The COVID-19 measures have left the Rare Soul scene littered with cancelled events and the faithful following home alone at the weekends; so the Bury Town Hall team have decided to launch a ‘virtual’ all-nighter.
The show will be broadcast over internet radio every Saturday while we’re under lockdown from 21:00 until the early hours of Sunday morning.
The format will be just like a real event with a selection of DJs from previous and upcoming all-nighters at Bury Town Hall selecting their spots, carefully in order, from actual records they own to keep it real.

You can join us at https://www.radioking.com/radio/soulallniter and we also hope to be posting links for use with iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp, Real Player & Quick Time in the near future.
Please note - The radio link above is only 'live' while the show is 'live'

We hope you enjoy the show and it goes some way to filling the void and lifting your spirits

HAYLEY RECORDS 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY 2000 - 2020

Album release ‘Detroit. My home town’ VARIOUS ARTISTS HRLP 1001.

As part of our 20 year celebrations, Hayley Records is proud to announce the release of our first ever 12” long playing vinyl album, ‘Detroit. My home town’.
The album features a selection of Hayley 7” single releases from JJ BARNES, THE STYLISTS, TONY HESTER, DEON JACKSON, SHARON McMAHAN, JIMMY DELPHS, BOBBY SHEPPARD, THE PERFECTIONS and GILFORD & SCRUGGS plus three previously un- issued gems from the United Sound Systems and Golden World vaults.
‘All over and done’ by JIMMY GILFORD was intended for release on THELMA RECORDS in 1966 but never made the cut. It’s infectious up tempo beat, supplied by various members of the Funk Brothers collective, gives it immediate dance floor appeal.
‘It’s not what you say (but how you say it)’ by the ever popular ROSE BATTISTE adds to her catalogue of top quality releases. Recorded at Golden World studio on Davison Avenue with Mike Terry and the rest of the studio players, it jumps off the vinyl with inspiration and soulfulness.
The third previously unreleased tune will be familiar to Detroit collectors and aficionados from it’s release by Tommy Neal, but this is ‘Goin’ to a happening’ at the originally intended, slightly faster speed, without Neal’s lead vocal. ‘Popcorn’ Wylie and sound engineers Ed Wolfrum and Danny Dallas provide the male backing vocal parts with Pat and Diane Lewis singing the angelic female shrills. Together, we call them ‘POPCORN’ WYLIE and the UNITED SOUND SINGERS.
Initial response to the release has been fantastic. Look out for reviews in Soul Up North and Blues & Soul magazines and a featured spot by Richard Searling on his Solar radio show.

‘AIN’T THAT SOMETHING’

PRESALE | Aladean Kheroufi - Sorry If I Hurt You b/w Nothing Ever Changes (KIM-005)
We have a new release, it's a fusion of minimalist soul / fuzz. A catchy A side with a floating island ballad on the flip. It won't appeal to everyone, the B side 'Nothing Ever Changes' has something about it and seems to fit with current times, in that whilst in uncertain, sad times, there is a sense of hope and optimism for the future as we discover our fragility and the need to work together selflessly if we are to survive.
The Estimation's 2nd release also out in a few weeks time (it's a really good one).
Here's the low down on Kimberlite release KIM005. Youtube links at bottom.
Aladean Kheroufi - Sorry If I Hurt You b/w Nothing Ever Changes
This brand new release from Kimberlite Records features Aladean Kheroufi with the instantly catchy, danceable number 'Sorry If I Hurt You'. But wait!, flip it over to hear 'Nothing Ever Changes' and you are whisked away on a beautiful lush meditation. It's sparse arrangement of simple vocals and caressing horns provide a blanket of warmth through a journey of reflection and realisation.
As a lover of soul music it can be tough to lift your head from boxes of fifty year old 45s. From the iron-hand of Berry Gordy in Detroit to amphetamine-zonked working class kids in the North of England, to harmonizing Tejanos, and California car culture, soul music is a genre of subgenres each requiring nuance to properly understand. It’s intoxicating and addictive.
If you’re reading this though, you’ve picked up something different. Aladean Kheroufi, a Canadian by way of Algeria has got something new to show you. His sparse, minimalist sound is a fresh and contemporary examination of soul music which we’re proud to press to vinyl.
The A side, Sorry If I Hurt You, is a sober exploration of guilt, victimhood, and the toxic power dynamics found in failed relationships. Syncopated rhythm, cutting fuzz guitar, and haunting background vocals along with Aladean’s breathy delivery give this side an atmosphere you’ll need an oxygen tank to survive.
Flip the disc and you’ve got Nothing Ever Changes, a superficially sullen ballad that probes for meaning in self, relationships, and a place in the world. A delicate trumpet and flute arrangement lift the tone of this side from a place of darkness to one of hope, and conveys the spiritual growth that's found when such themes are analysed.
Release Date: 27th March 2020

