    I've got both singles and have always been intrigued to understand what the connection was.

    A fantastic piece of work - many thanks

    Just revisiting this article as Sound of Soul (Bobbi & Michi) are mentioned.

    their Josie 45 "Wrapped up tight" is a firm favourite of mine. Does anybody have more details about Bobbi and/or Michi? Like who they are?

    @Kenb:

    @Benji- short answer No.

    When i spoke (& from my email notes) to Tom DeCillis his memory was a bit vague and i didn't press him on Sound of Soul. Tom was into a lot of stuff at the time.Tom's musical interests during that time was with Bernadette Carroll-The Angels, PM for ARC recording artists The Dynamics, had been Astro's promo man, Julia records, T-D, Bobby Lee, and so it goes on.

    Ed Leipzig would probably have been the man to ask...unfortunately i didn't!
