liner notes on CD's are to die for...more often than not. -
Last CD i bought was 'Birth of Soul-Special DETROIT Edition 1961-1964' -Kent

best known for his work with the post-Motown Holland-Dozier-Holland label Invictus see previous thread -

I think i get the tone of your thread Jam66, and have some empathy with it in general. But...there's 360 million people in North America and many of them are in-tune with their ( and our NS /R&B/Soul) music history and culture. It's "like us" though, how many out of the total population of the UK ( is 54 million?) 'get it'?

Most know of the Payola scandals. But deducting Payola from income taxes as a business expense is a new one on me. -Feb 2nd 1967.
That is sad news...and an unhappy coincidence that i had just posted Northern Connections 13 in February which linked him into the story. One of the finest prod ucers/arrangers. RIP the "Wiz"
Willie Wade -"Come Into My World". Not outlandishly expensive...
I wonder if there are any more out there?
You might be mistaken about Kokomo. That was Jimmy "Wiz" Wisner's assumed name as an artist. We all know he was a great arranger/producer, but he released some material as a vocalist 'Asia Minor', etc.
Thread promted by the resurgent post “Celebs who are OR Have been into Northern Soul” Perhaps done before...but how about Film/TV stars that also became NS related artists without knowing! Just two to start... Nichelle Nichols - It's Been On My Mind Connie Stevens - Tick Tock
One of the Holidays was married to one of The Adorables. be warned though...i’m Having a bit of a mid- information day today. So check it.
I'm pretty sure David and you Kegsy are correct. Firstly-i've listened again to the Standout side all the way through. It's likely they are the girls with the guitars. Secondly, i have probably remembered and re-read some stuff i was doing on The Debonaires, plus The Debanaires (backing vocals on Spencer Stirling's Audrey sides). -and stuff i was doing on The Adorables- and remembered (wrongly) a thread (most likely on SD Forum) which had the Debutantes tied into it. Glad to be corrected.
Strong Foundation on Standout 601 doesn't sound ( to me that is) like a white female garage group
i wasn't thinking of those Debtantes David, but i could have got my faded notes and memories wrong. i think...(sorry i can't be more precise) The Debutants -without an "e" in their name, was possibly an aggregation of some members of The Dobonaires/The Adorables.
I'm going back quite a few years now...so from memory and scruffy notes ....this may not be quite right-but it should start you off if you need to find out more. joyce wilson (joyce vincent) was one of the Debutantes( 3 females.) maybe even Dorothy Garland? they were on (i think) Standout?
Northern Soul Connections #13 - The Sherry & Inverts Neighbourhood After a bit of a break we have the latest in Northern Soul Connections series, it's #13 and this time around its a look at Sherry and the Inverts and their 'neighbourhood' Read on The Sherry & Inverts Neighbourhood... you can view all of Kevs 13 Northern soul Connections via this link Hit here to view all Kevs Northern Soul connections
the club also owned many records itself (until they went...let's say missing)
I make no comment about the record itself. But 'On Topic' sounds....then
I wonder if what we are missing when we think back is...the wheel, Mecca, Casino, etc, went through at least two (more in some cases, M’s, etc) play/ music/ attendee transitions as they grew. That being the case, I for one often find myself now loving something I hated back then - and vice versa. or is that just rose tinted glasses?
so the OP -but what are the top sounds that maybe haven't had much play or re-release over the years. Well for this... i'm not sure "top sounds" would be a definition for some...but me -hell yeah.