E. Mark Windle, March 2020.

Among other genres, Elvis Presley was informed by the blues. Even as a young teenager, the songs he heard on Beale Street were a source of significant musical inspiration. And it would not be unreasonable to suggest that his interpretation of Arthur Crudup’s blues number “That’s All Right” helped kick-start the teenage rock ‘n’ roll revolution. But if that’s true, then “Hound Dog” provided the pace. It was almost inevitable that Elvis’ take on the song, which sold ten million copies worldwide, would overshadow the original version and the story of the woman who originally recorded it.
“Big Mama” Thornton was a fiercely independent woman; sometimes described as intimidating because of her physical frame and demeanour. Her personality may well have been a result of nature and nurture, given her difficult childhood and early adult years. In the context of the 1950s for a black female singer to break from the gender stereotype and stand out in a male dominated industry, a no-nonsense disposition was surely essential. In many ways, Thornton was a pioneer.
Willie (born Willa) Mae Thornton was born in 1926 in the tiny rural town of Ariton, seventy miles from Montgomery, Alabama. This was a time when gender rights barely existed and racial oppression in the areas was the norm. She was first exposed to music via spirituals and gospel music at her father’s Baptist church, and learned to sing and play the harmonica and drums. Willie Mae had to compete with six other siblings in the household. She left home at fourteen years of age after her mother died prematurely, taking up menial jobs at a local drinking establishment. One night she was given the opportunity to substitute for a local singer who failed to turn up, and a love for the blues developed from there. She hit the road with Sammy Green’s Georgia-based Hot Harlem Revue for the next eight years.
After a relocation to Houston, Thornton signed to Peacock. Label owner Don Robey was known as a ruthless businessman, yet aspiring singers would still flock to the label in the knowledge that Peacock and its subsidiaries carried the biggest roster of gospel and blues acts in the south. Robey’s connections also ensured excellent national record distribution. During her tenure with Peacock she performed in R&B package tours across the country with Junior Walker, Esther Philips and others.
Thornton recorded the 12-bar blues “Hound Dog” under the studio supervision of song-writing duo Mike Leiber and Jerry Stoller. Mike Stoller was approached by Johnny Otis, who’d been given the task by Don Robey to find a hit for Thornton. When they first met, Leiber and Stoller found her a formidable character:
“In her combat boots and oversize overalls, she was a bit frightening. There was something monstrous about Big Mama, but I wasn’t looking at her that way. We saw her as the perfect instrument for deadly blues that we relished. We knocked the song out in a couple of minutes; it just happened like lightening. We knew as they say in the south, that this dog would hunt. 'Hound Dog' had just the right amount of country-funk that the lady embodied.”
It reached number one in the Billboard R&B charts in 1953 and stayed there for seven weeks. The song was a perfect vehicle for Big Mama’s growling vocal delivery. Half a million copies were sold in the first three months alone. There was little financial reward however; a trend running throughout the most of her career. Even Leiber and Stoller didn’t initially benefit. Johnny Otis put his name to the song as composer and had informed Don Robey that he had power of attorney to sign for Leiber and Stoller, which was untrue. As Leiber and Stoller were underage, their parents signed a new contract with Robey, and a cheque was eventually received for $1,200. It bounced. Things were remedied for the song-writing duo three years later however, when a young white rock ‘n’ roll singer from Memphis recorded the song and “Hound Dog” hit the stratosphere.
That song would be Thornton’s musical peak in terms of Billboard chart success, but it wasn’t the end of her singing career. She tried out a number of record labels around L.A. and San Francisco in the 1960s and took on a European tour with the American Folk Blues Festival while under contract with the Arhoolie label. England embraced visiting blues singers, through an appreciation of the genre by home-grown bands like The Rolling Stones, The Animals and the Yardbirds. Thornton was among the first female US blues singers to perform there.
Three albums were released on Arhoolie, with the final one “Ball and Chain” presenting the title track and the up-tempo version of the spiritual “Wade in the Water”; the 45 format of course an in-demand R&B collector’s item. “Ball and Chain” was an original Thornton composition but once again the song was popularised by another singer; Janis Joplin. Joplin did acknowledge Willie Mae as a major influence, crediting her as the writer, and contrary to what is frequently reported in other bios, some royalties did come her way. Through the 1970s Willie Mae took part in more live tours including the American Folk Blues Festival and the Newport Jazz Festival, appearing alongside Muddy Waters, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker and other blues masters.
“Sassy Mama” was her final album, recorded for Vanguard Records in 1975. She continued to perform until the end of the decade, but inevitably the physical consequences of alcohol dependency which ran through most of her adult life would start to take hold. For the most part, Thornton didn't perceive it as a "struggle" against alcohol. But she suffered progressive issues related to liver disease and her large frame, losing over 200lbs through illness and finally succumbing to a heart attack on July 25, 1984 in Los Angeles. Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in the same year.

