LORRAINE SILVER ORIGINAL NORTHERN SOUL ARTIST


Thanks to legendary Northern Soul DJ RUSS WINSTANLEY the single Lorraine recorded for PYE RECORDS in 1965 at the age of 13 ‘LOST SUMMER LOVE’ became an iconic track at the legendary WIGAN CASINO in the 70’s without her knowledge until the late eighties. Due to high public demand the single was re-released on Casino Classics label in 1978 and sold in excess of 30,000 copies.

In 2004 she recorded a brand new album of Northern Soul anthems ‘The Northern Soul Sessions’ which still sells well on download today under the new title ‘Northern Soul Diva’. This includes the Burt Bacharach/Hal David penned ‘LONG AFTER TONIGHT IS ALL OVER ‘ which was always one of the last three records played at Wigan.
’LOST SUMMER LOVE’ is still a much loved record on the Northern Soul & Scooter scene today and is featured on numerous download & CD compilations. Original Pye Label copies are extremely rare and are sought after by record collectors selling on Ebay for around £850
She is now recording new Northern Soul tracks under the wing of one of the original pioneers of Northern Soul Ian Levine
