The Superiors - What Would I Do

This is another performance filmed for my now legendary documentary, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul". The Superiors were a New York group in the 1960s, led by Ken Williams, who also recorded "Come Back" for Okeh. "What Would I do" seems to have been their only real monster on the scene. Ken worked a lot with both J.R. Bailey, and with Van McCoy, two late but great geniuses. I filmed and interviewed over three hundred people and 131 artists performing their Northern Soul classic songs, for a six disc DVD box set extravaganza, called "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
