Dave Godin. A Northern Soul - Stephen Stevlor. £29.99 In stock at A Nickel And A Nail Dave Godin: a man who needs little introduction to the soul music community. Author Stephen Stevlor presents a biographical account of Godin, commencing with his discovery of R&B in the 1950s as a teenager and his connection with the Rolling Stones. Godin would go on to pursue a number of different directions related to his beloved musical genre, such as his appointment as Tamla Motown's UK representative, as owner of the Soul City record store and label, literary contributions to Blues & Soul, Black Music and Soulful Kinda Music, and latter day collaborations with Ace / Kent Records on the Deep Soul Treasures series. Stevlor tells the story of the man and his music, as well as Dave Godin's other personal interests in politics and civil rights.

No worries Chris, as Dave says I think most of us thought that, and it was a reasonable assumption. Unfortunately, Willie is not around any more to confirm, though I wonder if his brother James (a saxophonist....) is, to throw some light on the yarn. Might pursue this one at some point, unless someone gets there first.

Hi Chris, never denied it could be; I only reported Charles Harris' recollection which could be faded or false memory (I did double check with him). And I know the Mike Terry issue comes up frequently. But other than Mike's familiar style and the recording circumstances of course, did Mike or anyone else who worked with him ever directly refer to the recordings?