The Guardian recently featured a paragraph or four regarding Kenny Carter as part of their weekly column Music Notes:. Preview and link follow below......
Unearthing Kenny Carter, soul’s unluckiest lover
Ben Beaumont-Thomas, music editor
A genre coinage that has never really caught on, but perhaps should, is “deep soul”, the name given by record collector Dave Godin to a certain kind of emotionally raw mid-century soul music informed by the downbeat lyrical themes of the blues. Godin’s compilations of this stuff, Deep Soul Treasures (on Ace Records), are full of fleetingly famous soul stars whose seven-inch singles a certain kind of pork pie-hatted gentleman would spend his children’s university fund on...

By E. Mark Windle, March 2020.

Let’s face it. There would be no need for a Women’s History Month forty years on from inception, if under-recognition of female contributions to culture, society and the workplace wasn’t still a “thing”. The music business can be as guilty as any other male dominated industry of inequality and denied opportunity. Female recording artists are still on average earning less than male counterparts. Less women reach music executive positions. Less are employed as songwriters, musicians and DJs.
The good news is that strong, determined, pioneering women are well represented though the decades, and in all facets of the business. Take Hattie Leeper, the first female African American DJ to be employed on a commercial radio station in North Carolina. At fourteen years of age, she would hang around the WGIV station. Hattie would make coffee for staff, answer the phone, file 78rpm records for DJs – just about anything to get her foot in the door. From these humble beginnings a chance to introduce records was offered after a DJ failed to turn up for work. “Chatty” Hattie, as she became known, was an established household name by the time she had moved up through the WGIV ranks and onto Big WAYS, two of the most popular stations in the Carolinas for R&B in the 1960s. Her secretarial position at the National Association of Radio and Television Announcers allowed her to meet luminaries such as Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records and Berry Gordy, owner of Motown. This helped further Hattie’s interests in promoting, managing and recording soul music artists in the region. Hattie enjoyed an extremely successful career in the media and was inducted into the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2015.
Back in her early days, Hattie struck a friendship with record label owner Florence Greenberg, another woman who worked in what was traditionally deemed a man’s world. She was not African American. She was a Jewish middle-aged suburban wife, with two children in tow. Florence was captivated by the song-writing creativity coming out of the Brill Building in New York and driven by a strong passion for R&B. If it wasn’t for her Scepter-Wand label empire, the careers of The Shirelles, Dionne Warwick and Chuck Jackson would not have been catapulted to fame so quickly, if at all. Maxine Brown, another of Greenberg’s high-profile artists, commented once: "She was a brave woman - the only woman (at the time) to own a record label in this business, competing with men and standing in there toe to toe with male producers and record owners."
Sadly, background tales of poverty and prejudice are found within the profiles of many of our female African American icons. Billie Holiday and Etta James had their demons, including heroin and alcohol addiction. Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin endured years of physical and mental abuse from their respective partners. Many artists succumbed to the consequences of their circumstances. But circumstance can also inform creativity, and some make it despite it all. Within just a few years of divorcing her manager-husband, Aretha’s “Amazing Grace” LP was a two million seller, and her Queen of Soul status established.
If there was one recording which epitomises the sentiment of this month’s theme, Aretha Franklin gave us that too. In her initial recording period with her first label Columbia, she was mainly resigned to presenting jazz and standards and was prevented from straying too close to soul music. Columbia just didn’t know what to do with her artistically. Signing to Atlantic in 1967 and “Respect” was a game changer. Placed near the top of Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”, the song landed two Grammys including the award for "Best Rhythm and Blues Solo Vocal Performance, FEMALE”. Aretha’s unique spin plus the musical punch from the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section transformed Otis Redding’s original take as weary, bitter male commentary into a woman’s unambiguous demand for respect in the domestic setting. But it came to represent even more than that. “Respect” was recorded when the country was about to be embroiled in violent political unrest. The song hit the airwaves just at the right time to be adopted by the civil rights movement. And thus, it became a banner for both social and racial freedom. There may not have been any explicit political commentary within the lyrics but then there didn’t need to be. One word said it all.

An interesting motown feature based on the recollections of one of the group can be had via The Blade website (link below)
Motown moment: Toledo's Prentiss Anderson recalls local hit that came out of historic label
He was there in the label’s early days.
Anderson, 80, is today a reverend at New Bethel Church of God in Christ in Toledo, where he serves under Bishop Rance Allen. (Allen himself brings a noteworthy musical pedigree to the congregation: The gospel vocalist heads the Grammy Award-winning Rance Allen Group.) But in the early 1960s, Anderson was one-third of Lee and the Leopards, one of the early groups to sign with Berry Gordy at Motown Records....

Fresh from Daptone records is the new album from The James Hunter Six, titled 'Nick Of Time'
This album is out now in various formats and certainly hits the mark here, and already picking up high reviews in the media.
Details and previews follow below...

