The very first real Northern Soul record I ever heard was a WMCD deal, Groovin' at the go go - Alan S was playing it on my first visit to the Cats at Wolverhampton Have to say I've fallen in love with "Another chance", "Rain" & Uptown re-recording of "Unbelievable" since then.

General Johnson Rip
Dave As a kid growing up in soul-starved London in the late 60s and very early 70s Invictus & Hot Wax kept us going, his voice, so unique, seem to remember the H-D-H gang saying that him & Levi Stubbs were the greatest singers they'd ever worked with. Oh well another one gone.

General Johnson Rip
One of souls' mega stars from the Showmen to Chairman of the board, what a talent, what a voice, we'll see him in that big all-nighter in the sky.....
