Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Just tried to post this but it disappeared. I'll have another go and hope it doesn't duplicate. As usual our mystery person is an artist who has had at least one tune played on the Northern Soul scene but not really a soul singer. I'll take questions to which I can answer 'yes' or 'no' - and will provide more clues as we go along. All depends on people joining in but judging by previous weeks there are loads of good sports on here. Last week we had Curtis Lee whose tune still (rightfully) gets played.This time it's one from the dark days when anything with the right beat was acceptable... who is the guy singing here?

Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 First clue. Although his Northern tune came out on an indie label in the US it was released on a much bigger label in Japan. Actually that's not a very good clue but it is early... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not a soul band though, as Webby will tell you. In fact there was another band with the same name and they weren't a soul band either! Confused - we ain't even started yet..

Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Has he had any notable commercial success? Well no, or rather he had quite a bit of local success but I don't think a great deal of national. People in his band went on to do a relatively successful version of his Northern song though, then a later version of that group recorded an all time classic and one of my favourite tunes when it got covered by an unrelated white British artist. And she has some Northern tunes too, but focussing on that may lead you astray Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) johnny rivers or joe south Not as well known as either in the pop world. His Northern tune was (briefly) bigger than anything by any of them though. In fact I think Russ actually played the later version which was connected to his early band by writer and producer. Connected to another guess we've had too... Edited September 27, 2009 by Godzilla Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
