Smokey's Soul Town yesterday

[woodward]

I was listening yesterday afternoon to the broadcast from the Motown Museum and was pleasantly surprised to hear them play Do I Love You by Frank Wilson from 1965 on the air.

First time I have ever heard it on public radio. Has anyone else heard it elsewhere?

Hi Bill

Here in the U.K., the Frank Wilson record has been broadcast quite frequently on public radio for several years now. It also has been used in major ad campaigns on radio & tv. It has received a lot if airplay on the BBC Radio stations nationwide and long championed by DJs such as Tony Blackburn and Johnny Walker, as well as played by somewhat younger DJs such as Lauren Laverne. I would think it fair to say it is relatively well known but the average person couldn't name the artist.
The U.K. has long revered this record and here is its interesting history

I believe it’s been on Soultown, now known as Smokey’s place, before

Is Smokey permanent?
