Yet another monster classic piece of Northern Soul that we filmed for our documentary "The Strange World Of Northern Soul". Alfie was the protege of classic record producer Reid Whitelaw, and first had a classic early 1970s disco song on RCA called "Who Is Gonna Love Me", which we used to play at Blackpool Mecca. In the mid 1970s. Alfie then released a wonderful piece of retro magic, which, although recorded in the 1970s, was more like the Sixties in style, called "Love Is A Serious Business" on Mercury Records, which is astonishingly rare and hard to find, especially considering that it is on a major label. I have known Reid Whitelaw for many many years, and asked him to find Alfie for me, which he did, and we filmed this in a cold February on the streets of Brooklyn. Alfie had never actually performed this song before, and this is the only time you can ever see him do this classic.
