See you listened to Bad Luck try and check the 6min album version with its social comment rap and bearing that in mind spin a few of the social comment motown tracks like Ball of Confusion Temps War (!) Edwin Starr leading on to Inner City Blues (Marvin) you may chance dropping Lamont Doziers Fish aint Biting or some Bobby Womack Good Luck John

Remember one of Northern Souls factors is the obscurity/unavailability of most of the tracks. Obviously down to the lack of airlplay/sales so if it wasn't popular then it sure wont be popular now. My own experience of this. I worked in Denmark in the 70s I was fresh from Wigan and had tapes of all the sounds Frank Beverly,Christine Cooper Bobby Treetop etc. I spent a lot of time with 2 black ex pats one from Georgia and the other from Detroit The job involved a lot of car travel Mack and Nat frequently recieved tapes from back home and our journeys were accompanied by a mix of my Northern and thier contemporary sounds, (they liked David Bowie) On the more soul/funk side the tunes were Fred Wesley and the horny horns, Bensons World is a ghetto, Harold Melvin Bad Luck (as opposed to dont leave me this way, all my freinds etc.) Curtis Mayfield I did try and talk to Nat the Detroitian about Motown and all that stuff but he didn't have any real knowledge of the place. I came away with the opinion that those guys were into the GROOVE, rather than my 100mph stompers

The album was well promoted along with I'll be around and you make it heaven, there was a nice duet with Roy Ayers Who's that stranger

Cant get refrosoul to play on my pc. I have listened in the past on this pc so I don't think its the pc I can open the window and view the track but it stays blank I don't see that rotating cicle thing even after waiting for some time. Anybody having the same problem? I'm no expert so keep it simple. many thanks John
