Tahira Jumah - Waterfalls

Tahira is my special protege and has recorded nine songs for us so far, and this latest, "Waterfalls" is one of the finest Northern Soul songs I have ever been proud to create - that's coming later this summer for "Northern Soul 2009", as well as also being on he upcoming "Running In Another Direction" three disc set, to be released on June 8th 2009. The fabulous three disc set, "Running In Another Direction", covering Northern Soul and Modern Room classics from 1975 to 2009. 34 years of amazing soul classics. On Centre City Records. Catalogue Number CENCCD 006. The official follow up album to "Reaching For The Very Best". You can order direct from www.northernsouldirect.co.uk Or from Amazon at www.amazon.co.uk A total of 72 amazing floorfillers - ALL FOR LESS THAN FIFTEEN POUNDS. That's twenty pence per song. Just as the legendary Blackpool Mecca building gets pulled down, this triple box set shows that they can pull down the building but they can never take away our music. This album is truly Ian Levine's Greatest Soul Hits, from 1975 right up to date in 2009. And many classics have been either beefed up or totally remixed. Since meeting this wonderful and loyal lady, she became my number one protege, Tahira Jumah, the fabulous diva who is my Evelyn Thomas for the new millenium. When I first met her, when she came to the studio with Fay Jones, they were both friends of Angelo Starr, and he brought them along to meet me. I decided to pair them up to make a song which I wrote with Angelo, "It's An Ill Wind". They had never met each other before that day. But as I got to know Tahira, I realised she had all the attributes of a real Ian Levine long term star, which is why she then sang my very first song ever, "Reaching For The Best", for my classics revisited album, "Yesterday And Tomorrow". We then did "I'm In Wonderland" with as a duet with Fay Jones, followed by "World Of Your Own", "Mister Right", "What", and the duet with Jay Harvey. And Tahira is FABULOUS. I just want the privilege of introducing her to the world. She and I co-wrote this fabulous smooth uplifting future soul classic with my long time producing partner Clive Scott, who recently suffered a terrible accident and is still in criticial condition.

Ian, I don't know how you do it but you just keep 'em coming, hit after outstanding hit. You are truly gifted. Props to Tahira and the same plus prayers for Clive.

Any thought of bringing a Motor City/Centre City tour to Motown? Like the Kelly and Company thing you did in Detroit years ago with G.C. only Northern Soulish and massively larger, like a tour of the whole U.S. starting in Motown??

Let's do it!

I love you. I am so grateful for what you said here. I need more caring fans like you and David Preiser and Simon Lloyd. Please please keep supporting us, or I won't be able to do this, and please please pre-order "Running In Another Direction" as a special special favour to me.
