Originally recorded in 1965 for Motown's subsidiary 'Soul' label, the scheduled release for Frank Wilson's 'Do I Love You' (pictured above) was shelved so he could concentrate on his work as a Motown producer.
Described by soul fans as, "the holy grail of soul." Only 2 known copies exist.
Possibly the most expensive 7" vinyl to own at an incredible £15,000!
This thread would not be complete without this record, but instead I've opted for Chris Clarke's version on the VIP label, which I much prefer.
Recorded to the same track only months after the original, sadly, it too remained unissued.
Clark became famous in England as the "white Negress" (a nickname meant as a compliment), because the six-foot platinum blonde, blue-eyed soul singer toured with fellow Motown artists.


Probably the most popular tune on the Northern Soul scene, 'Do I Love You' has just about everything including a great driving beat.
