The very Top of The Cross-over Soul Tree sits this 45.
So delicious, words for this moment, escape me...I'm having to compose myself to correctly review Leonard's easy strolling vocal style, supported by an uncredited vocal group as Cross-Over Northern Soul..at it's outer-most-brilliance.
Fans of the NS Crossover-Sound will be in ecstasy, as this endangered species from Chicago plays out 2.30 minutes of pure perfection. It's places like Great Yarmouth "Soul Essence" "The Orwell" and all those collector early doors sets, when the sheer-quality of the music is the deciding factor in turntable choice.
Ridiculously RARE and so darn-good, it hurts not to own a copy...and I know, because I don't.

Barbara English
(you Got Me) Sittin' In Te Corner
DJ's put your Rita & The Tiaras, Gloria Jones's and the like to the back of your box, time to excite and jog a few memories!
Shame on you and certainly shame on me, I must admit I've not played this 45 in any DJ set for near 40 years. I remembered it was a quality tune, but frankly after taking the headphones off, I'm sitting here in awe of this 45s massive feel-good factor.
Barbara English's sweet vocal, Al Capps's pumping horn backing, cooing n' oohing girls drizzling even more class on the whole session. Choppy vocal interchanges melt within a mountain of brass, then a refreshing piano solo. Oh the whole thing works so well - so me and all oldies DJs it's time to think a little further than the obvious.
Yes, I am hanging my head ... well until Saturday the 21st when the "Mighty Stute" will rattle to it's unbridled excellence!! Ginger watch out!

Eddie Holland

IMHO and many others consider Eddie Holland as Motown's most accomplished male vocalist in the late 50s / early 60s. If it wasn't for his reluctance to appear on stage his singing career could have been meteoric! Check out his United Artists Berry Gordy recording - you'll hear a staggeringly fine vocal!
This William Mickey Stevenson project again showcases Eddie ease of hitting the high notes without so much as a tremor. Co-written by Barrett Strong a partnership that created a pile of early Motown classics.
This example was Eddie's biggest USA hit - but you are viewing the stupidly rare non-selling English release, that sits high on the list of all Tamla Motown Brit-collectors wish lists.
Besides all the rarity talk, the need to fill that annoying gap in your TMGcollection, it's a stand alone 1962 Motown masterpiece and a song that underlines Eddie Holland as a vocalist with few rivals.

There is nothing more we can say about what this 45 the offers the listener and dancer two decidedly awesome examples of our music. Listen and jet off to Northern Soul Dreamland, on your return be sure to bid and try and own one of the greatest Northern Soul 45s ever made.
