Holly St James (REVEALED)- Thats Not Love - WORLD EXCLUSIVE

Revealed for the first time ever, the identity of Holly St James, at last a face has been to put to this fantastic track enjoyed by Soulies the World over, Holly is alive and well, living in America, she is utterly thrilled that her record is so popular with Soulies, she thanks everybody for making it so popular, Holly is Italian and she is also white, she has a grown up family and is also a grandmother, Holly had several hits back in the 60's but left the music industry to have a family which she does not regret, Holly was very surprised by the success of this record and could not believe it was still being played around the world and danced to in All-Nighters around the globe, Holly thanks everybody and she is quite amused about being "NORTHERN SOUL'S INTERNATIONAL WOMAN OF MYSTERY", but now her identity is revealed but she still prefers to remain "MYSTERIOUS"!!!

Thank You Holly!!!!

Don't really care if people want to label this pop - If the vehicle used for me to first hear this track back in Wigan was Northern - Then hooray!!! The lyrics are thoughtful and earnest - the arrangement is fantastic WHAT A BUID UP!!!!! Really glad that Holly knows how this track has been loved through the years. My only complaint - too short - I wish they had done another verse. Other big tracks at the time - Peggy March "If you loved me" and Bobby Paris "I walked away" (WOW!)

ditto ditto!

didnt you know that Holly Pop James was white ?

[soultime654321]

Yeah, she is an Italian American just like Jimmy Radcliffe, The Northern Soul scene is famous for its love affair with non traditional, white "Pop" songs that are phenomenal dance records and very popular on that big dance floor, this record always fills the dance floor, it is the perfect dance track and perfect for the eclecticism of Northern Soul, even Richard Searling loves it!..Soul? probably not!..Northern? without a doubt! it has earned its place in our long and diverse History.
