I can find very little info about The Inspirations or Midas records, any
contributions would be helpful. The Inspirations on Midas was led by Billy
Miller who wrote and sang lead on the track. He also recorded as
Billy & Betty (Miller wife/sister?) who later called themselves The
Soulful Twins .
There are numerous groups calling themselves The Inspirations, from Gospel, Doo Wop and Reggae bands and at least two other groups who had a Northern Soul following.
Billy & Betty (aka The Soulful Twins)
There are numerous groups calling themselves The Inspirations, from Gospel, Doo Wop and Reggae bands and at least two other groups who had a Northern Soul following.
Two other recordings which were big sounds on the Northern Soul scene are:
The Inspirations [1967] - No One Else Can Take Your Place [Breakthrough] (Northern Soul).
This issue is a one-sided original and is extremely rare. One sold in 2019 for $9,000.
Charles Diamond & The Inspiration [1977] - No One Else Can Take Your Place [Breakthrough]
A 1977 reworking of their earlier Northern Soul track.
The Inspirations [196?] - Touch Me, Kiss Me, Hold Me [UK Polydor 56730 / US Black Pearl 100] (Northern Soul).
This is a mid sixties girly group sound and almost certainly not the same group as above, but still a big sound in its day.
To who it may concern. My name is William E Miller and I wrote and iam singing "YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND" and also "I'll take a chance on you".You can e-mail me at billygeemiller[at]yahoo.com
