Fantastic job AGAIN, Ian, you are indeed an expert in your field! This is the 'sound' I ran to for refuge from hard rock 30 years ago. Had to look up 'Northern Soul' a year ago, a term not used in USA. That's when I found out Brits were escaping to this sound just like me! Funny how one shopkeeper can coin a phrase that will last for generations.
Added this to 2007 in my 111 playlists for every year since 1900. Hope people will stumble on your gems at my channel & buy the music from you!
@chkjns - PLEASE I beg of you, go look through my songs on my channel, all of which I legally own. I want you to discover what I have been trying to achieve, with a tightly knit bunch of fans who love it all. Watch Lyn Jerrard, Esjae Gennice, Tahira Jumah, Nat Augustin, Wayne Hernandez, Delroy G. Pinnock, Odette Adams, Kitty Corbin, Donna Williams, and Davinah Edwrads, and hopefully I will have won you over.
@IanLevine - Ian, you silly man, you won me over with the first song I heard ! ! ! You are obviously the modern Midas of Northern Soul. I was already sucked into your channel & posting my next comment when your message came through, and now you've turned my whole playlisting system on its ear with your fantastic new vintage-sounding music.
I have rarely seen a promoter shilling a product as worthy as yours, Ian, you need to be on one of our US cable shop-at-home shows, you'll sell out ! ! !
The Album Is SOOOO Fabulous And Ebony Is One Of The Best Singers I've Heard In Years!!! I Can Never Thank You Enough Ian, You Are The BEST!!! Love To You & Ebony-David
Can you please ask Ebony if she used to/still works for world development movement (a campigning group on poverty/trade issues)? I used to volunteer there and used to see her be a PA to the director Benedict. Had no idea she was a singer. All the best to her
Eight months ago, Ian asked: If nearly ten thousand people have watched and enjoyed this, why have only two thousand people bought her album so far ????
Now we're up to more than 45,000 views and one of Ian Levine's Top 10 most viewed videos, and I'm afraid the sales of Ebony's wonderful album haven't risen meteorically since then. Please support this album (it's available from Ian's website), personally I'm desperate to get Ebony, Ian and Clive back in the studio for a second album!
As you know from working with me, it is my one man mission to still give the world great music, free of rigged talent contests and record company agendas. Sometimes it feels like a losing battle, but I keep trying anyway.
yeah..like this track. very BRITISH which i love not an America copy cat vox. So what she up to hope that she'll be pursuing her music career. God's blessings to ya!
If nearly ten thousand people have watched and enjoyed this, why have only two thousand people bought her album so far ???? If you love her stuff, PLEASE GO OUT RIGHT NOW AND BUY THE ALBUM, or at least order it from Amazon or Play
Hi, I'm Søren from Denmark. I hope that people who like this music will join up to receive "Reaching For The Best - The IAN LEVINE Newsletter". I'm doing a regular e-mail newsletter for people who are fans of Ian Levine's music, just like myself. If you too are a genuine fan of his productions, and you love seeing these videos, then send me a message with your e-mail address and I'll add you to the list. It's all free, it's with Ian's full co-operation, so please join in!
... "Walk Away and Never Look Back" plus this track "You Caught Me Off Guard" are "class" acts. Surprised that the Jazz Stations are not picking these up too. Ebony does a great job and deserves success.
I'm sure "Walk Away And Never Look Back" could still go mega if only more people could get to hear it - it really has the makings of a timeless classic.
I've loved Ebony Alleyne since the first time I heard "Walk Away And Never Look Back" and I've been fortunate enough to hear all her tracks for some years now. I've been so sorry for Ian Levine and Ebony that it didn't come out ... the more thrilled I am that Expansion is finally, FINALLY, getting this excellent album released. This new track is equally superb - Ebony should be a huge star!
Has that nice old school melodic feel that's cool which is lacking in today's R&B and music in general, of course there are a few rare exceptions. Nice
Real good music, so different from the current hogwash being passed as RnB/soul....keep doin what you do sista!!

I love the soft harmonizing in places like 1:40,1:41 and 2:04:205, 2:35, 2:36. She has a nice warm sound that bends well with brass and strings.

@IanLevine well thanks to the internet, it's not a loosing battle, though, is it? not anymore...
cant really compete on the money level - they will always have more marketing dollars to ingrain shit into peoples minds instead of quality.
