This was the first 'Northern Soul ' record I simply could not get my head around when it first came out....and still can't. Blurred my lines.. Packed the floors though. Ed

International? Ed

Ha ha.....whodathoughtit! I want to hear the Monday Blues version:) Like Shinehead, nothing I've heard so far is doing it for me. Ed

Mamas & Papas Ed

Best version of the snap tune beforehand. Enhancing the topic with graphic illustration of power can be:) Ed

This is OK as long as you don't listen to the words. Would get banned today... Ed

In its simplest form... Ed

Used to have this LP... Great dancer back in the day. Not heard it out in many years.. Ed

Ok I guess you would know this by speaking with the late Frank/Eddie. You learn something every day. I had no idea this was Frank also. If I would have.....I would have asked him to sing it at the LA 2004 gig. What other labels did Frank record on around that time? Ed

Yer but... F Wilson writing credit E Wilson artist. Surely Frank would have disguised both? The plot thickens... Ed

So is Frank Wilson also Eddie Wilson or is it a relative? Ed

Very sad. Amazing career and unique voice. Just browsing and came across this gem. Hope it's the same Ronnie ! Never heard it out but looks like he also wrote it. Only ever heard the Agents version. Ed

It's very likely that folks drawn to the Northern Soul scene between 13 and 17 years old, whenever that was, would have liked the more 'easy to listen to ' variety, more than the hard core stuff. Hence when this came out, for us ' youth's it was frenetic. On the other hand the old timers ( over 18 year old) would have probably balked at it and considered leaving the scene:) It was THEE record for nappy nights along with reaching for the best at Baileys....up and down the country. Different fashion, different dances, different sounds... Great memories, and still Northern Soul for many, even if they never made it to the next stage and moved on to all nighters etc. Ed

Debatable which is the second best version, but for sure when I sing along to this karaoke version, it's the worst version:) Ed

Donna Summer RIP. Great disco tune. Ed

Deffo not disco. Brilliant 'danceable ' soul ' record. Not even a good example of a record that crosses over imo. Crossover disco.....northern Later on Ed

I was also confused by the name but the locals insisted it's their claim to fame:) Ed

If you do find out...let me know, but nobody else:) Shows what I know...i thought Eddie Parker was rarer than Don Gardner! They will all be cheap as chips one day. Might be a while yet though. Ed

The boy can sing! Oh Lord Real floor filler with a poignant message! Ed

Indeed a year passed already.. Toot Toot surely her most famous tune? Ed

River Lea Ware. Gazebo capital!

Funky pigeon! Ed

Got this in a soul pack years ago and it was the first record I had heard by Howard Later I got Baby I love you, and then a few more started to appear like Half a man. Very powerful singer indeed. Ed

Really sad news, and another heroine moves to the next world RIP. Nice tribute here on the tube: Ed

The girl can sing! Ed
