[leigy]

Wow! This Stereo mix is amazing. Best I have ever heard for this song. What CD did this come from? I have a stereo version of this song too, but it is nowhere nearly as wonderful as this one! Can you please tell me where you got this mix?

[wildbilltexas]

Where can I find the stereo mix of this? I've only found it in mono or (lousy) fake stereo..

[Patrickibens]

the most underrated Motown girl group ever!!!!

[MotownConnoisseur30]

Some of the best strings ever on a Motown record!

love this track one of my favourites, long live northern soul, thanks for posting

[MotownMagic1959]

Thanks Di, I never thought of Motown as Northern Soul but it's probably because I live in Brighton, East Sussex, and I'm so old now! ;-) glad that Northern Soul clubs have kept i all going for so many years of course.

OK maybe this is a dumb question and as an American obviously a lot of our music qualifies...so what exactly IS "Northern Soul"

[MotownMagic1959]

I can answer this sonwamac, it refers to the North of England (I live in the south, in Brighton) for very many years now people from there had been collecting Soul(R&B) rarities including Motown, I'm not surprised you wouldn't know what "Northern Soul" was, but some of the 45rpm singles are now worth quite an amount of money! I've been a fan of Motown since they started in 1959!! so it's been a lifetime, and I still like every sound :-) Hope this makes it clearer for you now. JOHN

[sonwamac]

Thanks MotownMagic1959...it was through "Northern Soul" on line here that I (finally) found the Carolyn Crawford records that I Loved so much as a kid...could never find them before...so now we've got a great soul singer who's moved over here now (Atlanta GA) but is a native of Birmingham England. Her name is Julie Dexter (heard of her?)and she's marvelous...does she qualify as "Northern Soul"? or is she too new and too young?
