two hits in the UK on the Top 40. The reissue of 'I'm Your Puppet' No 12 in 1976 & the follow up 'Morning Glory' also in 1976 peaked at No 27.

I beleive this was possibly David Ruffins last gig. It was the final night of this short tour he did with Eddie Kendricks & Dennis Edwards on May 3 1991, they returned to America a day or two later....
just saw this on the BBC web site!
Soul icon Diana Ross is the first artist to be confirmed for the 2020 Glastonbury Festival.
The Motown star, who first found fame in The Supremes, will play...
I joined the 'Official Northern Soul App' on iphones over a couple of years ago & this app has a Motown section which has included a 'This Day In Motown History' for a couple of years or more.

I am pretty sure JJ Barnes is not living in the UK, he has certainly not been performing here if he is!
just announced as the headline to the festival is none other than the legendary Lamont Dozier .... this is from the promoters of the festival;
.... from The Blackpool International Soul Festival...
they were brilliant! saw their show last week & will be seeing them again on Friday ... pure class! Kat was so lovely, the crowd adored her!
Went to see this last week & it is very good! It is not a musical, but a stage play concentrating on the last days of Marvins life. The full second half of the production is set in the house & brings...

I downloaded this app yesterday on to my Samsung mobile phone & I guess works on any android phone & tablet! It delivers all latest Northern Soul, Motown & Mod news to your mobile / cell phone, with...
thanks Mr Soul, will go & have a look, if its still at that price I will order it!
Amazon in the UK have this box set at £70 right now, does anyone know if it is cheaper anywhere else or is this the lowest price?
thanks for that Roger, very interesting about their USA chart successes! They were banned from a number of dancehall in the UK during the early 60's, as they used to come on to the stage & 'stomp'...
certainly here in the UK the Dave Clark Five were a massive band in the 60's & for a while rivals to The Beatles. For me, lead singer Mike Smith had one of the best pop voices of them all.

I seem to recall that the track was originally un-finished & certainly the start of the track was edited & added in by a record producer in the UK. Thats how I heard it, so it could well be wrong,...
in the UK we also remember some classic Northern Soul tracks being used to advertise Felix cat food & KFC!!!
got to say well done to the BBC for making this programme, I thought it was not to bad at all!
