Marvin Cotterell - Try Walking In My Shoes

This is the absolute first time premiere of another track which I am exclusively unveiling here on YouTube, from the next forthcoming album, "Northern Soul 2008", which will be released some time in late June 2008. Marvin Cotterell sings "Try Walking In My Shoes". It is true to say that I have tried many times in my life to capture that quintessence of what makes a Northern Soul record actually work on the dancefloor, and with records like Sidney Barnes "Standing On Solid Ground" and Chuck Jackson "All Over The World", I certainly hit a popular chord. But this time I have never been more artistically satisfied. If "Try Walking In My Shoes" doesn't literally SCREAM the words "Northern Soul" out to you, then I'm living in a parallel universe. Everything about this wonderful new song suggests the magic and energy of the era that I fell in love with as a teenager. Forget the purists - this one has it all. If you can keep your feet still while listening to this, then you must be a country and western fan or something. Marvin Cotterell, along with Shenton Dixon and Winston Ward, represents the new generation of Centre City artists. Singers with the quality of a Levi Stubbs, a David Ruffin, or a Luther Vandross. Thanks to the wonderful Tahira Jumah, who has been scouring England for the best soul talent there is, our new album is a vocal masterpiece, a new hope for the future, and a proof positive that great soul music is far far far from dead and buried. Thankyou my wonderful wonderful Tahira. You have done me proud. The best A&R talent scout there ever was. The new album, "Northern Soul 2008" will hopefully be released on June 30th on Centre City Records, distributed once again by Passion Music and Pinnacle, and available to pre-order through the new website, http://www.ianlevine.co.uk This new current upcoming Northern Soul album is a sequel to our album from last year, "Northern Soul 2007" which was the very first release on Centre City Records. I have spent thirty two years honing my craft to the point when I am able to produce authentic records like this. There are some small minded people who call themselves fans of Northern Soul who refuse to accept that anybody can make a new record that sounds like the real thing. But with two million YouTube hits, they seem to be thankfully a very small minority, and my YouTube page is officially the 54th most watched UK Music Channel on YouTube of ALL-TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The new album will consist of twenty four brand new 2008 songs by soul and disco legends. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in outside locations, and the DVD will have four extra bonus tracks too. Because a lot of my fans on MySpace and YouTube kept begging me to do this, I decided to get up and make it happen, so there will be a giveaway DVD with the CD showing the same twenty-four songs, all being performed in the same running order as the CD, plus the extra four bonus tracks. The work that we have all put into this project is quite staggering, and I hope it will break down the barriers between the older Northern Soul stalwarts and a new generation who need younger acts who still produce the same vibe we all witnessed forty years ago for Motown's glory years. Play the CD, watch the DVD, and give new Northern Soul a chance this time. Marvin and I co-wrote this wonderful song, "Try Walking In My Shoes", which sounds like a classic Wigan Casino floorfiller of the type that made the entire club run onto the floor from every nook and cranny.
