Peter Lamarr and Gina Foster - Miracles

We proudly bring you, here on You-Tube, the premiere of a totally brand new song, from our brand new album, "Soul Steppers" - due for release in late February 2009. A delectable new album of "Modern-Room" style Northern Soul. Classic retro soul, owing more homage to Gamble and Huff and the sound of Philadelphia and the mid 1970s rhythms, than to the usual Sixties style. Midtempo and Uptempo soulful sizzlers to warm the embers of your heart, and take your feet totally out of control. Just as the legendary Blackpool Mecca building gets pulled down, the "Soul Steppers" album shows that they can pull down the building but they can never take away our music. And in this recession, in times of darkness and uncertainty, as the opening track gloriously proclaims - "I know there's better times ahead for us". Onward to a brighter day. Music can lift us and make us forget what the world has to throw at us, and this album is designed to do just that. The new album has songs by Rosetta Hightower, Noel McKoy, Odette Adams, Tahira Jumah, Jay Harvey, Pearly Gates, The Flirtations, Janine Johnson, Michael Lloyd Pinq, Kitty Corbin, Judy Duff, The Concentrations, Jimmy James, and a few major surprises. Here, Peter Lamarr and Gina Foster duet on "Miracles", another song bursting with hope for the future, the main theme of this album. Peter comes from Detroit and spent about twenty years performing with The Drifters, settling over in England to live. We have a new seven inch also coming out with him, called "Under Lock And Key", plus his new solo track for this album, "Never Take You For Granted". Gina has been making records for many years and is a skilled and consummately professional backing singer, recently performing with Tom Jones. Her recent Expansion single, "B-Side Of Love" set the Modern-Room dancefloors alight. This particular song, "Miracles", was originally for Benjamin Barnes, back in 2003, and Ben and I co-wrote this fabulous smooth uplifting future soul classic with my long time producing partner Clive Scott. That was before he became world famous starring as Prince Caspian in "The Chronicles Of Narnia", so I decided to make it as a duet with Peter and Gina. And the new album, for the first time, is being distributed by Wienerworld, who have put out all our Northern Soul DVDs, and this time we look certain to get it sold in all the remaining major record shops around the country. And remember the whole theme of this special album - "I know there's better times ahead for us".

I think this album is a must buy for me. I´m glad that people like you are producing such music nowadays. Soul at it´s best.

You have no idea how much that means to me - sometimes it feels like no-one appreciates what we try to do. But now we've had over four million hits for these videos on here.

I know what you mean. More than 15 years ago I started djing overhere in germany playing mostly jazz, funk and soul records. It took us more than 3 years to establish this sound and those partys always have a place in my heart. Sometimes we had 500+ guests at our spot, sweat on the walls and no air for breath. Only good music and a true party feeling. I miss that so much.
