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?

Wilbur Walton Jr. 24 Hours of Loneliness

The Candy Men were Roy Orbison's backing band and included Bobby Goldsboro(see Webby!) They became The James Gang whcih had Wilbur as a member. The producer Buddy Buie kept some songs for his next group Clasics iv who cut "24 hours and also "Stormy' as on unreleased Supremes and "Spooky" done brilliantly by Dusty Springfield and as an instrumental by Atlanta Rhythm section.

You should all start earlier next week.

Here's Classics iv version

Wibur was on 123 label, beloved by firms trying to get to the front of the phone book (geddit) and came out on Capitol in Japan

What do you reckon?
