Earlene Bentley - Water Under The Bridge

This track is absolutely brand new, less than two weeks old at the time of posting, and is coming out on my utterly fabulous exciting new album called "Northern Soul 2007", which will be released in September, on Centre City Records, distributed by Expansion Records and Passion Music. The new album, which is now totally finished, consists of twenty four brand new 2007 songs by soul and disco legends, including Leee John, Gee Morris, The Flirtations, Voices With Soul, Ebony Alleyne, Noel McKoy, and lots of others. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in outside locations. Because a lot of my fans on MySpace and YouTube have been 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 three more bonus tracks as well. As long as all the filming gets finished to accompany the 24 songs, it'll be in the shops and online in September. This is by Earlene Bentley, the utterly outrageous New York Diva, and best friend of Miquel Brown. Earlene's first song for Record Shack, "The Boys Come To Town" was featured in the movie "Police Academy". Three more classic twelve inches followed, "I'm Living My Own Life", "Caught In The Act" and "Stargazing" which was a duet with the late great Sylvester. Then "Point Of No Return" saw her in much more mellow soulful form, and very unlike the big Record Shack high energy classics. I was pestered for months, by all the High Energy fans, to put up videos of her big four twelve inch songs from the Record Shack days, but as "Caught In The Act" was the only one ever filmed, and all that footage is lost forever, and Earlene always refused to revisit her old songs, that always seemed impossible. Now thankfully, the grand diva herself had a change of mind, and we put a video of it here on YouTube, and just think - it only took twenty three years for us to bring it to you. This song, "Water Under The Bridge", has to be her best recording ever, we think.

Just when I thought my music collection was as complete as I'd ever get it.  Something new and FANTASTIC appears.

Then just wait till you hear the brand new album, Northern Soul 2007.

I can't type out the entire MySpace address as it won't let me, so lose all the gaps and go to

Also, have you seen the Voices With Soul video on here, that's had 41,000 views ???

Indeed, I know what I'll be listening to for the month of September. I'm new to this site so am checking out lots of your postings today.

I have 184 videos up here on YouTube including some 80s High Energy that was previously utterly unreleased. It's worth going to my maion page and wading through them all. You can view thumbnails of all 184. My best two new videos are going up on Monday night, from the new album. I think you also might adore the Ebony Alleyne stuff, especially if you liked Close To Perfection. Plus you really should contact Soren. He posted up above on this video, as Discoboy1974. That's him.

Just have to add...

I've had this song in my head all day!!! :)

[IanLevine]

Then I do sincerely hope you're going to buy the Northern Soul 2007 album when it ships on the 3rd September, and support it.
