Willie Hutch - Love Runs Out

Willie Hutch was a Northern Soul legend who went on to be a major prolific Motown recording artist and songwriter. He had never appeared in England until finally, in 2003, he performed at the Togetherness weekender in Fleetwood, and Ralph Tee and myself did a deal to film his concert and tell his life story. Whilst he was here, and not wanting to miss such a wonderful opportunity, we did a new recording of his legendary Northern Soul classic "LOve Runs Out', which, to my mind, was the most authentic re-recording we've ever done. Then we spent ages up in Morecambe filming a video for it. Tragically he died shortly after, so this is probably his last ever performance, and we're so lucky it's captured on video for posterity.

It really makes me sad that I never got a chance to meet this dear brother. ... and THANK him from the bottom of my heart for all his wonderfulwonderful wonderful wonderfulmusic.

[IanLevine]

I have always tried to get these legends to leave some visual record for posterity of their wonderful work. The passing of the years has taught us that they are sadly not going to be around forever.

Do you have anything by BENNY LATIMORE? "Let's Straight'm Out" -- "You can't see the forrest, if you are looking at the trees......" Please, say YES, and post it.

[IanLevine]

Sorry. Please understand that all these videos are ones we shot and actually own. I post nothing up on YouTube unless I own all copyright in it, and I have never worked with Lattimore.

[lendibell]

sho you right. People like Willie Hutch, O. V. Wright, King Floyd, Eddie Floyd, Tyrone Davis, Little Milton, Z.Z. Hill, they are hardly recognized. I thinks its a crying shame. I love these dudes and I listen to their music til this day.
