Napoleon Demps feat. Miriah Avila [2023] - Stranger At My Door [Industry Music Group]

The Fuller Bros. are best know to the Northern Soul scene for their classic "Time's A Wasting" on Soul Clock from 1969 (the same backing was used on The Whispers' Soul Clock single "Remember Me" the same year). However, their first recording, "Stranger At My Door", on GD&L in 1966 (also reissued on Soul Clock in 1970) has also long been popular. 

It has been covered by Napoleon Demps feat. Miriah Avila and released by Industry Music Group, so no doubt it will appear on 45 in due course, but what will they put on the flip?

Both artists have featured on the label and here previously. Demps with the superb deep soul cut "Remedy", he debuted in 2020 with "Norma Jean" on Daptone. Miriah Avila with two covers, Sweet Breeze / Mike & Margaret "Slow Change Up" and the Linda Jones classic "Hypnotized".

We have noticed that since posting "Remedy" a music video has been posted for it on YouTube, so have included it below as if you missed it first time around then you're in for a treat.

Napoleon Demps [2022] - The Remedy [Industry Music Group] 7" OUT NOW!

Last week I belatedly posted the new single from Industry Music Group by Napoleon Demps (from Flint, MI) with a song, "The Remedy" and stated that I was surprised that it wasn't on their Bandcamp store nor available on vinyl. Well that has now been rectified as it has been posted there today.

The song was written by him and produced by Joey Quinones. A deep soul gem that sounds like it could well have been recorded in the 60s.

Demps appears to have released only four previous singles, all since 2020. His last single "Ice Cream", also on IMG in Feb. this year, is a Ronnie Shannon written song originally recorded by The Dynamics  as "Ice Cream Song" in 1969 on Cotillion and covered by Cody Black in 1971 on Son' Roc. Shannon wrote several songs recorded by Aretha such as "I Never Loved A Man", "Baby I Love You" and "I Can't See Myself Leaving You".

His debut single "Norma Jean" was on Daptone in 2020 which is an original song he wrote with Daptone co-founder Bosco Mann aka Gabriel Roth.

Napoleon Demps [2022] - The Remedy [Industry Music Group]

Another little gem from Industry Music Group by Napoleon Demps (from Flint, MI) with a song, "The Remedy", written by him and produced by Joey Quinones. A deep soul gem that sounds like it could well have been recorded in the 60s.

Demps appears to have released only four previous singles, all since 2020. His last single "Ice Cream", also on IMG in Feb. this year, is a Ronnie Shannon written song originally recorded by The Dynamics  as "Ice Cream Song" in 1969 on Cotillion and covered by Cody Black in 1971 on Son' Roc.

His debut single "Norma Jean" was on Daptone in 2020 which is an original song he wrote with Daptone co-founder Bosco Mann aka Gabriel Roth.

Oddly, the current single isn't on IMG website nor their Bandcamp page but is available on the main download sites.

I think we have Mark Merry and the Soul Sermon crew to thank for unearthing this one which DJ Kool Keith also played on last Sunday's show which is what alerted me to post it.
