I have now cut six songs so far on this amazing singer, and am about to cut the seventh, for my new album "Yesterday And Tomorrow". "Skating On Thin Ice" is one of the key songs from our album, "Northern Soul 2007", which we released last September on Centre City Records and is still available to buy. There are still some small minded people who call themselves fans of Northern Soul who refuse to accept that anybody can make a new record that sounds like the real thing. Well if this isn't Northern Soul, then I'm a country and western singer from Outer Mongolia. This to me is the real McCoy, and I am so proud and excited with it. On September 3rd 2007, we finally released my utterly fabulous exciting new album called "Northern Soul 2007", distributed by Expansion Records and Passion Music. This new album consisted of twenty four brand new 2007 songs by soul and disco legends, including Leee John, Gee Morris, The Flirtations, Voices With Soul, Ebony Alleyne, Noel McKoy, and lots of others. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in outside locations. Because a lot of my fans on MySpace and YouTube have been begging me to do this, I decided to get up and make it happen, so there is a giveaway DVD with the CD showing the same twenty-some songs, all being performed in the same running order as the CD. The work that we have all put into this project is quite staggering, and I hope it will break down the barriers between the older Northern Soul stalwarts and a new generation who need younger acts who still produce the same vibe we all witnessed forty years ago for Motown's glory years. Play the CD, watch the DVD, and give new Northern Soul a chance this time. Noel McKoy is probably the greatest real true soul singer living in England at the moment. He reminds me of a cross between Bobby Womack and David Ruffin, and his voice gives me goosebumps. We first cut three tracks on him in 2006, "Determined Man", "Read Between The Lines", and "Shadow Of A Dream". Noel really is a singer from the school of soulful story telling and social commentating, who writes from the heart and delivers from the soul. Noel McKoy's raw rasping texture from the pen to the acoustic style of production gives the dynamic sound that will take you on a voyage of human emotion. It is no surprise that Noel Mckoy's artistic development is inspired from the legendary greats such as, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Isley Brothers, Rick James, Miles Davis and The Beatles but it would be closer to home, which would encourage him to sing. It was his mother and auntie who set him off in the right direction of singing and performing at the young age of 12 and then going on to record his first track at the age of 14. By 18 he was mastering the art of song writing and playing guitar but it would be at a later age of 24 that he would be part of a band named 'Mckoy' which, consisted of sister Junett and two brothers Cornell and Robin. The early 90s gave birth to the sound of Acid Jazz and Noel Mckoy was fronting the legendary band James Taylor Quartered (JTQ) and also collaborating with 'Omar' and 'Incognito'. Noel Mckoy is without a doubt one of Britain's most critically acclaimed Soul Singers who's performed and toured the world with several UK & International acts including the likes of Womack & Womack, Roy Ayes, Gladys Knight, George Clinton, James Taylor Quartet, Mica Paris, Sounds Of Blackness, Steve Williamson and Linton 'Kwesi' Johnson. This song is Northern Soul at its scintillating best.
