A great video of some classic Northern Soul. The Flirtations performing, Nothing But A Heartache.
Around the time the video for Metal on Metal by Anvil was making the rounds on music T.V. stations (circa 1985), I had recently befriended two brothers of Mexican descent. I can still recall the younger of the two unmercifully mocking Metal on Metal, and the band Anvil, for that matter…
Who knew that Billy Preston was also a song and dance man. Check out his excellent video for Agent Double-O-Soul.
See my review of, Before the Music Dies, which features this song.
