beat on "Aint No Mountain High Enough." For 15 years, a slightly changing cast of Funk Brothers plied their trade in tiny Studio A in the back of 2648 W. Grand Blvd., coming up with the goods over and over for producers ike Smokey Robinson, Norman Whitfield, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Ashford and Simpson, and the boss, Gordy. Their reign ended abruptly in 1972. Now, thanks to the persistence and heart of a 48-year-old, self-described "bar mitzvah" musician from New Jersey, the Funk Brothers will swing again, in a documentary being filmed in locations around Detroit next month . -

Legendary Soul singer, Betty Everett, passed away in her home in Beloit Wisconsin over the weekend. Her body was found by her family on Sunday. Cause of death has yet to be determined. Born in Greenwood Mississippi on November 23, 1939, Betty Everett is remembered primarily for one huge hit in the 60s, but she was also one of the very best soul singers and actually recorded many songs. Starting at age nine she played the piano and sang in church. She continued to sing in gospel choirs, and eventually moved to Chicago in 1957. While there she continued to sing. She recorded songs on some of the local Chicago labels such as C.J., Cobra and OneDerful in the late 50s and early 60s, coming up with local hits such as Ill Be There and Ive Got A Claim On You. She signed a contract with VeeJay, a label that was issuing some hits by the Beatles at around the same time. Her release of "Youre No Good" just missed the top fifty late in 1963 and was covered in the UK by the Swinging Blue Jeans. Then she hit big. Betty Everett recorded "The Shoop Shoop Song [its In His Kiss]" in the Spring of 1964 and it soared to Billboards Top-10. Other records, such as "I Cant Hear You" and "Getting Mighty Crowded" extended her fan base. She then did a duet with another prominent Chicago-area singer, Jerry Butler, and their single, "Let It Be Me" also made the top ten that year. Other Betty Everett/Jerry Butler duets came along, such as their single "Smile" and their LP "Delicious Together." Betty Everett made a wildly successful tour of England in the mid-60s in support of these releases. After Vee Jay folded in 1967, Betty went to ABC without success before coming back on Uni in 1969 with "Therell Come A Time," her last top forty hit. This song was her first entry in the soul charts where it went to number two. Betty had five more entries in the soul charts on Uni and Fantasy by 1971. "Youre No Good" was covered by Linda Lewis in 1975 and went top ten in the UK, and went to number one in the United States in a version released by Linda Ronstadt. The song that Betty Everett is remembered for, however, is one that everybody knew in 1964, "The Shoop Shoop Song [its In His Kiss]." Betty most recently appeared on DOO WOP 51 (PBS) with Jerry Butler. It was her last public performance.

Northern Souls Classiest Rarities CDKEND192 Adey admits in his introduction that there isnt one outstanding label or theme to this compilation, other than it simply being a bunch of NS tunes that Ace/Kent have had kicking around for ages but had yet to Utilise...nothing wrong with that! Every NS fan will find plenty theyd like within the 24 tracks for sure, as it covers many a soul-genre which all go to make up the wide and varied Rare Soul scene in the year 2001. Most folk will be pleased to see a couple of ex Casino Searling spins, Mr.Souls "What happened to yesterday", and The Imaginations "Strange neighbourhood", or "Maurice McAllister" and "Ray Pollard & The Wanderers" as they were first spun as! Plenty of dancefloor favourites from the 80s and 90s scenes as well, with Eddie Whiteheads "Just your fool", the jazz tipped Karmello Brooks "Tell me baby", Jimmy Seals "Yesterday of our love" (or "The Moving Parts as Keb once named it!) and the striding New York City soul sound of The Diplomats "Cards on the table". One of todays surprising big spins has to be the C&W flavoured "Ill be all alone" from Barbara Redd. which has proved to be very popular for Alan Handscombe at The Dome in London over the last year or so, and gave birth to a new soul-genre, "Tumbleweed Soul!" From 72 is the beautifully polished "Yes Im in love" by the Unique Blend which has been an on off spin since the 70s, and if you like that youll probably already in love with the cross-over sound of The Joytones "This love", also included. Kent also treat us to a few previously unissued tracks, the way they do, with The Delfonics, "Youll get enough", Bettye Swanns belting uptempo version of "I think Im falling in love", and finally Audrey Matthews (daughter of Johnnie Mae) version of "I have no choice" ..brilliant discoveries, and what we all love Kent for! For lovers of the earlier 60s sounds, The Rockmasters "Raining teardrops" (sharing the same backing track as The Sapphires "Who do you love", and championed by Scotlands Keith Money) and Joe Simons skippy and light "I see your face" should satisfy, as should Charlie Richs big beat ballad, "Dont tear me down" and Johnny Wyatts Popcorn favourite, "I wouldnt change a thing about you". Other tracks include, The Millionaires "And the rains came" (beautiful), Charles Lamonts "Ive got to keep movin" (never really lives up to its strong intro), Claude Hueys "Why would you blow it" (superb), Pat Powdrills "Do it" (too fast, still!), Denita James "I have feelings too" (inferior to its 45 flip, "Wild side"), Lil Bobs version of Billy Blands "My heart is on fire" (highly recommended ex Keb spin), and a couple from the Elf label, Clifford Currys "Aint no danger" (flip to "I cant get a hold of myself") and Dan Folgers "The way of the crowd" (popular cross-over from the last few years), and thats it.......another fine NS CD compilation from Kent that belongs on most soul fans shelves!
