Freddy Butler - That's When I Need You

Legendary Detroit singer, Freddy Butler, singing "That's When I Need You", which was so popular off his late 1960's Kapp album that it got bootlegged as a seven inch in the 1970's on a fairly authentic looking Kapp demo. This is yet another legendary Northern Soul smash, that we filmed for "The Strange World Of Northern Soul". This is a piece of classic 1960s Detroit, which absolutely epitomised the glory days in Blackpool Mecca, and the Highland Room. Freddy was a wonderful male solo singer from Detroit who had releases on Wheelsville and Samo Records, and a classic Pied Piper Productions Detroit album on Kapp, which included this classic song. He sadly passed away not long after we filmed this performance in Detroit in 1998, when we were filming our marathon six disc, twenty four hour massive documentary, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", about the entire history of the Northern Soul scene, which contained 131 specially recorded performances of all the classics, and is still available on a six disc box set from Wienerworld.
