Venicia Wilson - Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Описание: It is 51 years since I started making records. This particular wonderful song is the quintessential Ian Levine song. It's in the same style as two of the songs which I wrote in my very first year of producing, in 1975. - HE'S SO IRREPLACEABLE and I CAN'T ERASE THE THOUGHTS OF YOU. I am so proud to remain faithful to the music which I pioneered all those 51 years ago. What an honour and a joy to bring you our absolutely brand-new remix by the wonderful Soren Jensen. I get goosebumps listening to it. I first worked with Venicia Wilson when we did a group called All Points Bulletin, with her then boyfriend, Steve Brookstein. We then tried her and Steve together on a version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". That led to me cutting my Northern Soul anthem record, "This Time I'm Loving You", in 2000, which truly became a floorfilling Northern Soul monster, until people realised that it, like the Four Vandals, was not thirty years old. Consequently, no matter how good Venicia's next record was, the purists had already poisoned it. So "Further Down The Road" went unnoticed. One day that little gem will get appreciated for what it is - just as Sidney Barnes "Standing On Solid Ground" was scorned when new but discovered six years later. Venica Wilson was really Kate Jackson, former girlfriend of Steve Brookstein, and in my opinion, one of the greatest girl singers in the UK. She can sing rings around Mariah and Christina, and I have nothing but boundless admiration for her talent and her beauty. One day she will really get discovered, and so, hopefully, will these recordings. And then, for my songbook album, "Yesterday And Tomorrow", we cut the classic Barbara Pennington song, "I Can't Erase The Thoughts Of You", and at the same time, after eight years, I managed to persuade her to film a performance of her first classic utterly wonderful song, which simply gives me chills of nerve tingling amazement. And then the truly fantastic new single with Venicia Wilson was simply mind-blowingly good. I Can't Stop This Feeling was a cover version of a classic Motown recording that was cut on both The Contours and The Four Tops in 1967, however it was never released. Venicia Wilson (real name: Kate Jackson) will be no stranger to Ian Levine fans. She delivered a spine-tingling vocal, making the song totally her own. It is a new jewel in her repertoire, right up there with her classics This Time I'm Loving You and Worth Every Drop Of Rain, and due out for a vinyl release soon. in my opinion Venicia was one of the greatest female singers in the UK. She can sing rings around Mariah and Christina, and I have nothing but boundless admiration for her talent and her beauty. One day she will really get discovered, and hopefully will this record.
