Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Played it to death; it's got a lovely, scratchy sound now. V sensual song.

An old mate sent me a playlist this morning called "The Youth Club Special" and I know exactly what he means .... I guess you have to be of a certain age :-) Who remembers this one? It's a bit poppy, but was big on the Northern Scene for a while.

Oh, and how about this one? Unusually for "real" soul music afficionados I'm quite fond of Diana Ross and the Supremes, they had a unique sound and I have always loved Diana's voice.

While we're on the subject of Motown, let me share a really esoteric bit of history with you:

Don't be fooled by that Motown label on the video, this was never released as a single - notice that Sony hold the recording rights? As I understand it, "Stormy" was an Motown album that was only released in Germany (?) and found fame on the rare soul scene in the early 2000s. It's good isn't it? I like it anyhow!

I bought A Lover's Concerto when I was a kid and was obsessed with it, along with my mate Helen. I must've been a budding NS fan even at a young age.

I much prefer the Supremes before reedy-voiced Diane got promoted by her boyfriend Berry.

Bricomaligno, who has a YouTube channel has a comprehensive NS selection. Noticed they posted Stormy and I keep unearthing tracks on their channel.

You know who he is, right RS? "Bricomaligno" is Martin Barnfather (aka Soul Sam). He has a truly awesome collection of records, one of the very best. He must be in his 80s now and as far as I know he's a batchelor with little or no family. I hope he has a good plan in place for those records!

I didn't know that NS. Yes! I hope he has a good plan for all that soul wax.
