For the fair ladies of Fairlight, in particular the 'Rise and Shine' class, who in a massed dancercise display at 'Fairfest' last weekend threw some shapes to various well chosen pieces of music. Videos available on a Facebook page near you !
I referenced this track last September when Northern Soul celebrated 50 years - at the end under 'More dancing...?' Revisit blog here. But I didn't provide a link then, so Frank Wilson is this week's Star Track artist with the anthem 'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)'. *Originally a 45 record in 1965, but forever associated with Northern Soul in 70s Britain. And now Fairlight's 'Fairfest 2024' > 


Video shows the Northern Soul dance moves, so you can do your thing... 

*'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)’ by Frank Wilson
As a producer for Tamla Motown he tried his luck as a recording artist in 1965, recording this single for release on the Tamla Motown / Soul label. 250 demo 45s were pressed and scheduled for release. Frank Wilson then decided to focus on producing and he had the demos trashed. Somehow some survived to become popular in the Northern Soul movement and the single became a rare collectable, ultimately being officially released on the Tamla Motown label in 1979.
