****************************************************
This Group started out as a trio in January 1966 (Marvin Beard, Elbert Jones and Jimmy Locke). By the time they got their second contract in April, Elbert had left the group, but then they gained new members (Alvin Sykes, Walter Pride and James C. Brown) They formed as a group in the US Marine Corps and took their name from the Corps's Latin Motto "Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful)
*************************************************
Top-drawer old-school classic that fuels dance-floor-congestion the same today, as it way it did back in 1971. An enduring Northern Soul evergreen with qualities that will perhaps live on forever.
A Bob & Earl collaboration crafting 1966 Los Angeles Northern Soul proving once and for all, the making of this music is now a lost-art! The lead side has now been cherished by over 4 decades of Northern Soul followers. It has everything a truly great Northern Soul requires to become timeless, unforgettably considered “Classic”
But do stop for a moment to hear the more recently exposed flipside, that is now receiving strong DJ attention, as that haunting, moody approach of Bob Relf exhales exactly what turns the 5th. decade dancers on…slower but just as consuming.
Check out that steadily building production delicately embroidered with both male and female soaring choruses, as the beseeching lead (Jackie Lee?) falls to his knees in despair and hopelessness.. absolutely stand-out Northern Soul for today and longer…
But it you’re in the middle of an oldies set, NOTHING explodes to house more than the rattling piano intro, the Ooh, Ooh howling, collides headlong into a wall of strings, squealing ladies and then that pianist goes solo once again ….. just too much
THIS IS NORTHERN SOUL! No matter which side you drop on…
