[l13rpm2008]

another fantastic track guaranteed to get me up on the floor

[ChrisTheCarp]

Ian - this is a fantastic posting - along with Carl Carlton, Bob Relf etc. Can you tell me if the 'disco' versions are available on vinyl or as downloads anywhere? I have the originals of all of these (NOT for sale!!!) but would love these too.  I'm not even gonna ask where you got the videos! Absolute Class. Thanks.

[IanLevine]

We legitimately filmed all these artists and re-recorded all these songs.

[allwayssoul]

what a corker of a tune, love it!!

[pekaydub]

Check out the extended 12" version anyone got a copy for sale? Pure class

[phillydisco]

So this is what Alfie Davison looks like. I always imagined him as some blue-eyed soul singer, like Gordon Grody or Ray Dahrouge. This is a great song.

[IanLevine]

No, Alfie Davison is most definitely a black man.

[ozsoulsister]

A fab floorfiller, you've done it again Ian, keep the faith, another straight into favourites, and recognition to A.D. too for recording a classic.

[szmig00]

[DonnaDibbs]

I first heard this track when it was featured on a tv drama called "Wedding Belles" in the UK last year.. ever since I've been trying to find information on Alfie Davidson and who he is - finding this and seeing him for the 1st time has made my day and brought a teat to my eye - thank you so much for making this, posting it & Thank you Alfie! x

[doddlesock]

[oldtart]

Martin

[ramcandy]

I always play the SOS 7" single of this whenever I DJ at any function! Always goes down a storm. Great to see Alfie!

[okehsoul]

Brilliant floater !

Hope Alfie benefits from us all seeing this.

[IanLevine]

Although YouTube is free, and I put up all these videos for free, videos which cost a fortune to go to America and film, at least it gives both exposure and recognition to the artists.

I just try to survive and make good music, so that people who think the same way I do can still have great new music to hear.

[Doowopper45]

Dear Ian

I was Alfie's manager when love is serious business came out in 1979. For many years I havent know if he was alive or dead. If you have contact info, i would very much appreciate it.

Martin

[IanLevine]

It was Reid Whitelaw who found him for me, but that was nearly ten years ago when we filmed this.

[Doowopper45]

Dear Ian

Thank you.

Martin

[sgwarun]

[Soulanddisco]
