Nice band, but the girl needs more soul in her voice.

That's no critism though, as it's a better attempt than Dexy's effort. Living up to the real thing is never going to be an easy task;

hanx for diggin the berry tweed video, and a fair and honest repost

Being strictly a deep soul song it doesn't really belong here in a thread about Northern Soul...but it does give me another excuse to post a youtube vid of it.

And at the risk of sounding like Ian L***ne...if a person doesn't feel this, then they're dead from the neck up! Very possibly the most perfect soul song of all time.

AHEM! I declared my undying love for it as soon as you showed me that song! Still love it now, i remember i actually but it on a mix cd for an old flame a few years ago but sadly it wasn't appreciated, i felt it was very appropriate though.

Feel free to contribute (though I doubt anyone will).
Feel free to ask questions on this incredible underground Soul scene, that's been going strong since the mid to late 60's, in the Soul clubs of Northern England.

KEEP THE FAITH.

hi...i am a vocalist touring the club scene in england....i really want to keep as near to the original sound as possible....so...to this end i am looking for the original instrumental track for frank wilsons classic...do i love you (indeed i do)....please let me know if such a recording is available....thanks,peter.

.....hello a fellow right track lover....this is a the very top of my personal tree too....i even have this in my set...i am a soul singer...and just love performing northern soul songs...and they go down very well live. the right track instrumental version is readily available on cd and the quality is good enough to use as a backing track....i am looking for instrumental versions of the following northern classis

baby make your own sweet music....jay and the techniques
michael........geno washington
do i love you.....frank wilson
ghost in my house.....r dean taylor

if anyone can point me in the right direction i would be most grateful.....i want to keep the performances a close to the originals as possible...

i very much doubt it.... theres the frank wilson version and the chris clark version... but they're both rare as f**k on vinyl....

the frank wilson version was ordered to be destroyed by berry gordy after he found the singer had recorded it on the sly.... the 2 (3 if u count tim's unplayable copy) are all that remain of the original run.... if you believe berry has one anyway...

randomly enough though, if he does have a copy, it would have been stored in the same crypt as MJ was before he was buried.... i think that can only be a good thing lol
