The Real Thing - New Album and Documentary

THE REAL THING ANNOUNCE NEW DOCUMENTARY AND NEW BEST OF ALBUM FEATURING BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE RELEASED TRACK
Iconic British soul and funk band, The Real Thing, will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2020 with the release of a brand-new Best Of album, featuring a never-before-released track, released on BMG on 10th January 2020.
The release coincides with a brand-new documentary about the group, Everything – The Real Thing Story, by filmmaker Simon Sheridan which will be coming to cinemas in January 2020.
Everything - The Real Thing Story
Everything – The Real Thing Story is coming to cinemas in January. Shot on location in Liverpool and London by filmmaker Simon Sheridan and narrated by actor Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones) / rapper Raleigh Ritchie , the documentary charts the story of Britain’s first black music revolution, and how the band’s massive success has been tempered with racism, drug addiction and suicide. For the very first time, original band members Eddy Amoo, Chris Amoo and Dave Smith reveal the brutally honest truth behind their trailblazing 50-year career.
After five decades, they remain the godfathers of black British music. For full cinema listings visit http://therealthingofficial.com

The Best Of The Real Thing  Double Cd out January 10, 2020
Several tracks on this brand-new Best Of album will be appearing on CD format for the very first time, and as well as this, it will include a brand-new track – ‘Someone Oughta Write a Song (About You Baby)’.
Originally written and recorded with Ken Gold and Mick Denne, the same team behind several of the band’s hits including ‘You To Me Are Everything’ and ‘Can’t Get By Without You’, ‘’Someone Oughta Write a Song (About You Baby)’ was due to be the third of a would-be trio of hits, however it was shelved when the band decided they wanted to write and produce their own material, despite being fully mixed.
For decades it remained a lost track, until in 2017 Ken Gold found the only remaining tape copy of the track in a storage locker. Through a process known as ‘tape baking’, with the assistance of James Guthrie (Pink Floyd engineer/ producer), the tape was salvaged, playable, and transferred to digital.
The band featuring original members Chris Amoo and Dave Smith will also perform at The Jazz Café in London on 14th January.

Motown Mansion Auction - Berry Gordy's Former Property 2017

The Recent Sale of Berry Gordy’s Former Detroit Mansion on the 20 October 2017

It is well known amongst Motown & Soul fans that the Motown Records company moved all of its operations to Los Angeles (LA) in June 1972, with a number of artists, among them Martha Reeves, the Four Tops, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and Motown's Funk Brothers studio band, either staying behind in Detroit or leaving the company for other reasons. James Jamerson did move out to LA but later moved back to Detroit.
Berry had originally purchased the Detroit Mansion in 1967 but even though moving out to LA in 1972 he continued to own it until 2002, when he then sold it to the attorney Cynthia Reaves. In 2016 the attorney decided to sell the mansion and to clear the items left behind by Berry Gordy (when he finally left Detroit) via a public auction
There is a lot of Motown history associated with the mansion, summer garden parties, compiling & writing songs sometimes well into the early hours and many other events. So is a crucial part of Motown’s history. The sale was on Friday 20th Oct 2017, which beforehand made news across most of Detroit via the local media and television networks.
News highlights focused on the historical significance of the mansion and primarily BG’s 1927 Steinway Piano, frequently played by Smokey Robinson and many other Motown artists.

With the auction as well the piano then giving many others the opportunity to secure smaller items to then own a part of the Motown Phenomenon, it created a lot of interest, albeit in Michigan State.
As well as the piano being the “Star” lot the catalogue listed gowns  & costumes worn by the “Vandellas”  “Contours” “Laura Lee” “Freda Payne” and others, plus many other Motown artefact’s and documents.
However what really focused my attention was the 600 plus (unplayed) records, that were also discovered as being left behind by BG when he sold & left Detroit for good. I wanted to find out  what these were and any treasures left behind.
Amazingly the majority of the 45’s were not Motown Labels as I expected but “Anna”  “Tri-Phi” “Harvey” including the Rare “Message” singles (subsidiary of Tri-Phi with only 3 Gospel based issues).  This no doubt related to the BG purchase and take over of Harvey Fuqua & Gwen Gordy’s  (the then wife of Harvey) record company’s. This must have been unsold stock that Berry then put into his basement.

As I uncovered the “lots” I was amazed: Three Piles of Harvey’s “Any Way You Wanta” totalling around a 100 X 45’s all mint all unplayed! Estimate was $1000 and they sold for $1100.
 
