I loved and bought this at the time, coming across it at Birmingham Locarno all-dayers. But at the time it was about it being a decent dancer. This video gives it a whole lot more personality and soul. Thanks for posting this.

Johnny Nash RIP
I picked up an issue copy of this on recommendation by @Eddie Hubbard without hearing it, when looking through some records at a soul night quite some years back. Agree, amongst many other fine records he made, this one is a really good one that is worth a listen - and a dance.

BBC 4 Soul America - 3 Part Series Friday 4th Sept 2020
Just watched it. The opening programme seemed pretty good. Some previously seen footage, but well packaged and interesting commentaries from people of the day and more current observers. I liked Duke Fakir’s record centre lapel badge too!

BBC Radio 2 - 24 Hours Of Music by Black Artists - I Have A Dream Day
Less obviously political but still making a point that aligns with MLK's march for equal rights. One of those examples where a cover can come through stronger:

I wonder if they'd give a thought to playing this during the 24 hours:

Win! Soul Voices - 60s Big Ballads Kent CD Competition
Good to see another competition. I've not clicked 'like' as I've already got the CD. Terrific compilation, highly recommend it. As always, excellent booklet of information about the tracks and artists too.

You Got The Power - Cameo Parkway Northern Soul CD
Wasn't a guy, maybe the son of the label owner, talking about releasing a CD of unissued Cameo-Parkway tracks when the film Green Book was coming out? I seem to remember reading about it as the film team were looking for music that would sound authentic for the era but didn't have the budget to pay big licence fees.

Betty Wright RIP
Sad news for sure.

Blue Juice Film Northern Soul Clips 1995
I don't know for sure, but was convinced when seeing the film that it was filmed in St Ives, or at least bits of it. Had no idea 'The Price of Pain' was a new track for the film. Nice little moments of Keb in there too.

Sad news Hamilton Bohannon RIP
Sad news. Listening back to this album earlier tonight, I can't believe how jazzy it was, and how discordant the piano was on so many tracks. And, having said that, how influential it was on my enjoyment of music, as I loved the whole album, especially side 2! I especially liked 'Happy Feeling' after picking up a demo.
