Description

The nucleus for The Younghearts birth in 1967 made from Bobby Solomon, Charles Ingersoll, Earl Melvin Carter, James Moore, Ronald Preyer etc.

This double beauty was born before the July 1967 "Countdown (Here I come)" NS anthem. Bobby Sanders and team released this superior Northern Soul double hitter, giving up two distilled mid-sixties mid-tempo. That were sadly too "laidback" to arouse the passions of the amphetamine fueled nights at the "The Torch" Catacombs" faithful of the early 70s.

These two sides were far too classy in the 1972 pinnacle of Northern Soul's rise in powers; steeped in soul, two strollers that are ironically perfect for today's Northern Soul scene which ever side you drop the arm on. Two perfectly crafted songs by a quartet of truly talented soul creatives just starting to find some success from their tireless efforts for hits. Bobby Sanders, Gene & brother Billy Page and Bobby Mac collaborate on this impressive non-hit.

Billy Page had already penned the huge hit "The "In" Crowd", Gene was just embarking on what was going to become a glittering successful career as one of the west coast's most decorated record producers. Meanwhile Bobby Sanders toiled tirelessly trying to make hits for local soul acts, making a few NS gems with Bobby Mac.

One that will stir interest for discerning Northern Soul scholars who look past the obvious, seeking out sleepers, with sadly neglected but riveting qualities, obscured the group's previous NS glory days.

We adore both sides, a snoozing jewel, when stirred will prove to be difficult to capture - you will not find a finer copy than this February 1966 promo.

Listen and prepare to be mightily impressed.
