Mary Gresham [2009] - I'll Never Let You Walk Alone / You've Never Really Lived [Hit And Run #HR 501]


A double-sider of 2 unreleased tracks which were originally issued on Garry J. Cape's Soulscape CD Voice From The Shadows [SSCD 7008] in 2008 and got issued on vinyl on his Hit And Run imprint around 2009.

There's a good article by Mark E. Windle about Garry J. Cape recently posted on Soul Source.  Garry collaborated with the legendary UK soul record dealer John Anderson (Soul Bowl) on Grapevine 2000John Anderson, who sadly died last year (Oct 2019), was instrumental in the Northern Soul scene from the 70s, discovering rare records and supplying them to the top DJs especially Richard Searling.


Mary Ann Gresham was married to Chuck (Charles) Cooper and together as Chuck & Mariann they released 2 45s on Abet in 1968/69

1968 - Let's Walk Down The Street Together / The Woman in Me [Abet 9432]
1969 - Going Through The Changes / Motivation [Abet 9438]


On both 45s the top side was a duet and the B side was Mariann solo.
