Riva Starr Feat. Gavin Holligan [2021] - If I Could Only Be Sure (Danny Krivit Edit) [Snatch!]

This one will make the purists wince!  Presumably released on 22 Feb 2021 as a tribute to Nolan Porter who we lost on 4 Feb 2021. 

This is a reworking of one of his Northern Soul favourites (which I must admit I've never really liked and always thought was overrated). Paul Weller also covered it on his Studio 150 Road album in 2004!

I don't even know why I'm posting it as for me it is (and always has been) a pop record! Just out of curiosity I guess! I even had to double take as at first I thought it read Ringo Starr.

Don't even think about the other mix (William Djoko Remix), the song is virtually unrecognisable to the original.

Producer Riva Star is  Stefano Miele who is based in East London. Gavin Holligan is an ex professional footballer who at one time signed to West Ham but was released in 2001 and joined Wycome Wanderers. He is now a singer.

I just found another version released at the end of last year (Dec 2020) which is probably a better mix.