 
And then the other lots: ( Note The Tamla issue!!!) there then being around another 6 or 7 similar lots 
 
 
The Finale

Now the most amazing thing of all, one of the rarest of the rare featuring in the top 20 of the rarest of the Motown issues, being Saundra Mallet & The Vandella’s  “Camel Walk” on Tamla.  La-Brenda Ben issued “Camel Walk” on Motown 1033 (very rare) & on the Gordy label Gordy 7009.
One of the Final Lots of the Sale with an Estimate of $2500 was a Batch of 27 Mint Un-played copies of “Camel Walk” in their original sleeves. (2 others sold in the other batches of singles)

What Dreams are Made of! & to then top it all off, sold to an internet bidder for $550. Irony is what used to be a £700 plus 45 now with 29 copies turning up it is now probably worth half of that.
How many in the UK even knew anything about the Auction? It took me some time to track down the Auction results only hearing about this auction in Feb of this year.
Motown Forever!

Jack Ashford Article - International Musician Website

A get the week off on a good foot pass on from @Ady Croasdell
Details of a fully featured article looking at Jack Ashford's work over the years, published via the International Musician Website (article link follows the preview clip below).
For Jack Ashford and His Funk Brothers, Jazz Roots Ran Deep
While gigging around Boston in the late 1950s trying to establish himself as a jazz player, vibraphonist Jack Ashford met music producer Harvey Fuqua and his future brother-in-law Marvin Gaye. “Harvey asked me, ‘You know who Marvin Gaye is?’ I said, ‘Nah, never heard of him. If they don’t play jazz, I don’t know ’em.’ I was cocky. Everybody wanted to be like Miles Davis. Marvin said he was starting a band and would I like to come to Detroit.....
.....Still playing at 85, Ashford draws on those glory days of Detroit and the Funk Brothers to generate rare and in-demand soul music.
He’s won two Grammy Awards and has several gold records to his credit. Known as the “tambourine man,” Ashford has spent the last decade working with producer and Oscar winner T-Bone Burnett of Local 47 (Los Angeles, CA) and performing with artists like Elton John of Local 47. In 2013, he and his Funk Brothers received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

New 45 - Jimmy Delphs - Hayley Records

JIMMY DELPHS Walk on into my heart b/w OLLIE McLAUGHLIN ORCHESTRA Where there is love HR 027
Hayley Records is proud to announce the release of yet another previously unreleased gem by the mercurial Jimmy Delphs - his third on the label following 'Where there is love' (now sadly SOLD OUT) and the moody 'The flip side'. All songs are of the highest standard and show what an incredible artist Jimmy Delphs is. His first UK performance next year in Blackpool should be something else !
The song, 'Walk on into my heart', was written and produced by Barney 'Duke' Browner who also wrote a song with exactly the same title for Bobbie Smith, yet, incredibly, there are completely different songs. The Jimmy Delphs song was recorded at Golden World studios on Davison in Detroit around 1967 with prominent members of the famed Funk Brothers collective, but left 'in the can' until now.  Early reaction to the song among UK soul fans has been extremely favourable with scores of people pre-ordering the record.
The flip side also has a Jimmy Delphs connection in the form of the instrumental version of the afore mentioned 'Where there is love' by producer Ollie McLaughlin and various Funk Brothers with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The recording clearly demonstrates what a beautiful song Sharon McMahan wrote.
Hayley Records is also extremely excited to announce that next year, 2020, signals the twentieth anniversary of the label. HR is 20 !
As part of the celebrations, more top flight releases will be seeing the light of day for the first time since they were recorded, featuring artists like Rose Battiste, Steve Mancha, Jimmy Gilford, Joyce Vincent, Richard 'Popcorn' Wylie, The Holidays, the Brothers of Soul, Emanuel Laskey, Pat Lewis and many more. 
All Soul-Source members are invited to join the Hayley Records page on Facebook where photos, articles, up dates, sound files, pre release information and much more are featured.  
To order:

The Pacific North West and the English North West are damp, mossy, riddled with steep, unexpected valleys, dotted with abandoned mills, and frequently cloaked in mist. Most of the year you’d be wise to wear waterproofs. David Lynch set Twin Peaks in the former; it’s not a great leap to imagine it being re-cast and set in the latter. Paddy Considine would probably be involved; Yorkshire Tea, too. As for the soundtrack? Well, that’s what this album is about.

