The Dynamics - Yes I Love You Baby

This is the legendary Detroit group called The Dynamics, led by Ernest Fudge, who recorded so many Northern Soul hits. Unfortunately there seem to have been nine different groups called The Dynamics, which makes it virtually impossible to put together a proper biog. But these are the exact guys who recorded this wonderful Northern Soul smash, "Yes I Love You Baby", written and produced by Detroit legend, Richard "Popcorn" Wylie, and first released on his own label, Top Ten Records, before being licensed out to Laurie Records for national distribution. This legendary floorfiller was yet another legendary Northern Soul smash that we filmed for "The Strange World Of Northern Soul". This is a piece of classic 1960s Detroit which epitomised the early days of Blackpool Mecca, and the Highland Room. It still sounds great but has been much forgotten and neglected over the years. It was a piece of Motownesque joyful exuberance on the Laurie label, from 1967, that golden year, and as fine a piece of Northern Soul as you could ever wish to hear. The very quintessence of the mid Sixties. We recut it in 1999, with Pat Lewis's help in finding the original members, when we were filming our marathon six disc, twenty four hour massive documentary about the entire history of the Northern Soul scene, which contained 131 specially recorded performances of all the classics, and is still available on a six disc box set. So, we really got all The Dynamics together, and they were more than happy to make this one and only one-time performance especially for us, for our ground breaking Encyclopedia Britannica of Northern Soul, and I am so glad that we did.
