Heard this in the car on the way up to Rugby yesterday I hadn't heard it for years and got a real buzz.. I'm not a big fan of blue eyed soul but some really work and don't feel out of place( Paul Anka ICHLY is another). Sorry got no info on Jason Knight unfortunately.

Firstly, he is dead. Secondly he was white. His name was Derek Knight and he was managed by Gordon Mills of Tom Jones/ Engelbert Humperdink management fame. And, I shit you not, he was scheduled to be the first UK artist signed to Motown but his management advised against this. How do you know I'm not making all this up? Well Mick Smith was selling a copy of Our Love Is Getting Stronger two weeks back, and Jason Knight's daughter got in touch with him and told him all about her Dad, and the letter she has from Motown. 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Very interesting Pete . This puts a bit more flesh on the bones of a tale I heard years ago , that Motown had only signed Kiki Dee following not being able to sign two other artists , one of them being dusty Springfield due to contractual implications .

The Loving Kind did a version of "Ain't That peculiar", one of the earliest Motown covers by a UK band. Very collectable group.
