  • Description

    "I GOT A FEELING" was penned by Holland/Dozier/Holland for the Four Tops and first appeared on their 1966 album On Top. Great as that is - what's not to like about the Four Tops - it is Ms. Randolph's 1967 cover, and debut Motown recording, that stole the hearts of the emerging Northern Soul scene at the turn of the Seventies. A non-hit at the time, it has come to represent the sound that underpins and defines a Northern Soul dance record. Almost sixty years on it still fills the floor, compelling young and old to spin, stomp or shuffle to its joyous beat.

    Our flip-side - "My Love Is Your Love (Forever)" - is best known by the Isley Brothers and is perhaps the most treasured of their rare soul recordings (also available from Outta Sight, SEV014). Barbara's unreleased take was completely unknown to the scene until Universal America unleashed it as a digital download in 2015.
    Barbara Randolph only released two singles for Motown on their Soul imprint. Perhaps Berry Gordy couldn't see past her acting career? Whatever the reasoning at the time, a further 15+ songs were recorded and sadly remained in the vault until after Barbara's passing in 2002.
