Noel McKoy - Skating On Thin Ice

This song is Northern Soul at its scintillating best, sung by the great Noel McKoy. This is one of the key songs from my album "Northern Soul 2007", which is still available to buy now. The album consists of twenty four brand new 2007 songs by soul and disco legends, including Leee John, Gee Morris, The Flirtations, Voices With Soul and lots of others. Each song has an accompanying videos. So, listen to the songs, watch the video's and give new Northern Soul a chance this time. Noel 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 to name just a few. 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. 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 Junette and two brothers Cornell and Robin. The early 90's gave birth to the sound of Acid Jazz and Noel Mckoy was fronting the legendary band James Taylor Quartered and also collaborating with 'Omar' and 'Incognito'. Noel Mckoy is without a doubt one of Britain's most critically acclaimed Soul Singers, he has toured the world with several UK & International acts including the likes of Womack & Womack, Roy Ayes, Gladys Knight, George Clinton and Linton 'Kwesi' Johnson.
