Venicia Wilson - I Can't Stop This Feeling

Venicia Wilson is my star, and this authentic remake of the Contours and the Four Tops unreleased Motown rarity is the glorious pinnacle of my life's work. I first worked with Venicia Wilson in 1998, 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 then it got discovered six years later. Venica Wilson was really Kat Jackson, the 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: Kat Jackson) will be no stranger to Ian Levine fans. STANDING ON THE SIDELINES, recorded for Motorcity 2011 was our true homage to 1967 Motown. It was released as a 45 by Neil Rushton on the Hib label and is now quite hard to find. She certainly did deliver a spine-tingling vocal, making the song totally her own. It became 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 issued as a vinyl release in 2013. Genuinely in my opinion, Venicia is one of the greatest female singers in the UK. She can sing rings around her contemporaries, and I have nothing but boundless admiration for her talent and her beauty. One day she will really get discovered, and hopefully so will this record.