The James Hunter Six - Nick Of Time LP
Company Blurb
The James Hunter Six are back with another sublime offering of no-nonsense rhythm and blues. Recorded and produced by Bosco Mann, Nick of Time is a shining example of how a master song-smith can continually draw fresh water from a bottomless well. In addition to the uptempo, swinging R&B that has put JH6 on the map, Nick of Time explores so much more! The opening track and lead single, "I Can Change Your Mind", is a beautiful, mid-tempo rumba that tips the hat to the sound of many early King/Federal releases, but executed with a vibrancy that propels the tune into the 21st Century. The lush arrangements on "Till I Hear it from You" and " He's Your Could Have Been" sound like lost tracks from an early '60s Burt Bacharach session. The straight forward soul of "Brother or Other" (whose timely message is only tantamount to its groove), and the sparse "Paradise for One" (that finds James channeling his innermost Nat King Cole), enrich the album with sounds one may not readily associate with James and Co. - culminating in James' most exciting full-length release to date.
Released March 6, 2020

Record Kicks have a debut Lp by The Devonns lined up for release on the 3rd of April this year. All formats available (LP/CD/DIGI).
Now up for pre-order, you can read and listen to the preview below...
The Devonns Intro
The Devonns are a group of young musicians based in Chicago, Illinois. With their debut album, they take us back to the golden era of 70’s Chicago soul, drawing influences from bands such as The Dramatics, The Isley Brothers and Leroy Hutson, yet always bringing in their own unique modern twist. The album was produced by Paul Von Mertens (Mavis Staples, Paul McCartney, Elton John) and it sees the participation of percussionist, organist and guitarist extraordinaire Ken Stringfellow, best known for his work with REM since 1997. “Ken is a family friend and had previously collaborated on my older brother Phil Ajjarapu's solo album. It was incredible to be in the studio with these two giants", says Mat.
The band consists of singer Mathew Ajjarapu, Khalyle Hagood (bass), Ari Lindo (guitar) and Khori Wilson (drums).
More Blurb
The Devonns dust off the golden age of 70's Chicago Soul with their self-titled debut album on Record Kicks.

Straight from the streets of Chicago, Illinois, The Devonns (pronounced "De vaughns") are the brand new soul outfit and the latest addition of the Record Kicks' family, whose self-titled debut album that drops April 03, is an assortment of influences taking us back to the heyday of soul.

Drawing influences from bands such as The Dramatics, The Isley Brothers and Leroy Hutson, yet bringing in their own unique modern twist, influenced by artists such as Jamie Lidell and Raphael Saadiq; singer Mat Ajjarapu explains how unintentionally, the rich heritage of Chicago's history with soul music influenced him.

"The city was at the epicentre of a lot of good music back in the 50's all the way to the 80's, a lot of the labels specialising in soul were based in the Chicago and we even had our own sound known as "Chicago soul". Through several years of crate digging it surprised me how many songs I loved were recorded in this city, for example one of my favourites is this great little song by The Natural Four, produced by Leroy Hutson 'Can This Be Real', and released via Curtom Records."

The band started in 2016 after multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mathew Ajjarapu dropped out of med school and found himself unemployed and drifting. Listening to music constantly at the time, he found inspired to put a band together and create his own music. Pairing up with some of the best musicians Chicago has to offer, he founded The Devonns: the rhythm duty is entrusted to Khalyle Hagood (bass), Ari Lindo (guitar) and Khori Wilson (drums).

Originally he wanted to focus on 50s style doo-wop, similar to The Flamingos; rich in reverb and vocal harmonies, but in the first initial practise they had it was evident the band clicked on their love of soul music from the 70s, so their music took a natural turn towards that sound, with tracks such as the Wilson Pickett-esque single 'Tell Me'.

The release took almost two years to complete as Mat explains "I am a perfectionist, I had a very specific vision in my head about how it should sound and I wasn't going to rest until I achieved it."

"This is a definitely a throwback soul record, as well as being drawn to lush and intricate arrangements of Motown, I was also inspired by the more lo-fi works of smaller labels such as Chess and Capsoul, and I wanted to capture the magic they had in those recordings in our record, as everything feels too precise nowadays" clarifies Mat.

It was thanks to his engineer Mike Hagler, who introduced him to Paul Von Mertens (Mavis Staples, Paul McCartney, Elton John) who arranges and conducts for Brian Wilson's live touring show and after a 45 minute phone conversation about what Mat wasn't keen on, on the album, he realised Paul totally understood where he was coming from.

After a few months wait for Paul to get back from touring they entered the studio with "Paul's players" and as soon as they hit record, Mat explains "I was getting chills up my neck, it was one of the happiest days of my life, and finally we had nailed it!"

Tracks such as 'Come Back; which Mat wrote in ten minutes on a $300 Daneelectro Singlecut guitar initially, came to life, with Paul's rich string arrangements and features guitarist and percussionist Ken Stringfellow (R.E.M.).

It still took a few months to get the recording process finished but finally after a torturous nineteen months they album was finally finished.

