Herbert Hunter - I Was Born To Love You

Released back in October 2008, a tremendously exciting project for Northern Soul fans everywhere. We've done a deal with Wienerworld, a major music DVD company, and the same company who originally released our classic documentary "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", and we have now released the definitive DVD box set. A five disc set of 200 performances called "Northern Soul's Greatest 200 Floorfillers". This uses some songs from "The Strange World Of Northern Soul" which are completely re-edited, so they look fresh and sparkling new. All the previous video effects done in the 1990s are gone forever, consigned to history. Plus loads and loads of never before seen videos, many of which have sat in the can untouched for many many years. Plus some newly recorded tributes to the classics. If you ever went to Blackpool Mecca or Wigan Casino, this is the must-have purchase of the year. In putting together this box set, we have nearly all the biggest all time blockbusters, "Out On The Floor", "Night Owl', "I'm On My Way", "Time Will Pass You By", "Blowing My Mind To Pieces", "Do I Love You", all sung by the original singers. We believe this will go down in history as the greatest Northern Soul DVD collection of all time. Here, Nashville legend, Herbert Hunter, sings his Northern Soul monster classic, "I Was Born To Love You", on SPAR Records. This is another performance filmed for my now somewhat notorious documentary, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul".
This was a big Blackpool Mecca record in the mid seventies, and became quite valuable. When we were filming Robert Knight in Nashville, I managed to track down Herbert at the last minute, and filmed him and rerecorded his classic with less than a day's notice. What a true pro and gentleman. I filmed and interviewed over three hundred people and 131 artists performing their Northern Soul classic songs, for the six disc DVD box set extravaganza, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", with twenty four hours of footage, including some rare footage of the Motorcity reunion. The project started in 1997, was released on VHS tape and premiered to 1300 people at the King George's Hall in Blackburn in July 1999, then took four more years to refine and re-edit into its DVD release in 2003. A life's labour of love. So, in 1998, after much searching, and the most massive amount of detective work imaginable, we tracked Bob down to make this one and only one-time performance especially for us, for our ground breaking Encyclopedia Britannica of Northern Soul, and I am so glad that we did.
