- NEW YORK'S BEST KEPT SOUL SECRET - Features legendary Northern Soul classics courtesy of Anderson Brothers, Skull Snaps and Connie Laverne- Produced by hit makers George Kerr and Motown veteran Mickey Stevenson - Starring the Whatnauts and Eddie InchHey There Lonely GirlInchHolman.Rare Seventies Big City Street Soul In 1971, film producer David Gil and his business partners Robert S Sinn and Paul Frankenberg launched a film company called GSF. Over the next few years, it would be involved in a small number of productions. But, in 1971 the movie business was kind of old-hat, music was where it was at, and so GSF Records, a well-funded tag, headed by Larry Newton was formed. Today Newton is largely remembered for his attempts to prevent Louis Armstrong from recording 'What A Wonderful World' but that didn't stop him from growing ABC from a second division company to an industry leader. As he approached his 52nd birthday he was unveiled as GSF Records' president a full-service music company, involved in records and publishing across all genres. Through a joint venture with drummer Bernard Purdie the tag targeted the R&B charts and soul & funk dominated GSF's schedule.Black music ruled and this was reinforced by the hiring of Lloyd Price as head of A&R (veteran R&B star), and producers George Kerr (All-Platinum), Mickey Stevenson (Motown) and Jerry 'Swamp Dogg' Williams. No wonder then, unintentional as it was, that GSF left behind such an extraordinary legacy of rare soul treasures. Album Tracks 1. Anderson Brothers - I Can See Him Loving You 2.
