Detroit's Secret Soul - Little Ann - LP Kent
A just released vinyl lp from Kent Records featuring Little Ann, who's work should really need no intro to all you Soul Source regulars, on offer a vinyl LP of 13 Little Ann tracks (also avail for download), the release notes and preview follow below Detroit's Secret Soul - Little Ann - LP Kent 518 Preview In the last two decades, Little Ann’s music has gone from being almost unheard to celebrated widely across the world. Initially known only as a footnote for having one side of one Ric-Tic single in 1968, the discovery and playing of her acetate of ‘What Should I Do’ at Wigan Casino in the late 70s meant her name become important to rare soul fans (when it was revealed that Little Ann was the real singer of the song erroneously attributed to Rose Valentine at the time). Once Ace Records acquired Dave Hamilton’s Detroit studio tapes, through the auspices of researcher Richard Gilbert, more previously unheard gems came to light and eventually there were found to be nine songs recorded in 1967 and 1968 with Dave and his partner Darrell Goolsby. The dancers ‘Who Are You Trying To Fool’, ‘Sweep It Out In The Shed’ and ‘Lean Lanky Daddy’, proved to be perfect additions for the Northern Soul dance scene, while ‘I Gotta Have You’ and ‘Possession’ wowed the funk crowd, and the beauty of ‘Deep Shadows’ got through to every ...

Van McCoy & Friends - Dancin'- Club Soul Lp
The Charly Records imprint Club Soul has just pushed out a new vinyl release. Dancin' - Van McCoy & Friends - Charlyl 318 Dancin' is a reissue plus of the 1970s lp that was released by SSS in 1976, which was actually made up of late 1960s recordings from... Van McCoy & friends. The company blurb below follows the preview clips and has the full story and details. Preview Listen VAN McCOY & FRIENDS - DANCIN' Originally released in 1975 on SSS International LP 33 REMASTERED FROM ANALOGUE TAPES INCLUDES PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED INSTRUMENTAL OF "AIN'T GOT NO LOVE" HEAVY-WEIGHT VINYL Side One Sweet And Easy If I Could Make You Mine The Generation Gap Help Is On The Way What Kind Of A Man Side Two The Woman Who Made Me A Man Just Another Dress Rehearsal With All My Heart Ain't Got No Love Back Trackin' Ain't Got No Love (BONUS Instrumental) Van Allen Clinton McCoy was born in Washington D.C., Jan 6, 1940 and would go on to become an internationally acclaimed music producer, arranger, conductor and writer with over 700 songs to his credit. To the pop buying public he is known for his 1975 Grammy Award® chart-topper “The Hustle”, which at the time of recording was a throw-away track on a low-budget instrumental album called Disco Baby. McCoy was unable to repeat the success, and within three years, in 1979, he died of a heart attack at the age of only 39. To rare soul fans Van McCoy is a hero: THE most prolific writer and producer of Northern Soul of all time, working with a host of legendary artists including… Barbara Lewis, Jackie Wilson, The Vonettes, Gene Chandler, The Sweet things, Barbara Mercer, Irma Thomas, Ruby & The Romantics, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Bobby Reed, David Ruffin, The Ad libs, Billy Woods, Dee Dee Warwick, Chris Bartley, Tony Talent, Betty Everett, Juanita Williams, and Kendra Spotswood (aka Sandi Sheldon) with whom he had a five year relationship. DANCIN’ was released by Shelby Singleton in 1976 on his SSS International label and attributed to Van McCoy & Friends, although none of the “friends” are actually listed on the album. Clearly this was released to cash in on the worldwide success of “The Hustle” and McCoy himself probably had little to do with it. All of the ten original songs were recorded much earlier, circa 1968-69, and all but three – “Sweet And Easy”, “If I Could Make you Mine” and “The Generation Gap” – had been languishing, unheard and unreleased, in the Nashville vaults ever since. It is hard to believe that the album, with its kitsch cover and out-of-kilter track list, garnered any commercial success at the time, although it did get a release in Australia. However, copies soon filtered through into the UK and into the hands of club DJs at Wigan Casino with perhaps “Help Is On The Way” becoming the stand-out track. Richard Searling played the mid-tempo “Just Another Dress Rehearsal” in the latter days of the club while unreleased instrumental versions of “Ain’t Got No Love” and “Dress Rehearsal” were played post-Wigan. It has long been contested just who the mysterious vocalists are. Chris Bartley is the favourite, although Van himself almost certainly appears on some of the tracks. Either way, Club Soul are proud to present the first ever reissue of this cult album, complete with the aforementioned, previously unreleased, instrumentals. https://clubsoul.club/VAN-McCOY-&-FRIENDS-DANCIN-LP-p132011914