The result is an album filled with lavish arrangements and catchy melodies which take us on a nostalgic musical journey inspired by chic 70s soul, yet the band don't hesitate to add their own unique and elegant contemporary stamp to the record.
Release scheduled for April 3, 2020

Ace Records March line up goes something like this...
Just A Mistake B/W Lean Lanky Daddy
Northern Soul
Various Artists (Kent singles)
7" £10.68
First time on vinyl for this femme version of ‘Just A Mistake’. The flip was only previously available on a deleted Kent Select single (the ‘lean lanky daddy’ was Dave Hamilton).

(What Are We Gonna Do About) This Mess B/W Honey Can I
Modern Soul
Darrow Fletcher
7" £10.68
Another great mid-70s soul dance track from the Zane Grey and LenRon Hanks Los Angeles song-writing period which also saw the superb ‘Honey Can I’ issued on Crossover.
I Wanted To Tell You B/W You Said
60s Soul
Little Nicky Soul
7" £10.68
Our first release in a new series of repro ‘US singles is licensed from Sidney Barnes and was originally issued in 1966 when he was still in New York. Both sides are first-rate, mid-60s soul dancers.
Sweet Magic B/W Connie
60s Soul
The Servicemen
7" £10.68
This was the first single for the group of servicemen stationed near Phoenix, Arizona. They cut it for Bob Ross’ Chartmaker imprint in Los Angeles in 1966. Two rare, classic soul dance tracks; harmony is to the fore.
Sweet Baby B/W I'll Fly To Your Open Arms
60s Soul
Various Artists (Kent singles)
7" £8.79
A first UK 45 release for Al Gardner’s Detroit 60s soul classic. The flip is a terrific previously LP-only track by Jack Ashford – the producer and writer of both sides of this 45.
Caribbean R&B Classics: Big People Music (MP3)
Rhythm & Blues
Various Artists
MP3 £7.99
Twenty US R&B classics that rocked Jamaican dances in the 1950s that helped to shape the evolution of Ska and Reggae.

Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present The Tears Of Technology
Eclectic
Various Artists (Saint Etienne)
CD £11.50
Like mellotrons before them, synthesisers could project a strange and deep emotion – something in the wiring had an inherent melancholy. Previous generations had often disparaged synths as dehumanising machines but, at the turn of the 80s, a new crop of musicians appeared who could coax them into creating modern and decidedly moving music. It was almost as if these groups had intentionally set out to prove the doubters wrong.
More Long-Lost Honkers & Twangers
Instrumentals
Various Artists (Honkers & Twangers)
CD £16.33
Two-dozen rarities from the Golden Age of Instrumental Rock’n’Roll, including a whopping 14 previously unissued gems by bands such as the Ventures, Ramrods, Velvetones and Mus-Twangs. Limited edition of 1000.
La Belle Et Le Blues
Pop
Brigitte Bardot
CD £12.92
The first Bardot anthology expressly compiled for an English-speaking audience highlights the screen icon’s equally striking disc catalogue. The booklet includes a rare interview granted especially for this release.
Boogie Chillen B/W Boogie Chillen #2 (Take 2)
Blues
John Lee Hooker
10" £13.50
Just as streaming takes over, Ace goes back to the future with a numbered limited edition 78rpm 10” release. We’ll also be releasing a 71-track 3CD set of the Bernie Besman sessions of John Lee Hooker.

There's a plethora of books readily available on the subject of "Northern Soul". I've ploughed through a good number of them....they're mainly (not all) personal memoirs of the Scene back in the 70's and most of them are poorly written, turgid affairs which rely on photographs to carry them. Most of them are fixated with Wigan Casino. There are exceptions, of course, but not many.

'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.
It's a quite brilliant attempt at debunking the rose tinted mythology which surrounds Northern Soul.

His narrative style is engaging and immensely readable. His argument is well articulated and well researched. Whilst not agreeing with everything he puts forward, I would say that he pretty much hits the nail on the head.

I reckon the book will have broad appeal and could easily be used as an educational tool for those with any sort of appetite for what is one of this country's most enduring sub cultures.

I recommend it unreservedly.

...what became a search For the people cited on those LP credits; Burniece Avery, Carl L.

There is no big reveal here. Albeit i shine some light on unnoticed detail, now exposed and connections made. Each person is rich in history. Each is remarkable. And each deserves a fuller treatment than i give here. I encourage you to search for it.

