Well, it’s the start of a whole new phase and the audience may well be even more discerning than before. But it’s great just to be back souldie-ring on (ouch!). And I thought it important to keep the momentum going, so I’ve quickly put this latest comp together and trust that the quality hasn’t suffered because of that. It has a bit of a Latin feel, with three tracks in Spanish and several with a Latin beat. At No. 3, we have the Spanish version of Two Tons of Love’s “What Good Am I Without You“. A lovely version follows of “On the Outside Looking In” by the inimitable Miracles. I’ve slipped in a couple of early Jimmy Hughes tracks. You’ll probably recognise a couple of my favorites, The Two Ronnies, Dyson and Walker. It’s hard to believe Ronnie Walker was just 15 when he recorded the spookily sad soul valediction “I’m Saying Goodbye” on the flip of his debut recording for Bell in 1966. As usual, there are a couple of unusual versions of familiar songs and some sweet slow jams. The closer by Rachelle Ferrell is from her 2000 album “Individuality (Can I Be Me?)“ so it’s anything but an oldie ! Suffice it to say, normal service has been resumed………
