Yes, Martyn - was it a reversal of a name and initial?

Passion for anything surely heightens the abilities to evaluate it enthusiastically. :)

Bizarrely, I don’t think we’ve had this one yet, it was one of the first songs that I remember being classified as Northern Soul....

^ Great song - with most of the characteristics which, to me, make up the Northern Soul 'sound'.

Sounds the very epitome of ‘Northern Soul’ to me, although I know from NE that it’s a much broader church than thought of by the uninitiated

I've just updated the Playlist: We've had 322 spins with remarkably few repeats, most popular plays are Darrell Banks "Open the Door to Your Heart" and MVPs "Turning My Heartbeat Up", each with three outings. If anyone wants a copy, just let me know.

Searching for a classic we've not had before and I don't think this one has been played yet .....

I guess everyone knows that one. Billy was the brother of the more famous Jerry Butler, he of "Moody Woman" fame. He had another one that was a biggie on the NS scene, this is a belter:
