All the versions are by Joey Negro and are on the same 12 RCA white demo One here but a tad pricey !!! https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/12-Inch/page2/3988/keep-on-pushing-love/#product If you buy the album you get the bonus of "your hearts in good hands" as well, although you may want to look for the 7" of that one because the 12" version drags on a bit.

Try posting in SALES instead of wants

Where did I say that ?

When you ask the question "where next, musically ?" to a forum such as this, you are inevitably going to get answers that are historically influenced. The majority of those questioned have a musical intolerance to anything that doesn't match their individual preference, comments such as , " you can't play reggae at a soul do", "no latin", "don't want funk played at a northern do" " I will never like Crossover" etc, etc! perfectly exemplify the point. When I first got involved with "Soul" music, aged 15 in 1969, the phrase "Northern Soul" hadn't been invented, "Crossover" meant getting to the other side of the road, and both, Ska /Reggae were played quite regularly at Soul events. The obsession that the "UK" scene has with labelling all the sub genres is, in my opinion what will eventually fracture it beyond repair. At the moment the recognized (as we know it) soul scene is treading water, it can't move forward because of the attitude "we want, what we want" and "were going to moan if I don't get it" , and it can't go back to how it was, because "that's not how life works" (unfortunately we only get one chance at being young) The European , and certain UK (not as we know them) soul events, are attended by mainly younger 25/35 year olds without "historic baggage" and nothing to prove, their primary objective is to have a good night out, whether its,Funk, Northern, Latin, R&B or Jazz that's on the playlist it doesn't really matter. So !!! Where Next ?..............stop taking it so seriously............... ditch the labels,get back to "SOUL MUSIC"................ smile, tap your toes and, if it really floats your boat missus............ have a dance !!!