Soul 4 Real 7" Calvin Richardson

Welcome to release #9 from Soul 4 Real Records
CALVIN RICHARDSON
I´ll Take Her / Looks Like (You´ve Been Crying) (S4R09)
LISTEN HERE:
https://bit.ly/2NKwONJ
 
https://bit.ly/371vw8q

Calvin Richardson is a bit of a chameleon, smoothly able to transition between the most heartfelt gritty soul ballads to the latest cutting edge urban R&B that now dominates the more mainstream sound of today´s “Black America”.
His revered solo debut “Country Boy” came back in 1999 when signed to major label powerhouse Universal Records and went on to sell 100,000 units but, in those halcyon days, still not enough to get him a second bite of the cherry at the time. He then went on to strike deals with Hollywood Records, Jordan House (owned by Eric Benet) and Shanachie Records where he still resides.
With comparisons drawn to a young Bobby Womack, it’s easy to see why he chose to record long player “Facts Of Life: The Soul Of Bobby Womack” back in 2009.
For their ninth release those sterling Soul 4 Real guys have chosen to resurrect two fantastic sides from that debut recording, with the soulful as hell “I’ll Take Her” backed with the melodic gem of a beat ballad “Looks Like (You’ve Been Crying)”…make sure you don’t miss it!
MARK CODDINGTON (FISH)
.........................................................................................................................
Presented in a beautiful picture cover laminated 7" designed by Jordi Duró. Liner notes by Mark Coddington (Fish).

Last Night at Wigan Casino - Kickstarter - New book

Word about a possible new book reaches us here at Soul Source. Titled 'Last Nite At Wigan Casino this kickstarter project features photos taken by Francesco Mellina at the last northern soul allnighter at Wigan.
You may have read about and indeed seen some of Francesco Mellina photos over the years here via Soul Source. It's a current kickstarter project, be aware that there's only a few days left, so if you want to get involved then you better get a move on
An introduction to the book follows below, full details are available on kickstarter, there is a link following the introduction.
LAST NIGHT AT WIGAN CASINO
Photographs by Francesco Mellina, from the last Northern Soul all-nighter at Wigan Casino in 1981.
One night in 1981 Francesco Mellina travelled from Liverpool to Wigan in a battered Simca to photograph the Casino Club's last Northern Soul all-nighter. The legendary Wigan Casino Club staked its claim in music history and firmly established itself as a spiritual home of Northern Soul throughout the seventies until its closure in 1981. 
Most of the photographs in this book have not been seen by anyone since 1981. Only two of Francesco's shots were used at the time, to illustrate a New Musical Express article about the last night and one or two have been used in books or on Northern Soul compilation record sleeves.

1000 Wonders - The Art of Northern Soul Lyrics

1000 Wonders - The art of Northern Soul Lyrics
All those great northern soul lyrics, together on a beautiful premium A1 matt print. The northern soul gift of a lifetime. 
INTRODUCTION
‘It’s all over like a three leaf clover’.
‘She stands five feet tall and a quarter.’
‘Once I stopped to watch a tree grow’.
To most people, these words don’t mean a thing. To us, the tiny lucky minority, they mean everything. Some are funny. Some are heartbreaking. Some are plain genius. Some… well, some just transport you for no clear reason. They just feel right.
Here they are, thousands of them, all together on a huge premium print

GEORGE BLACKWELL - CAN’T LOSE MY HEAD 
 
 

CECIL WASHINGTON - I DON’T LIKE TO LOSE 
 
 
THE STORY
I’ve always been obsessed by (and I’ve always jotted down) all those northern soul lyrical gems, I recently decided to compile them in one place. It turned out to be a pretty big place, because there are just so many great words. Now I’ve put them all together in a huge print. It’s deliberately strange-looking. It looks like a novel’s worth of words on your wall. Nice and… different. 
And I thought it would be good to pick 25 monster sounds to create an artwork for, so people can tailor-make their print according to their fave tune.
(If you can’t find a song you love from Paris, Cecil Washington, Larry Clinton, George Blackwell, Eddie Parker, Magnetics and Norma Jenkins and the other 18 I picked, maybe it’s not for you.) 
They’re all there: from the Salvadors to the Silhouettes to Silky Hargreaves. From Soul Bros Inc to Susan Rewis to Steve Flanagan. From Stacy Henry to Speed Limit. It goes on and on. And these are just some of the S artists! 
The images are made from old green record sleeves and all kinds of scrap. 
 


 
 
HOW TO PURCHASE 
Go to www.1000wonders.co.uk and peruse the 25 song / art choices. 
PREMIUM MATT A1 PRINTS
The item itself is a premium A1 matt print. Yes, A1, so you’re gonna need a bigger frame. I hope you enjoy these as much as I loved making them.

