This was Milton's second song after we reunited. Milton Brown and his lovely wife Laverta Lewis, were recording for me in the 1980's. Laverta first recorded with me back in 1986 as the lead singer of the group Dark Secret on the track "Liar Liar Liar". She returned this year with a mid-tempo groover, sounding like a true mid 70's Blackpool Mecca floorfiller with a fine string arrangement. So, I met Milton through Laverta and recorded two singles with him in 1986 and 1987 for the Nightmare label. Over twenty years later we're reunited. In the interim period, Milton had visited his home in Norfolk Virginia, only to find himself denied re-entry to be back with his wife and kids. A problem that took a long time to sort out, but all's well that ends well, and both husband and wife are back singing together. Milton is just fabulous with his Levi Stubbs and Edwin Starr style. He is so willing, so helpful, so co-operative and such a warm hearted person. It makes me proud to have artists of this calibre working with me. We proudly bring you the video for this fantastic song which features on our album "Soul Steppers", which was released in late February 2009. An album of "Modern-Room" style Northern Soul. Great classic retro soul owing more homage to Gamble and Huff and the sound of Philadelphia and the mid 1970's, than to the usual Sixties style. Just as the legendary Blackpool Mecca building got pulled down, the "Soul Steppers" album shows that they can never take away our music. Onward to a brighter day, music can lift us and make us forget what the world has to throw at us, and this album is designed to do just that. The album features songs by Rosetta Hightower, Noel McKoy, Odette Adams, Tahira Jumah, Jay Harvey, Pearly Gates, The Flirtations, Janine Johnson, Michael Lloyd Pinq and a few major surprises. Remember the whole theme of this special album - "I know there's better times ahead for us".
