Interviews with Kenny Burrell, John Manship and Moi. It'll be tucked away within the show somewhere between some awful Rock stuff no doubt but they're tracking the auction and will interview Frank Wilson himself in the next couple of weeks so worth it for that alone........

Well done Ian. At least 6 Music got someone who knows their stuff to talk about it, nice one.

And come on everybody, I know everybody (it seems) hates the song but hearing the opening bars on the radio surely to God it must give you a little tingle down the spine...SURELY.

You've obviously not seen the previous ultra-long Frank Wilson thread.

I love it too and I'm always amazed at the animosity aimed at this track.

Its all the anoraks on here who in my opinion forget where they come from, Musically speaking, bet 90% of them danced to it in the past. Got my hard hat n flak jacket on

Also let's not forget that when it was discovered was during a period when some real drek was being played so it was like a throwback to the golden era and a classic Northern Motown tune in every sense of the word. In '78 that would have seemed like manna from heaven amongst amidst some of pop stuff that was masquerading as Northern Soul at the time.........

Well put together and well spoken Ian

I have just heard it on BBC iPlayer, an excellent, concise piece.

Was RW not available?

LOL, strangely enough Owosso hasn't been top of my priorities - it's been murder just trying to organise the BBC but hopefully things are beginning to accelerate now........

John did a live piece on BBC Radio Leicester last week as well plus a nice article in Record Collector coming up this week. Trying for Paul O'Grady as well.......

The Sun today - Bizarre column Page 18.....

"Singles may be 59p on t'internet but you'll need a bit more to bag the rarest seven-inch. One of just two copies of Sixties Northern Soul anthem "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" by Frank Wilson could hit £100,000 at auction this week".

The hype builds......

Off and running now.....