Video - Ernie Johnson - Eddie & Ernie - 2004

Over the years one of the most notable interviews that have had the pleasure to feature here on Soul Source has to be the interview with Ernie Johnson (one half of Eddie & Ernie ) by Arizona music historian John Dixon way back in October 2004. The interview certainly made a mark as it brought into full focus the struggles that some who were responsible for making this great music, faced in the 21st century.
The transcripts of this interview and also John Dixons story on how it all come about were featured here...
https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-articles/transcripts-of-interview-with-ernie-johnson-and-john-dixon-r264/
As reported last week a headstone dedication ceremony was held in Phoenix where a bronze headstone was placed on Ernie Johnson's grave, the ceremony was followed by the first public showing of this interview.
https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/news-soul/ernie-johnson-headstone-dedication-phoenix-9th-nov-2019-r4114/
Ady Croasdell aka @Ady Croasdell has just passed on that the author has just posted/released the video publically. You can vie w the video and John Dixons words via his website (link below), via youtube or via the embedded player below
' a wonderful 22 minute interview that I had with Ernie at The Elks Club shortly before his untimely passing in 2005...'
'. ..interview includes his memories of growing up in Phoenix, singing with his fathers gospel group The Gospel Crusaders, meeting Eddie and performing at the world famous Apollo Theater...'. 
http://azmusicdude.com/for-sweetwater/
 
After 15 years since first posting the written details of this interview, you can now actually view the full 22 minutes video
Full deserved credit to John Dixon, for his efforts over the 15 years. You could say that he has made sure that the 'original' tag line that accompanied the first published interview has been reached...
somebody should hear and feel and know

Danny Toeman - New Single - Give It All Up (Mr Showtime)

New Single out tomorrow from Danny Toeman. Out Nov 8th 2019 titled Give It All Up (Mr Showtime) that's indeed worth a listen, here you go...
The new single from North London's soul sensation Danny Toeman. Entitled 'Give It All Up (Mr Showtime)’ the track presents a dramatically beautiful, classic love song that perfectly captures his use of fusing vintage sounds with contemporary style.
Toeman has performed to sold out audiences at prestigious venues such as Alexandra Palace and the o2 Arena, as well as supporting soul luminaries such as Kool & The Gang, Betty Wright, Michael Kiwanuka, and Charles Bradley. His music can also be heard in a global advertising campaign for Toyota, on Saturday Night Live and in Made in Chelsea.
 
Single & Music Video Launch details
Danny Toeman & The Love Explosion
NOVEMBER 14TH - Single & Music Video Launch Gig, The Finsbury
The Finsbury, London. Thursday, 14 Nov 2019
 
Soundcloud Listen
Company blurb...
Danny Toeman is a vibrant and powerful performer who seamlessly blends the classic vibes of Funk and Soul’s golden age with his own inimitable London edge, delivering a modern and fresh ‘neo-vintage’ flavour. The North London singer who is known for his outstanding live performances that showcase his rugged vocals and altitude-defying falsetto, creates a sound oozing with character and emotion. Along with his seven-piece band The Love Explosion, Toeman stages an electrifying show filled to the brim with feel-good funky soul, designed to make you move. 
In his latest release ‘Give It All Up (Mr Showtime)’, Toeman presents a dramatically beautiful, classic love song that perfectly captures his use of fusing vintage sounds with contemporary style. Sonically the single comes to life through colourful grooves and embellished melodies, with a ‘Torch Song’ style introduction and uplifting finish, the track lends itself to a feel-good love song. Toeman expresses how gratitude was the inspiration for the new track sharing, “This song came to me as I was travelling home from a random gig in the middle of nowhere, clunky guitar case and amplifier taking up space in the train carriage. I was thinking about the show and how despite how small it was, the audience had shown so much love for my set. I wondered what they would think if they saw me now and if they knew it was their reaction that keeps me going. So I decided to write something that would express my appreciation to them and all other audiences who’ve had a similar effect on me”. 
Influenced by the power and swagger of James Brown, the pained romance of Marvin Gaye, and the uplifting joy of Curtis Mayfield, Toeman combines his love of classic soul with modern elements, bringing a new sound of soul, whilst forging his own path into unchartered territory. Thematically his music narrates finding the sweetness in the sour and getting through the rough times with dignity. “I try and keep my music positive and aspirational, in matters of life and love, matter how hard the present circumstances. This is the message I have always found at the heart of the music I love”, admits Toeman. 
When he is not performing, writing and producing music, the musician hopes to flaunts his powerful charisma as a professional wrestler, having taken up training last year. Whether in the ring or on stage, he displays a charming eccentricity and incomparable flair that consistently captivates his audience.
To date, Toeman has performed to sold out audiences at prestigious venues such as Alexandra Palace and the o2 Arena, as well as supporting soul luminaries such as Kool & The Gang, Betty Wright, Michael Kiwanuka, and Charles Bradley. His music can also be heard in a global advertising campaign for Toyota, on Saturday Night Live and in Made in Chelsea, as well as receiving national radio airplay from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Craig Charles. 
Put quite simply, there is no other artist quite like Danny Toeman. With a full album release on the horizon and a range of live dates on the way, now is the ideal time to catch an awe inspiring live performance from a true rising star. ‘Give It All Up (Mr Showtime)’ is set for release November 8th 2019.
