Hi Russ Sorry to hear about your troubles. Just had a quick look at your new channel - is it all storming northern and RnB. Is there any 70's or crossover on there. I know
Earlier this week my YouTube channel of four years, and which went under the name of HarveySoulFinger, was deleted.
I had something like 79 vids of classic and semi-obscure Northern Soul, R&B and some gospel. There was also about a dozen or more unreleased tracks of various types. The channel had over 300,000 views and had accumulated over 400 subscribers, and I know a number of people here had subscribed to it.
I'm now trying to rebuild the channel under a new name - Loma Russ - and am re-uploading the video tracks one by one. It's a slow job because as well as uploading them there's also descriptions and tags to be done. Reckon I'm about halfway now.
What's really sad about the deletion of the account is that over the four years it was active, a number of artists, friends of artists, and relatives of deceased artists, had kindly commented on posts. As examples, there were comments from relatives of Joan Baker (Everybody's talking), Beverly Shaffer and James "Lucky" Carmichael. A member of Dry Well had made a number of comments about the origin of the group and how they came to sing "Gypsy" (and refuting the long-held belief that Ellen and the Shan-dels was the first release). A music colleague of legendary song writer Jimmy Webb had provided much insight about his friend and the lyrics to one of his compositions that was recorded by Thelma Houston, and which had never been released as a 45 (I have a 45 acetate of it).
All those comment are now gone, and that's a real shame.
For anyone who might be interested, my new channel is here:

Please do subscribe if it's at all of interest.
I'll continue to upload the now deleted tracks and get round to doing some new ones. I've a couple of great unreleased soul gems to add. No idea how long it'll take to get back to the previous numbers of views and subscribers. I think it's going to be a long haul!
Thanks for reading.
