Anyone know if the backing singers are the ones not headlining for the song but listed as the singers for the event, or another bunch altogether? Either way, they're good!

Strangely, although I was disappointed that it wasn't live on TV, I'm enjoying it more just listening via a decent speaker with some good bass (playing from the iPhone onto HomePod). It's kind of more like being there! The quality of music, singing and arrangement is really excellent, can't see it falling off here on in. 🍻👏🎶

I can't add a like to that but yes!

Track listing from the BBC Sounds link, not sure where to find confirmation of who the singers are on each specific track:

Absolutely. (Seems I can't post any more reaction likes for today)

Got ours going via iPhone on the HomePod - very happy with the sound.

The woman singing Gone With The wind doing an equally good job, and the orchestra on all of these has been really good too.

The guy singing Night Owl doing a great job on the phrasing. Impressed.

Good start.. MVPs (not MPVs as was on the website listing 🤣)

Finally got round to buying it, really like it.

I've just tried the link as, like others, I can't see anything on any BBC TV station for this evening. It shows the 'Prom 2 Northern Soul' as one of the listed proms within the TV guide, but clicking it takes you nowhere. As a test I clicked the link for tomorrow's prom (Vivaldi, The Four Seasons). That works and tells you it will be on BBC4. So I'm guessing that you can listen live to the Northern Soul one tonight, but it won't be on TV yet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/Nv86dGXjPQr1GQxQTfgWYS/proms-2023-on-bbc-tv

Not sure how many people were in the MPVs (🤣);

I think @Amsterdam Russ has the definitive answer on this, see above!

Bloody hell, this sounds good. Hope the trailer isn't cherry-picking!

Just spotted this documentary coming up this evening, Friday 9th June 2023. BBC4 at 10pm - 11pm.

2 great tracks!

Just spotted this earlier - like yourself, interested to see them perform.

Guessing that's the Questlove Summer of Soul? Even if not, I'll nominate that if it counts.

Just heard it earlier today via Simply Soul sound samples - excellent track!

Fascinating listening Chalky thanks. Hopefully Sidney and others involved with Shrine felt uplifted by the interest in their recordings, even if they didn't end up emulating the Stones!

Strangely similar Phil, in case you've not come across this, is a wonderful recording by Gil Scott-Heron released in 2010:

That had me salivating! I loved buying soul packs, but never got from from Oldies Unlimited. Sounds like I missed out....

Not much information on this link to the Gallery event but if people know a bit more maybe chip in with a bit more detail. https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/events/soul-bag/?utm_source=Whitechapel+Gallery&utm_campaign=bed97d935b-Exhibitions+Monthly+-+Nov+2018_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b9a2c76a12-bed97d935b-253330905&mc_cid=bed97d935b&mc_eid=28e9a0a770

The 1st pair of episodes came over strongly; looking forward to the final two.

Mine came this morning at last. No bubblewrap, just a card envelope that looked like the company sell calendars rather than records. The single was in a relatively stiff sleeve wrapped in shrinkwrap type plastic. That was it. No delivery note inside, no apology from Charly for the delay. And no notice anywhere that the contents were fragile, shouldn't be bent etc. Thankfully the postie rang the bell and handed it to me rather than trying to get it through the letter box.
