I felt in love with Jesse's music since the very first time I heard his Northern Soul anthem "Gonna Hang On In There Girl". This album was recorded in the beautiful city of San Diego and shows his marvellous voice on top form.<br />

Soul music is a family affair for Will Hatcher, being cousin of Edwin Starr and Roger Hatcher's brother. This single was issued in the late 70s on his own label (light blue copies are the original).<br />

The actual A side of this single is a very fast dancer and it was played at Wigan by Richard Searling. On the contrary "Gotta Have Love" is a jazzy midpacer that fits my taste. For anoraks, the song came out first on Sheri, with a different flipside.<br />

Tony Moore was based in Italy and had a career during the 70s and the early days of Italo disco. He started singing in the fifties as Nat Wright in Broadway musicals then moved to Germany until about '72. The German version of the song was issued by Rca and is slightly different.<br />

Patrick Gammon (real name Philip Greenway Gammon) is a German singer. The 45 was issued in 1978 also in Italy with a different picture cover (to tell the truth the marijuana leaves chosen as decoration could have fit better for a reggae record!).<br />

The Brief Encounter super rare album on Seventy Seven is one of the best collection of 70s soul committed to vinyl. This is the second single the North Carolina's group had on Capitol Records. "Get A Good Feeling" is a catchy uptempo number while "In A Very Special Way" is suitable for sweeter moments.<br />

The Performers consisted of three brothers, Larry, James and Bobby Scarborough, and were based in San Francisco. Besides this release on Hank Graham's own label, they had also a couple of interesting 45s on Mirwood.<br />
ps "Nightmares" could appeal also to garage rockers and this is not strange considering the other single on the label by a band called The Aldermen.<br />

"Hey Love!" is the best song of Bobby Glenn's debut and only album. It was written by Earth, Wind & Fire members Ralph Johnson (drums, percussion) and Philip Bailey (vocals, conga, percussion) and by Douglas Gibbs, another talented singer and songwriter. The emotional ballad "Sounds Like A Love Song" is the other noteworthy track of the LP. Koala Records was based in Los Angeles and is well known between funk and soul collectors.<br />

Harold Andrews is highly respected between the crossover brigade for his other two singles on Bay Area based Balance Records "I'm So Tired Of Being Lonely" and "It Took You", a super rare 45 played by Soul Sam. He also wrote the 1985 modern soul favourite "Ain't Gonna Be No Fool (For
You)", credited to Hank Gray and performed by the Fabulous Play Mates. "Steppin' Out" is a terrific stepper that shines bright in his discography.<br />

Chuck Corby (real name Charles Anthony Ciorra) is one of many soul artists of Italian origin. He started singing at the age of 8 and had plenty of records through the golden age of our music. This single came out in 1969 for one of Chicago's finest labels. For further investigations check his website here <a href="http://chuckcorby.com/">http://chuckcorby.com/</a><br />

This is the last of three 45s Denise LaSalle did for Chess at the beginning of her career. It was issued in 1968 and sounds à la page and very stylish for the time, being a classy crossover with a subtle layer of funk. Demand is growing for quality records like this.<br />
