Hi Darryl.

I would estimate that your NIACI record has been heard by at least 500,000 rare soul lovers since it got re-discovered. Scepter/Wand had some absolute gems released, and even if not commercially 'big time' in most cases, they have a worldwide following.

There's another thread on here about a soul event in Chicago in a few weeks time. Although I will not be going, Im sure if you could get there (come on Mr Roberts, please ensure the needful!!) and experience the warmth and dedication of those who are going, you would understand much more how artists like yourself created a 'way of life' for many people.

Keep the faith, and I hope you could get up there to get the adulation you deserve.

Thanks for the information Ed. Can someone provide me a little more information about the Chicago event. When? Where? Cost for attending? Nearby hotel? I would like to try to make it there.

Thanks,

Darryl

Here's the info for the Chicago event Darryl.

You can either PM them on here: the golden 101, or just contact them direct via the website.

Hi Giulio. Thank you for the compliments. I guess I started singing as a youngster. Somehow I was able to always carry a tune which was the extent of my training :lol: . I never received anything formal, so I'll have to say it was just a gift from God. My cousin, who was 7 years older than I, had a group in high school and I use to try and sing along with them at their practices. I was only around 8 or 9 at the time and pretty much was just getting in the way. I guess that's really where it started. It just progressed from there. I formed a group in high school (never recorded anything) and another in college (no recordings there either). I just loved singing. After coming home from college, a friend of mine sent Billy and Ray to my house (Ray I knew from the area and from his group Ray and the Darchaes (sp)). So after singing a few songs for them, we got together and started working on getting some recordings done.

I was never much of a writer; just a line here or there, but nothing significant. (My son is a prolific writer and has some great tunes recorded. I don't want to mention anything without his permission. Let's just say that he does extremely well. He's currently in St. Barts in the caribbean for the next 6 weeks on a working vacation). If I recall correctly, Name It was completed in 2 recording sessions. The first took about 4 hours, most of which was used laying down the rhythm tracks. My vocals only took a few takes (I think there were 4 for Name It and 2 for Cross My Heart). The second session, which I did not attend until it was over was to record the "sweeteners" as they were called in those days; the horns, strings, etc. I got to to studio to work with the final mix.

These sessions were independent recordings (we had no record deal at the time of the sessions). We then shopped the tracks to several major labels at the time. Florence Greenberg, the owner of the Sceptor / Wand labels, offered us the best deal. The rest, as they say, is history as far as NIACI is concerned.

Hope this answered some of your questions. And thanks again.

yes, it certainly did! :D

I just finished speaking with Ray Dahroughe. We're going to try to get together this weekend with Billy Terrell. Ray knows about the site and I'm going to try and convince him to to take a look. If he doesn't, I'll try to keep everyone up to date on their travels and what they've been doing. I know Ray had a Christmas CD released as well as a few other songs by some other artists. I'll hopefully have much more to add in the next few days.

Darryl,

Why dont you get Ray & Billy to meet up with you in Chicago next month for the soul week, it would be great to meet Billy again and you and Ray can see what all this northern soul is about.

pur soul darryl welcome.Billy.

Thanks for the compliment. Just in case anyone is interested, I am meeting with Ray Dahroughe on Monday (possibly Billy Terrell if he can make it) and I'll be sure to show them this site. I'm sure they will be extremely pleased to learn how popular they are. I just had a very long conversation with Ray about some of old recordings by the Persians, Hesitations, Ray, Goodman, and Brown, the Manhattans, Debbie Taylor and others. I'll try to get him to post something in this thread when he's here. Here's Ray's MySpace page:

Hi,

Ray did a remake of the 'I can see him making love to you baby' himself, and it was a decent uptempo version, but the Anderson Brothers original was ground breaking.

This record was significant in that along with several others of the same style it brought about a change in the rare soul scene.

That change is still contested over 25 years later!!

Wish him well.

Hi Darryl,

It may surprise you and indeed Ray, to learn that all those artists you have mentioned had discs released in Japan around the time of their initial releases!

Hi Flynny. Thanks for the info. I met with Ray today for a few hours to talk about old times. He should be visiting the site soon. I helped him set up an account while he was here. He is just as amazed as I about the popularity of his songs.

Ray had some problems with the registration for the site. I think we've got it all straightened out. So hopefully he should be on soon. I will tell you that he types in all caps.

Mel,

I will certainly tell Ray. He, like myself, may not know of his "fame". And I will certainly tell him of this site. Just thinking back.....man....Ray could really sing, but never really recorded himself.

Hi Darryl

Welcome to Soul Source... Just been in conversation with my husband re Ray Dahrouge and did you know Ray actually cut a version of the Anderson Brothers tune "I can see him making love to you" that came out over here on 12" circa 1978?? My husband extends his best wishes and would love to meet up with you if you decide to pay us a vist in the UK.

Best Wishes

Hi. Yes I knew about Ray's recording. He's had so many done over the years, it's hard to keep track at this point. We were talking about a possible visit to the UK in the future, Ray, Billy Terrell, and myself. Not sure how soon though, but we'd all like to meet with the Northern Soul family. It truly is amazing.

Regards,

Darryl

Hi Tony (MAK). Actually Ray Dahrouge and I have been talking about trying to get together to get to one of the conventions, whether here on in the UK. It still amazes me that after all these years I am remembered by so many. I never knew, nor would I have guessed at this reaction to my small contribution to the music world. Thanks so much to all of you who have thought so much of me. It certainly brings a tear to an old man's eyes.....what a wonder!

Wow! Really great to see a photo of you Darryl.

I think these earlier sixties photos are great, they just have something timeless about them. For me they bring the artist "alive" and not just a name on a label.

Would be interesting to see a modern photo of you Darryl as you are nowadays if you can. Doesn't matter with the space limit as one of us could post it

Thanks. I cut Name It only a few years later. I'm still looking for the promo photo from my Musicor days. I'll post a newer one soon. Regards, Darryl

Well done Darryl.

The jigsaw is finally coming together.

Let's hope the Musicor one turns up too.

While we're waiting, you can post up Darryl 2009!

We can then add them all to the artists gallery. :-)

Hey just come across this thread.... welcome Darryl..

what a blinding read this thread has been.. :thumbsup:

Thank you. I'm not sure if anyone would be going, but I'm leaving on a short cruise out of New York City tomorrow, April 4, on the Norwegian Gem. If any Soul Source members are on board, I'd love to meet up with you. I know this may be a little 'far fetched,' but just thought I'd mention.

Also, I had the pleasure a couple of weeks back to finally see my son play at BB Kings in New York City to celebrate Sly Stone's 66th birthday. Sly's original drummer, Greg Errico, played along with several other members. And what a thrill (and embarrassment) for me when my son called me on stage and had me sing along with him to Sly's ThankYouForLettinMeBeMyself. I even got a small round of applause. Sure had been a long time. Anyway......sorry for going on about my son's exploits. Guess I'm still living my dream through him.

And thanks again to everyone who's been so very kind to me.

I have been trying to locate copies of two of Darryl records on Wand - Must know magic and Cross my heart, both monster hits in the vinyl collectors market place. I am actually working for a large vinyl producer located in Toronto and would love to license both records for re-issue. Hoping Darryl can get in-touch to get the ball rolling.

He was active on his youtube page (alt recording of NIACI) about a year ago so I've tried to contact him on there for you. Any luck hearing from him Pat?
