"I Was Born to Love You" was a big Blackpool Mecca record in the mid seventies, and became quite valuable. When we were filming Robert Knight in Nashville, I managed to track down Herbert at the last minute, and filmed and rerecorded his classic with less than a day's notice. What a true pro and gentleman. I filmed and interviewed over three hundred people and 131 artists performing their Northern Soul classic songs, for the six disc DVD box set extravaganza, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", with twenty four hours of footage, including some rare footage of the Motorcity reunion. The project started in 1997, was released on VHS tape and premiered to 1300 people at the King George's Hall in Blackburn in July 1999, then took four more years to refine and re-edit into its DVD release in 2003. A life's labour of love.
