Milton Brown - Thief In The Night

"Thief In The Night", a real slab of classic style soul music sung by the amazing Milton Brown. Milton is just fabulous with his Levi Stubbs and Edwin Starr style. He is so willing, so helpful, so co-operative and such a warm hearted person. It makes me proud to have artists of this calibre working with me. Milton Brown and his lovely wife Laverta Lewis, were recording for me in the 1980's. Laverta first recorded with me back in 1986 as the lead singer of the group Dark Secret on the track "Liar Liar Liar". She returned this year with a mid-tempo groover, sounding like a true mid 70's Blackpool Mecca floorfiller with a fine string arrangement. So, I met Milton through Laverta and recorded two singles with him in 1986 and 1987 for the Nightmare label. Over twenty years later we're reunited. In the interim period, Milton had visited his home in Norfolk Virginia, only to find himself denied re-entry to be back with his wife and kids. A problem that took a long time to sort out, but all's well that ends well, and both husband and wife are back singing together. So here is "Thief In The Night", another huge loving tribute to the much missed Clive Scott. The song features on my "Northern Soul 2009" album along with many other stunning floorfillers.
