As Gil was living in Silver Spring, MD when he recorded it, it’s technically Mid-Atlantic Soul! As I’m also from greater DC, I’m seriously proud Gil was a local artist, as were the Blackbyrds, Roberta Flack, Chuck Brown, Eva Cassidy, and even the Starlight Vocal Band! Regardless, this song fits perfectly into the Northern Soul genre! Long love GSH and soul music!
This was classed as a "newy" when we were doing the rounds of all dayers and nighters. So the comment about "grandads favourite" does make me feel long in the tooth!!✊🏻KTF!
Just Love when the track opens up seeing a young Lad dancing well and keeping the Faith going,with young kids like him it will never die,good on you Son.
