The latest instalment of Kev Roberts podcast and accompanying
compilation "Mountain of Soul Episode 5" is out today (23 Dec '22).
It consists of three or four pretty well known sounds Gladys Knight,
Ohio Players, Razzy and The Winstons along with some semi (DeVons) and
lesser knows.
Track Listing:
01 - Gladys Knight & The Pips [2965] - Stop & Get a Hold Of Myself [Maxx #334]
(A Van McCoy song covered by Carole Waller on USA in 1967)
02 - Tiny Tim Harris [1969] - Don't Say [Bobby Robinson Records #BR-100]
03 - Tommy Duncan [1967] - Let Me Take you Out [Smash #S-2073]
04 - Ohio Players [1976] - Love Slipped Through My Fingers [Trip #TOP-16-23]
(Mistitled as it first appeared on a 1976 album "16 Greatest His" as "Love Slips Thru My Fingers" and the singer is Towanda Barnes. It is, of course, a cover of Sam Williams which is hen's teeth rare on Capitol's Tower offshoot as it was promo only.
05 - The Devons [1969] - Groovin' With My Thing [Mr. G. #G825]
06 - Razzy & the Neighborhood Kids [1974] - I Hate Hate [Aquarian #AQ 601]
07 - Sonny Fisher [1967] - Oh, Love, This Is Sonny [Tou-Sea #130]
08 - Ruby Winters [1999] - I Can't Help But Let You [Pegasus #PEG CD 256]
Unreleased 60s Diamond recording until it appeared on a 1999 UK only CD compilation "The Best Of Ruby Winters". But got a 7" release this tear on Cliff Steele & Tats Taylor's Creative Soul. The song title on this release is mistyped/mistitled and should be "I Can't Help But Love You".
09 - The Profiles [1969] - I Still Love You [Bamboo #BMB 108]
10 - The Winstons - Colour Him Father [Metromedia #MMS-117]
Another typo as this is the UK spelling and should be Color!
11- Artie Fullilove [1966] - Santa Claus Please Listen To Me [Marlu #MA-1001]
A bonus track on podcast only. One of very few Northern Soul Christmas records played (I'm scratching my head trying to think of any others). Artie Fullilove was a member of Johnnny Johson & The Bandwagon. He released another single on Marlu which was an uptown/uptempo (NS) version of "Strangers In The Night" made famous by Frank Sinatra the same year, which isn't as bad as you would imagine!
