Legendary R&B DJ Hoss Allen's "The!!!Beat" is a godsend to Soul fans as it is one of the few shows of its kind that was (mostly) done live, shot in color, and was preserved (most of that era's Soul TV shows were local lip-synched affairs that are now lost, such as Charleston, SC's "Jump Time" or not publicly available like Columbia SC's Job Man Caravan").

The track was originally issued on Okeh Records (same label as Little Joe Cook's "Peanuts"). Here's a photo of Okeh, a Northern Soul Obsession CD which includes a Jimmy Church track.  This is just on our site for the Church affiliation with Okeh, which is where he recorded "I Wish".  Not sure if it is included in this CD but we're working on finding that out. Stay tuned

Bobby Hebb's classic song - legend has it - as recorded by Procol Harum drummer Bobby Harrison and Powerpack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JAGf-Ui4Pg
Thanks Sid for I'll Be Anything For You/Lost Summer by The Powerpack.
I had a copy of this record around 1970.I 'borrowed' it from my friend Colin Short.His older brother Terry played drums with The Powerpack about this time,but i dont know if he is playing on these tracks.I remember seeing them play at the Bridge House in Canning Town.Incidentally,Colin borrowed the record back some years later and i have have never heard the tracks since.
This is Bobby Harrison, the original drummer for Procol Harum, performing Bobby Hebb's "I'll Be Anything For You". Wonderful stuff. See information on BobbyHebb dot blogspot dot com

My father is the guitarist on this record. He and the bassist wrote the music. PM me for more information. I would also like the file for this.
The Powerpack was a popular club band in the late 1960's- early '70's. The only member who's name I know is that of lead guitarist-vocalist Terry Newman. Sorry that's the best I can do. Peace!
