L.J. Johnson - Your Magic Put A Spell On Me
Northern Soul flavour, my first two attempts both entered the top 30 simultaneously, and Evelyn Thomas, with "Weak Spot", and LJ Johnson, with this song, "Your Magic Put A Spell On Me", both appeared on Top Of The Pos in the same week, in February 1976. Imagine a twenty two year old DJ, a newcomer to record production, who tried to make some new records and had two artists on Top Of The Pops in the same week. It still amazes me. ...

Alfie Davison - Love Is A Serious Business
Records, which is astonishingly rare and hard to find, especially considering that it is on a major label. I have known Reid Whitelaw for many many years, and asked him to find Alfie for me, which he did, and we filmed this in a cold February on the streets of Brooklyn. Alfie had never actually performed this song before, and this is the only time you can ever see him do this classic. ...

Clifford Curry - I Can't Get Hold Of Myself
labels to keep his career in full swing. This classic song from 1967, "I Can't Get Hold Of Myself", was a real favourite back in the late 1960s at the Twisted Wheel, at the very inception of the Northern Soul scene. It came out on Elf Records in America, but even got a British release on the Pama label. Clifford is a consummate professional, and was very excited to be a part of "The Strange World Of Northern Soul." ...

Edwin Starr - Darling Darling Baby
himself asked to make. While we were doing Motorcity, I wrote over a hundred songs with him, and I find it so hard to accept that he's no longer with us, that sometimes I almost want to pick up the phone to him, and have to stop myself. Someone like Edwin was so full of life and vigour and vitality, that it's easy to think he'll always be around, and that much harder to accept that he truly is gone. But never, NEVER, forgotten. ...

Edwin Starr - Back Street
what we were trying to do with Motorcity, and indeed, was our greatest ambassador for it, ceaselessly championing it everywhere he went. A true gentleman and a true friend. This song was one of his earliest releases originally, back in 1965 on the legendary Ric-Tic label, from out of Detroit, which got absorbed by Motown, and this became a record that over the decades, people cared about very passionately. ...

Ray Pollard - The Drifter
to Les Cokell, who had been the main DJ who first pioneered the Northern Soul Scene as we know it today. Ray had lost one arm, and had a prosthetic, so as an actor, he became very prolific in film and TV, anytime they needed a one armed man, including Harrison Ford's remake of The Fugitive. Sadly he died of cancer in early 2005. A really lovely man, and a true gentleman, who would do anything for anyone at any time. ...

Frankie Gaye - My Brother
Saturday night, after it had poured down all day. I was sitting next to Berry Gordy's sister, Esther Edwards, and she gasped in shock when Frankie appeared, and said it was like seeing a ghost. I am so glad we can now look at this amazing performance. Sadly Frankie, just like his brother Marvin, has now passed on to that soul concert in the sky, but I shall always be so proud of this wonderful song, "My Brother". ...
