The artist Dena (Gardenia) Barnes was my sisters mother. Its so amazing how I was just googling her name for my interests and come across all of this love. Although I knew about the record I had never heard it. Gardenia helped raised me and I truly miss her. I had heard that a man from england came to detroit and met with her but thats as far as the story went. My aunt, who is her best friend, doesnt know what came of it. Wow just so amazing to me..cdthompson37@yahoo.com
@cdthompson38 that man from england would have been ian levine, he has plenty of posts on here , i wonder if he caught dena on his fantastic strange world of northern soul dvd , very nice words by you too.
@cdthompson38 Somewhere I have bits of the Radio Broadcast , the Guy from the UK did - unfortunately have been away from my PC for a while looking after my own mother (Much better Now , and STILL driving her car at 82 Y.O ). I Will try to find the Recording and Post it (has both sides of the single , inc.B-Side Who Am I..)
Dena , Has So Much Love in the UK - wish I knew what happened to the Album she recorded........!!!!
It's rather comforting to know that all you other former Casino Members still listen to the music, lets face it quality never goes out of fashion .
I know we are all getting old now , but when I hear this music something just switches on in my head and the years just fall away...and I am back on that springing Dance floor with condensation dripping from the roof ! !
@mcpackard ........the dripping stuff in the record bar, nicotine and other dark brown substances ruining my brand new... trend setter... Carlotti t'shirts...... happy days
strange but true,some years ago i was talking with jj barnes at a soul week end in devon.he new the track,he remembered the time in detroit when it was released & he told me dena was his niece.but what i didn't get was where she was & what if anything she had done after this immortal cut....thanks for the posting,stupidly rare pice of detroit
If I never hear another song in my life I will be happy hearing a decent vesion /copy of this song.
This is my ALL TIME Northern Soul FAV - and probably one of my all time favourite songs.......................whatever happened to Dena Barnes..........???
really nice.....