Book Review.
When I was first knocking around the Rare Soul Scene, there was a guy from Cambridge called Norman Rogers. He was one of the 'faces'.
Everywhere that he went, Norman took his camera. The story goes that it was a present from an aunt or uncle and that it was a top quality job.... In fact it was his father who gave him it.
Over the years he's taken thousands of pictures, many of which have subsequently turned up in various books, magazines and TV documentaries often without Norman getting any accreditation or acknowledgement.
So this book is, if you like, Norman's own tale.
It works, in my view, on two quite different levels. The first being a hefty piece of nostalgia for those of us lucky enough to know Norman and who were in an around the venues at the time. A lot of the photos are of guys and girls I know, many of whom I consider to be lifelong friends.
The second and possibly even more important level is that the book, with it's images, accompanying anecdotes and playlists, is a bona fide historical document from the early days of the Scene and it may prove to be a bit of an eye opener to the various people who think that Northern Soul started and finished with Wigan Casino. The paradox, is that the heartbeat of Northern Soul, was and still is embedded in so many ways in the counties of Cambridge, Northants, Bedford and South Leicestershire....( at least to those of us who hail from there)

I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Incidentally Norman is a great bloke and he still treads the boards on a regular basis. Some of the book's photos are from the equally prolific Olly Pearson

About love, loss, and our deep personal connection to music.

Brand New / Lady in the City by Freddie Hall
Freddie grew up singing on the street corners of Canastota in the USA. It's here at the age of 11, he met world renowned jazz vocalist, Nat King Cole. Freddie's singing style would later be influenced by the style of Nat King Cole. Freddie has been singing over 40 years and achieved massive success in his home country of America, as well as in various international markets. He has toured internationally since 2005 performing in the UK, Germany, Italy, France and Austria.

In 1975, while attending The Black Athletes Hall of Fame, Freddie was able to do some backup singing with Aretha Franklin, in Las Vegas. In 2000 while attending a convention in Orlando, Florida he was a guest performer with The Temptations at a special event. 2013 he was the support act for The Three Degrees in England.

Freddie just completed a tour of The French Riviera and continues to perform at a variety of festivals and clubs throughout Europe, performing jazz, blues, soul and Motown.

Freddie who is originally from Canastota, NY, USA, and now lives in Cambridgeshire gigs regularly in the area. He has a good fan base that he has acquired over the years

JEWEL BASS
I Wanna Know / Sweet High (S4R10)
Malaco has long been a favourite label of mine and I always felt that Jewel Bass was a huge talent that never realised her potential there. She was somehow was overtaken by the likes of Dorothy Moore, Denise Lasalle and Fern Kinney in the “pecking order“ down in Jackson, MS. Jewel sang countless backing vocals for such luminaries as Johnnie Taylor, Tommy Tate, Jean Knight, Eddie Floyd, Bobby Bland and many others, and was featured in bands like the Carbon Copies, Natural High and Centaura.

Both of these tracks which have lain undiscovered until now were recorded in 1981 in International Recording Studio, Pearl, Mississippi, and are two contrasting delights for soul fans.

“I Wanna know“ is a mid-tempo shuffler with hints of a “Joy & Pain” riff in there and definitely one for the most discerning dancefloors. ”Sweet High” is a so soulful string laden ballad on which Jewel´s vocals are launched effortlessly into the heights on the back of an impressive production.

Enjoy these two fine examples of real soul music exhumed from the vaults for your pleasure.

You Brought The Sunshine: The Sound Of Gospel Recordings 1976-1981 - The Clark Sisters - Westbound
A new album titled 'You Brought The Sunshine' by The Clark Sisters has just been released on the Ace records related Westbound Records label and is now available to purchase in both Cd and MP3 formats.
The details and more of this release follow below...

Release Notes Preview
The Clark Sisters loom large over the modern gospel landscape, which rests mainly on the legacy of their soul and jazz-influenced recordings for Detroit’s Sound Of Gospel label. Sample the highlights here.
In the late 1970s and into the early 80s the Clark Sisters changed the face of gospel music. With the natural musical talent of Elbernita “Twinkie” Clark guiding the way with her compositions, they created music which addressed the important spiritual concerns but melded it with a modern edge. The group claimed this was keeping true to their ministry in bringing the word to a wider audience, but traditionalists disagreed. When ‘You Brought The Sunshine (Into My Life)’ crossed over to the discotheques there was uproar in the gospel...

Latest news from Diggin' Deep Records, read and listen below...
ANNOUNCING DIGGIN’ DEEP RECORDS NEWEST 45!
A VALENTINE’S SPECIAL!
PRE ORDER NOW FOR 14th FEB 2020
Can You Dig It?
DD 0010A The Exceptions ‘So Much in Love’
DD 0010B Milton Bennett ‘I’m Ready’
It is with great pleasure that we announce the latest Diggin’ Deep 45 which will be available for you to pre-order before the Valentine’s Day Release Date.
Both these tracks are from the GWP production team out of New York, which started in 1969 by Jerry Purcell. These sides are up there with anything the GWP label put out on vinyl during its three-year tenure:
THE EXCEPTIONS - SO MUCH IN LOVE (Bennie Gordon, Chuck Dean)
The Exceptions were a group that Benny Gordon brought to GWP Records. Not related to others of the same name, this unknown group can certainly sing and they deliver a stunning performance here on a song which Benny co-wrote and recorded himself on his own Estill Records. It is an easy-going group soul number that has been well received by the Low Rider and Sweet Soul community of South Los Angeles, via advance copies in the hands of Ruben Molina and Arlene Sepulveda (Soulera 5150). It’s a beautifully crafted love song timed for release on Valentines day 2020.
MILTON BENNETT – I’M READY (Unknown)
Though he is best remembered for his song writing, including seminal works such as ‘Go Now’, ‘Showdown’ and Kenny Carter’s ‘Don’t Go’, Milton Bennett was also a very good singer. Northern Soul fans will be very familiar with his ‘What’s One More Lie’ and here we have another traditional ‘old school’ uptempo dancer that could do some serious damage on that scene. Quite why this fabulous record remained in-the-can is a mystery, but here it is now, some 50 years since its recording.

Please take a few minutes to listen to the promotional video. We hope you’ll agree, this great double-header is a 45 that every Soul fan will want to have in their collection.
Both sides are now available on a beautifully mastered 45.
DD0010 collector’s release is a limited pressing @ just £12 each plus postage and packing.
Avoid Disappointment. Pre-order ON WEBSITE ONLY now, while stocks last

Rarities from New York’s Spring, Event & Posse labels. 23 tracks on Kent CD for the first time, includes 6 previously unreleased tracks
Release Notes Preview
New York label Spring, and its Event and Posse subsidiaries, were very active from 1967 up to the late 80s. They specialised in the city’s black music and tried most variations, including soul, gospel, disco, show tunes, funk, harmony and later electro and rap.
We have chosen the most soulful tracks that have not appeared on Kent CDs before, including six completed recordings that were previously unreleased. Two of these are ballads: a stunning version of Ray Godfrey’s song ‘I’m The Other Half Of You’ by Maxine Weldon and an unknown sweet soul number from one-time Tavares member Victor Tavares. Ray Godfrey himself features with...

Details of a new vinyl comp lp release from Club Soul, info, preview and blurb follow below
CLUB SOUL presents an eclectic blend of hard-edged Northern Soul from the funky side of the street. It’s time to pass the hatchet instead of the talc and trade in the spin and slide for the hook and sling and work that dancefloor!

NORTHERN SOUL continues to evolve, which is perhaps why, some fifty years on, its appeal is so enduring. At its epicentre is the traditional, Motown inspired, Sixties oldie that proliferates many Club Soul albums, but in more recent times we’ve seen a resurgence of soul-tinged R&B, Crossover, the Sweeter end of Northern Soul and even the influence of the Low-Rider scene. And, if you thought that Northern Soul production ended in 1969, think again, check out the contemporary sounds of Carlton Jumel Smith, Durand Jones And The Indications, Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities, Decosta Boyce, Curtis Harding and many many more... exciting times!
Here we showcase the funky side of Northern Soul which seems to have captured the imagination of our soul brothers and sisters across Europe and a growing number of progressive clubs in the U.K. Not quite rare groove, nor Seventies Modern, these 14 rare soul gems are hard-edged, kitchen-sink rhythms that demand dance floor attention.
Our eclectic blend borrows its name from our title track “Soul Street” by Ricky Allen, a super rare cut written and produced by Mel London and released to absolutely no acclaim on his Chicago based Tam-Boo label circa 1968. Allen is no stranger to the rare soul scene and is joined here by a number of familiar faces such as our southern soulsters Alder Ray Black and Eddie Bo and our hit artists Betty Harris, Tina Turner and Aaron Neville. Special attention must go to Josephine Taylor and Alvin Cash both of whom contribute tracks, that incredibly, were unreleased at the time of recording! But our star turn has to be Lenny McDaniel who makes his compilation debut with the furious dancer “Something Out Of Nothing” recorded with The New Era in 1968 for Joe Banashak’s Seven B label. Everything happens on Soul Street.
Side One
Ricky Allen - Soul Street
Alder Ray Black And The Fame Gang - Put Your Trust In Me (You Can Depend On Me)
Eddie Bo & Inez Cheatham - Lover and a Friend
Betty Harris - Trouble With My Lover
Josephine Taylor - I Want A Man
Willie West - Fairchild
Lee Moses - I Can't Take No Chances
Side Two
Lenny McDaniel & The New Era - Something Out Of Nothing
Alvin Cash & The Registers - Sweatin' (Do What You Want To)
Roger & The Gypsies - Pass the Hatchet (Part 1)
Roy Roberts Experience - You Move Me, PT. 1
Net Wt. 14 Karat Black - Ain't Nothin' But a Habit
Tina Turner with Ike Turner & The Kings of Rhythm - You Got What You Wanted
Aaron Neville - Hercules

Just like Volume 1 before it, Reach Up – Disco Wonderland Volume 2 takes in forgotten boogie, funk, dance-floor soul and early house gems from the 70s and 80s, as well as a few contemporary productions created with a nod to the classics. Ranging from obscure West Indian pop artists to Chicago Disco royalty, ‘Reach Up – Disco Wonderland Volume 2’ searches high and low to find the heaviest grooves and purest deep-down good vibes. An exclusive DJ mix is included on the CD version for maximum ‘Reach Up’ pleasure.

