Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)

The original version of this song is quite simply the most sought-after Motown and Northern Soul record of all time.The legendary Motown producer, Frank Wilson, made this solo record for Motown which was so rare, and so in demand, that someone paid fifteen thousand English pounds for a copy. He was a big help with the Motorcity project, in 1989 and 1990, and he and his wife Bunny always stay at my house every time they're visiting London. The Motown single "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" became so huge that everyone wanted to see Frank perform it. For years he refused, but finally he gave in and did so at Fleetwood in 2000, in front of two and a half thousand people, the one and only time he said he would ever do this. But previously to that, we had visited him at his Los Angeles home, and filmed him at the piano, so people got to see, on The Strange World Of Northern Soul DVD, this legendary song being performed for the first ever time.

Great post Mr Levine, And a great big thanks to you and Colin Curtis for every saturday night from '73 to ' 76 in the Highland Room. I'm currently driving all my mates down the pub mad by crooning and strumming this marvellous and most evokative of N.Soul numbers on my mandolin. Sacrilege, sorry, but it goes down a treat.
