Angelo Starr - Non Stop Destination
Angelo Starr excels once again with this song, "Non Stop Destination", which is one of the key songs from our album, "Northern Soul 2007", on Centre City Records and is still available to buy. There are still some small minded people who call themselves fans of Northern Soul who refuse to accept that anybody can make a new record that sounds like the real thing. Well if this isn't Northern Soul, then I'm a country and western singer from Outer Mongolia. This to me is the real McCoy, and I am so proud and excited with it. On September 3rd 2007, we finally released my utterly fabulous exciting album called "Northern Soul 2007", distributed by Expansion Records and Passion Music. This new album consisted of twenty four brand new 2007 songs by soul and disco legends, including Leee John, Gee Morris, The Flirtations, Voices With Soul, Ebony Alleyne, Noel McKoy, and lots of others. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in outside locations. Because a lot of my fans on MySpace and YouTube have been begging me to do this, I decided to get up and make it happen, so there is a giveaway DVD with the CD showing the same twenty-some songs, all being performed in the same running order as the CD. The work that we have all put into this project is quite staggering, and I hope it will break down the barriers between the older Northern Soul stalwarts and a new generation who need younger acts who still produce the same vibe we all witnessed forty years ago for Motown's glory years. Play the CD, watch the DVD, and give new Northern Soul a chance this time. Angelo's first song for us, "Stand On My Own Two Feet", came hot on the heels of the Voices With Soul video getting nearly fifty thousand views so far, because, as proud as I was of all twenty four tracks, and as excited as I was with that whole album, that one single song says it all for me. That one song made me stick two fingers up at all those Soul Police who think they own the phrase "Northern Soul". And now this one makes Angelo stand out once again, with "Non Stop Destination", and also he's she's redoing the James Wells classic, "Baby I'm Still The Same Man" for the "Yesterday And Tomorrow" album, because there are very few singers around who can do justice to that particular jewel in my crown. But even more importantly, when I go into the recording studio with Angelo Starr to make a new record, my greatest possible aspiration could only ever be to try to make a record as good as this. For me it is simple pure perfection. It encapsulates, in one three minute song, everything I have ever wanted to achieve musically my entire life, and I am truly satisfied with it. Of course, Angelo is the brother of the late great Edwin Starr, is managed by Edwin's manager, Lillian Kyle, and is simply the epitome of a classic soul singer. He also leads "The Team", who used to be Edwin's backing group, and are constantly performing up and down the country. Angelo's last track with me, "Stand On My Own Two Feet" made everyone sit up and take notice. And also this fabulous and talented man was just the perfect voice to feature on my utterly fabulous exciting last album, "Disco 2008", with another monster track, "There's A Storm Coming On". So while we're waiting for the video to "Baby I'm Still The Same Man", here's the other track off "Northern Soul 2007", as promised, "Non Stop Destination".