Press Release:
Vivian Copeland Chaos (In my Heart) b/w The Poindexter Brothers What I Did In The Streets (I Should Have Done At Home) SJ1016
Release Date: Monday 17th February 2020.
Vivian Copeland was a budding young singer who was brought to the Poindexter Brothers attention by her husband. Vivian was to record several Poindexter compositions beginning with “I Don’t Care What He’s Done “ and “So Nice I Had To Kiss You Twice” which paired together gained a 45 release on the Bell distributed Amy (577) label in 1967. A further three 45 releases by Vivian would appear on Jeff Moore’s D’oro label. Firstly the now highly sought after “Chaos (In my Heart) b/w “Cushion The Blow (D’oro 1002) in 1968. Secondly A cover version of Maxine Brown’s “Oh, No Not My Baby b/w I Don’t Care” (D’oro 1006) another Poindexter song, and finally a version of the Billy Terrell and Ray Dahrouge penned song “He Knows My Key (Is Always In The Mailbox) b/w So Nice I Had To Kiss You Twice” there are two releases of this 45, the local D’oro release on a gold label and a subsequent blue label release which was distributed by Atlantic Records.

The Poindexter Brothers, Richard and Robert where raised in the city of Newport News, Virginia. Both brothers had been members of different high school groups, Robert the eldest, sang with The Swans and then ‘The Silvermoon quintet’ before joining the U.S Navy. While Richard performed as a member of ‘ The Rocketters’ and then later ‘The Gems’. Richard did travel to New York during 1963 with The Gem’s to appear at the renowned Apollo Theatre, where upon he was reunited with his brother. Robert, who following his discharge from the service had made the Big Apple his home.
Following the Apollo gig Richard returned home to Virginia before permanently joining his brother in New York during 1964. Richard leaving his wife and children behind vowing to send for then as soon as he scored a hit record, something he felt would happen in a matter of a few months. Following a three wait Richard was finally reunited with his family due to the success of Linda Jones’s 1967 hit “Hypnotized” which the Poindexter’s co-wrote.

Following every high there usually comes a low (or two) so during 1969 and again being short of money the brothers decided to start their own production company choosing the very apt label name “Win Or Lose” the label’s first release was the brothers self produced, performed and co-written song with Jackie Members (Robert’s wife) “What I Did In The Street (I Should’ve Done At Home)”a very clever and intricate duet by the brothers with musical accompaniment provided by a group of local Bronx musicians, The Mapasiveyo Band. The b-side of the 45 is a cover version of the Johnny Ace Duke label standard “Never Let Me Go”. sadly this 45 fell by the wayside (although the song was latter covered by Florida artist Barbara King).

‘Win Or Lose’ Productions did later hit pay dirt through a plethora of Poindexter songs recorded on The Persuaders including the hit record “Thin Line Between Love And Hate” for Atco Records.

'We want to thank our British fans for supporting and inspiring us over a half century. I've had such memorable trips to Britain dating as far back as the early 70's, including meeting the Archbishop of Canterbury to recording our Live at London's Talk of the Town album. As we mark our 60th Anniversary in 2020, the Temptations want to pay special tribute to fans in the UK and worldwide. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating this special milestone during next year's tour" says Otis Williams

The Thompsons - I'll Get Over It on BCW Records.
Relatively unknown Philly Soul from 1975
Re-Mastered with Liner Notes and never before seen photo's of the band.
Gatefold LP with Japanese style OBI
Promotional Video
From Dusty Groove:
A tremendous album from a totally hip Philly soul group of the 70s – the kind of quartet who would have been huge, had they recorded in another city – but whose genius was most likely eclipsed by the superstars that were stuffing the Philadelphia scene at the time! These guys have a great way of blending the rough with the smooth, the sweet with the funky – a vibe that's maybe more in the mode of some of the hip acts on Stang/All-Platinum, especially The Whatnauts – or with the badass vibe of their contemporaries Soul Generation – all with a sound that's got a lot more raw power than you'd guess from their rented tuxedos on the cover! The production is nice and raw – just dynamic group soul vocals, with just the right touches of funk instrumentation and larger orchestrations – all with an edge that really hangs on, even on the mellower numbers. Titles include "Love In Her Eyes", "Message", "Invincible", "You Gotta Get Down To Ever Get Up", "I'll Always Love You", "I'll Get Over It", and "We Love To Sing"

"Keep The Scene Alive"
Inside the ballrooms that are the citadel of the NORTHERN SOUL scene. Great music. Athletic dancing.Later, breakfast and a swim."The scene is here as long as the punters want it" says one DJ. "Its essence is rarity and it's up to us to keep that rarity".
