I think this is the only song of his I've heard of (I'm not a fan!) -but it's actually quite good! Loved the original though...

Big record on the Northern Soul scene, as was this which ties in with the title of this thread, as it's a cover of a 50's doowop record by the Del-Vikings.

I wonder if you know my cousin Glen Gunton (originally form Todmorden)- he's a really big Northern Soul fan and still teaches the dancing....lives further south these days...

Heard the name but don't know him personally. Keep The Faith who is a much bigger Northern fan than me may well know him.

This guy was such a brilliant singer, he could turn a throwaway bubblegum tune into a great soul record!

Re: Favourite Cover Versions!
Have posted several of Italian group Planet Funk's songs recently -this is there latest offering which is airing a lot in Italy at the moment -don't know if it's hit the UK or not. It's not bad -don't know what Nancy Sinatra would think of it...
Would be better with Dan Black but he's not on vocals here -he also sings with a group called The Servant.
