New 45 - Soul Direction - Helene Smith View full article
Soul Direction has a new addition to their 'Origins' imprint, due out on the 9th May 2022, details and audio below Helene Smith - The Pot Can't Talk About The Kettle / Gossip Don't Worry Me - Soul-Direction SDO-1005 Sleeve Notes Regarded as Miami’s First Lady of Soul this talented performer recorded for Lloyd, Deep City, Phil L.A. Of Soul, Dash, and Dade labels. The two tracks in question were believed to be her first recording on the Blue Star label around 1964. Written by Willie Clarke and arranged by Arnold Albury, this 45 was Issued with a quantity of only 300 copies and has remained extremely rare. Soul Direction Records believe this Re Release will give it the exposure and popularity it truly deserves. # My story with this 45 started in the eighties after picking up a copy in the USA, albeit a pretty beaten up copy and was covered up in the true Northern soul style of the day but played very little due to it’s condition. I managed to purchase a better copy in the nineties and at that time still remained very obscure and certainly much unheard. Since then it has gained some exposure due to the “Eccentric Soul” series from The Numero Group covering all the Deep City and related catalogues. Helene Smith was not only the first artist to record for Clarke-Pearsall Productions, Miami’s first independent black production company, she was also the only artist on Miami’s Deep City label to record a full[1]length LP entitled “Sing’s Sweet Soul” which again commands a high price due to it’s rarity. Helene met Johnny Pearsall, who was looking to become a teacher and was friends with Willie Clarke from school days. He had financed a record for a local Tallahassee group with a loan from his mother and eventually teamed with Clarke, and Albury with what would become Deep City Records. Helene and Johnny were married when she was 23, after most of her Phil-LA of Soul recordings were released. They continued to live in Miami and had one daughter, who became a lawyer. Johnny Pearsall also owned a record store in Miami and continued to work with music until his untimely death. Helene Smith carried on his mission working with children and herself became a teacher in the Miami school district, teaching first graders. Helene is currently still performing and recording when she can. She was and still remains a superlative artist and her recordings for all the above labels are still as good as anything played on or around the soul scene.

The Guardian running an interview with Brian Jackson Pieces of a Man, their 1971 album, established Scott-Heron as a unique voice and sold a respectable 30,000 copies. Gil soon insisted Brian’s name be alongside his and, from 1974’s Winter in America up to 1980’s 1980, every album they recorded was credited – at least on the album covers – to Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson. Signed by Clive Davis to Arista Records, the two lived, worked, wrote and toured together. “My best memories of that time are being at home and watching TV with Gil,” says Jackson. “We’d see how corporate America was trying to infiltrate our minds and, out of that, wrote a lot of songs.” When Gil Scott-Heron died in 2011 the many rappers, singers and musicians he inspired paid fulsome tribute. Now, more than a decade on, the music Jackson and Scott-Heron made is heard everywhere, and Jackson is reclaiming his role in it by performing their songs with great joy and generosity. It seems living well is the best reward. “As a child I heard Max Roach’s Parisian Sketches and it enchanted me,” says Jackson. “How music could paint a picture of a place. Since then music’s been what I’ve always wanted to do. I’m so happy to be back.” Brian Jackson plays Cheltenham jazz festival on 2 May. This Is Brian Jackson is released by BBE on 27 May. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/apr/27/i-was-consumed-with-anger-brian-jackson-gil-scott-herons-brilliant-badly-wronged-partner

(Duke embarked on a similar effort with author Peter Knobler some years ago, but it didn’t come to pass.) The Tops’ mightiest hit will, of course, figure in the stage musical about their life and times, also dubbed I’ll Be There. This is expected later in the year, with a prospective Broadway run preceded by a debut in Detroit....

New 45 - Soul Direction - Norman Feels - Don't (alt) / More Love - Out May 2022 View full article
Latest word from Soul Direction, a new release featuring 2 x previous unreleased tracks... Soul Direction are pleased to announce the next release in the catalogue. SD-009 - Norman Feels - "Don't"- (Original Edit)/ "More Love" - (Soul Direction) Scheduled Release Date - May 2022 Little is known about Norman Feels (AKA Norman Solomon) other than he was an underground soul singer in the first half of the 1970s. Norman Feels released two albums on Just Sunshine Records and seemingly then disappeared back into obscurity but leaving us with some wonderful music. In 1973 he released a self-Titled album and in 1974 the album entitled "Where or When" However, these two tracks were recorded a year earlier in 1972, we believe in Detroit but mastered at Sterling sound studios in New York but cannot be 100% sure. This might explain the fact that "Don't" is a different mix to the later LP and "More Love" never saw a release. "Don't" is a different and much punchier version of the Album track and could have presumably been recorded as a possible 45 release for another label but was shelved. The B side "More Love" as far as we can tell never saw the light of day other than these acetates that were purchased via a sound engineer from the studios much later. Over the years the songs from his albums have been sampled by famous acts such as Ghostface Killah, to Nas and Kanye West.

A new book by Duke Fakir is due out next month in kindle and hardback versions... Details follow below, the kindle preview should show once the book has been released I'll Be There: My Life with the Four Tops By Duke Fakir with Kathleen McGhee Anderson Spanning over decades, this is the remarkable, heartfelt memoir from Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir, the last surviving member of The Four Tops. Amidst a backdrop of Detroit, I’ll Be There features revealing anecdotes from the group’s formation, their early days as backup singers for the likes of Jackie Wilson, and their years working with Berry Gordy at the legendary Motown Records. With era-defining number ones like ‘I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)’ and ‘Reach Out I’ll Be There’ came stardom and also a more enduring reward: the love of four men who become tighter than brothers. Together they comprise one of the most celebrated R&B groups of all time. But remarkable musical success didn’t spare Fakir the pain of marital distress, soured investment deals, struggles with sobriety and the sudden loss of his brothers, all of which he covers in this confessional, unmissable book. Publisher : Omnibus Press (5 May 2022) Language : English Hardcover : 224 pages
