The legendary Motown producer, Frank Wilson, made a solo record for Motown which was so rare, and so in demand, that someone paid fifteen thousand English pounds for a copy. He was a big help with the Motorcity project, in 1989 and 1990, and he and his wife Bunny always stay at my house every time they're visiting London. The Motown single "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" became so huge that everyone wanted to see Frank perform it. For years he refused, but finally he gave in and did so at Fleetwood in 2000, in front of two and a half thousand people, the one and only time he said he would ever do this. While here, he also agreed to record a couple of Northern Soul classics. Firstly, he did an oh so soulful version of the Skip Mahoney song, "Janice, Don't Be So Blind To Love", which can be seen on both MySpace and YouTube, and he also cut this for us, a version of his unreleased Motown song "My Sugar Baby" from 1965, which eventually was released on the Cellar Full Of Motown CD, and which Frank also cut on Connie Clark in the mid 1960s, on Joker Records.

  • Loving this Ian, hadn't heard it before.

    Also - great show on BBC6 at the weekend - had us dancing around the house for the whole 2 hours :)

  • You're very kind and I really do appreciate you listening.

  • Ooh - just discovered the show is on the BBC 6 Podcast.

    I can listen to it all again - how brilliant :)

  • It's available for just five more days

  • Great song, but is he miming on this vid?

  • The song is the Motorcity studio recording and the vid is made from a live performance in Fleetwood, where the sound was unacceptable. The video has combined the two.
