Sunnysoul

Thanks Sebastian although I didn't mean to imply that they are the same recording .

Also released as a 7" by the Trends on ABC

I find it staggering that people still do not accept that the pre '71 scene at clubs like the Wheel or the Catacombs or a number of other clubs for that matter was not a fully formed "northern soul scene". Having said that, I do respect that people can and do have the opposite view ... as expressed earlier in this thread ... and I'm happy to leave it at that and not hi-jack this topic which is not about the genesis of the northern soul scene. The issue has been debated several times before over the years on Soul Source. But feel free to start a new separate topic on the genesis of the "northern soul scene" and we can debate it all over again!

Artic ... Soungd .... LOL !!!

If Magic Corner was released in 1967 then perhaps the song's writers should be suing the estates of Eugene Record and Sonny Sanders (Soulful Strut/Am I The Same Girl) for copyright infringement ...

Lillian Dupree's daughter Deshan Jones on her facebook page has a photo of her mom whom she calls "Lillie Mae" ...

This you tube video of Hide & Seek has the following comment about Lillian Dupree from Deshan Jones: "Deshan Jones : 6 years ago : Thanks Mr. Soul, this is my mother!! She taught me the music love." And judging from her youtube profile, her daughter Deshan appears to be a very talented vocalist and guitarist carrying on her mother's Detroit soul tradition ...

Hugh Boynton ‎– We're Gonna Make It right up there as well ...

Did he ever appear live in the UK or Europe on the back of Janice and his seventies dancers on Abet ?

What is a little contradictory is that Dim's review states that: " The Truth About Northern Soul' is Stephen Riley's analysis of the Scene, warts and all, from it's early days and on to the beast it has become in the 2020's " ... yet the rear cover of the book itself refers to the scene as a " 1970's club scene " ??? Isn't it a scene that had it's genesis in the 60's and has continued unabated to the present day ?

cash waitin' people !

Virtues - Doin It ( Andee) = the instrumental track to Prince Johnny Robinson / Anne Byers - That Girl / Man Is Rated X

The promo information was overlaid, rather than stamped, but exactly how they did it, i'm not quite sure.

They did in Australia Dave !

Someone must want to sell this 🙂

Wanted : the original 7" US release ... not the Japanese re-issue. Thanks

The world still awaits an official vinyl release of Sharon McMahon's version ...

yeah must admit the dance lessons bit was naff ...

At the risk of being accused of lacking a sense of humour, it all looks pretty cool ... so, not sure what the issue is . And Mallorca sure beats Blackpool doesn't it ?

Great record from 1973, Gene Barge produced, recorded at Ter Mar Studios in Chicago, anyone care to speculate who was in this Drifters line-up and who sang lead ? The Drifters "The Struggler" (Steeltown)

Except that Bill Millar makes the oft-repeated and wholly incorrect assumption that Ben Aiken (of Loma and Phily Groove fame) was white ...

Probably quite a few ... he had a complete LP released in the UK and US in 1972 which, despite a number of Leon Ware composed songs, comes across as soft, folksy pop ...

Anyone have this for sale ?

And in the years after the gold label issue surfaced, one lost track of the number of apparently "OVO" events where DJ's played the gold label record as an "original" ... or on the basis that it was a legit second issue ...

Credit to you Mal because you put me on to the right people to get one 👍
