@the yank clip is from American Bandstand 1967. There is also another clip of 'Felice Taylor - I feel love coming on' but that is from 'Beat Club' which is a German Music Tv Show

With regard to her upsetting DJ's ..... it's said that when she went on radio stn visits to help promote her Mustang releases, she acted very high-handed, was bad mannered and basically 'upset the DJ'

She appeared at the Saville Theatre in London in the series of Sunday evening concerts put on by Brian Epstein who had leased the theatre in 1965, initially to put on plays. I was a regular visitor to
Felice Taylor's solo recording career started with a bang, got her international success & was over in a flash .... By all accounts, she upset US radio DJ's and hence, the management at her US record label and was quickly dumped.
But not before, 3 or so of her LA recordings (masterminded by guys like Barry White with help from Frank Wilson and assocs) had hit the bigtime in the UK (and from there, in Europe also). She visited the UK to promote her President 45's, made TV appearances (does video of any still exist ... is the "Winter Outside" video a UK effort ?). She even recorded here, with Eddie Grant being her producer ... but she returned to the States and instantly disappeared off the music scene.
A few questions ..... did she make any UK club appearances, singing live ... She spent some weeks over here but I'm sure she didn't play any northern venues. Maybe she did a couple of London clubs, but I have no details of which (if she actually did).
Why wasn't I Feel Love Coming On" released in the US ??
Why wasn't a US cut track utilised as the A side of her last UK 45, why get Eddie Grant to produce a poppy cut in a London studio instead ??
I believe that the cut of "I Feel Love" included on the BOSS SOUL CD is different to the UK 45 track, why ??
Who decided to cut Linda Carr on the song & release that version in the US ?
?
It seems that she's still around in LA, perhaps a UK promoter could fetch her back over here for a live show or two.
