A. Major Lance - Investigate
B. Major Lance - It's The Beat
All time Northern Soul Classic - Two fabulous sides
From The Wheel to The Torch to the 21st Soul Century
MAJOR LANCE must surely be one of the most collectable artists to have graced the Northern Soul scene with a catalogue of quality records dating back to 1958. It is from his incredible run of 18 Okeh R&B hits that we take our back-to-back classics: “Investigate” and “It’s The Beat”, both from the golden year of soul 1966 and both produced by country music mystro Billy Sherrill.It was Sherrill’s Chicago-tinged treatment of “The Beat” that took Lance back into the charts reaching #37 R&B and earning him a slot on Dick Clark’s TV special Where The Action Is.
