Just seen this great memory jerking video of The Groove Association's cover of The Dukes (aka (Dominic) Bugatti & (Frank) Musker) - 'Mystery Girl' which was a minor UK hit in 1981 (#47) which I confess I didn't like at the time but compared to a lot of material currently being released, it actually sounds more soulful - how things have changed! Their version would come under what is now termed as 'Yacht Soul'. I think TGA's version is much better than the original. It's taken from 2016 CD 'Soul Family Affair'.
That's not the only reason for posting the video, it's more as a nod to the legendary Caister Soul Weekender which has been running since April 1979, started by UK Soul DJ legends Chris Hill and Robbie Vincent.
George B(romfield) was a member of 80s Brit Funk band Second Image who never quite made the UK Top 40 but did have 6 entries in Top 100 between 1982-85.
