Just revisiting this article as Sound of Soul (Bobbi & Michi) are mentioned.

their Josie 45 "Wrapped up tight" is a firm favourite of mine. Does anybody have more details about Bobbi and/or Michi? Like who they are?

firm favourite of mine too...and there treatment of ( the oldie crooner) 'stranger in paradise' is something also.

@Kenb:

As you wrote the article back then do you have any info about Bobbi & Michi by chance?

@Benji- short answer No.

When i spoke (& from my email notes) to Tom DeCillis his memory was a bit vague and i didn't press him on Sound of Soul. Tom was into a lot of stuff at the time.Tom's musical interests during that time was with Bernadette Carroll-The Angels, PM for ARC recording artists The Dynamics, had been Astro's promo man, Julia records, T-D, Bobby Lee, and so it goes on.

Ed Leipzig would probably have been the man to ask...unfortunately i didn't!
