...Darrell Banks (OLIITP) was the ultimate whilst getting into Northern Soul in the mid 70s - awesome stuff !!! I thought... It just blew me away and was massive hit in the youth clubs back then ..I guess at the time I should have been studying for ma exams but all I could think about was this music and visiting a guy selling records on Worksop market (Pete Ward ) he was raving on about and kept playing a version by JJ Barnes .. ... Now just listening again and with time  I thought  JJ may kinda  just  nudge it ??? 

 

See what you think ?

Darrell Banks' OLIITP is and always will be my all time top soul record. It's a record I never get tired of hearing.  JJ Barnes a close second but the original is still the greatest.

I was there the day we found his unmarked grave in Detroit. No 539! The same number as the flight I got from new York to Detroit on that holiday, and the same number as my address in Hull when I first bought a Darrell Banks single (well it came in 100 soul singles from 'Soulscene/Telford).

Spooky...He was born in Mansfield (Ohio), I was born in....you know the rest!

Darrell for me, mentions of the flip brought a great rush. It was still a big nighter sound when I first started going and that rumbling out the speakers just blew me away and I still get that certain tingle whenever I listen to it.

Darrell Banks for me as well, the first version I heard.

Seems pretty unanimous

Really! Interesting......
