hello

there was a couple of tv programs about northern soul on tv last year ( I think it was last year , lol ) possibly channel 4 or 5 , and in one of them there was a track with a hook line that seemed to say the word UNGRATEFUL ,and it sounded similar to the olympics type of records like "i`ll do a little bit more!

does anyone know the name of the record and the artist/group please ?

thanks

I would imagine it was the series on British youth cults, with Mark Lamarr doing the narration.

Could it have been one of the tracks on the following? : >> Click Here <<

thanks for the reply

I had that album on cd so I dug it out and checked the tracks , but unfortunately its not one of them

that was certainly one of the 2 tv programmes , but I will have to find the footage and see if I can find out the programme name or something

it sounded very much like an OLYMPICS track but I have checked several with no luck

the hook chorus seemed to have that word UNGRATEFUL or something similar

thanks again

ps:- just checked the videotapes and its not the mark lamarr one featuring kev roberts or keb darge ( soul of london underground ) , its definitely the one with the cd listed in your link above - keep the faith The Northern Soul Generation etc , and the record is featured near the interview with stuart cosgrove

here is the title of the cd for the tv programme

ITV , IN THE CLUB - WIGAN CASINO 2003

and having viewed the footage at wigan these are some of the lyrics I can make out

quote

when my baby comes back home

I`m gonna give her the news

that is a ( dont know word !!!! )

that is a ( dont know word !!!! ) ( repeated chorus )

ha , sitting home all alone

time to prove I`m faithful

but she runs all over town

oooh shes so ungrateful

unquote

hope this helps identify the song title and group , as it doesnt seem to be on the cd for the other programme ( soul )

thanks for looking etc

The International KCP's were a product of Jack Taylor's Rojac/Tayster setup in New York. Jack Taylor took his artists to Chicago and Detroit to record, and I assume that this version of Big Maybelle's record was cut in Detroit. Jack probably struck a deal with Wheelsville Records to pay for the recording in exchange for the rights to release this version of the song on their label. In any case, he used the backing track for Big Maybelle's Rojac release, with much more financial success than was the case for the Int'l KCP's.

certainly looks like its the one on the tape

just have to find it now !!! lol

She does have a really deep voice! Could still be her....

Actually just listened to it on soul club, she doesn't sound like a man, deep voice but not a man!
