The Concentrations - Anticipation

The Concentrations sing "Anticipation". The group is a four-piece classic male soul harmony group, including lead singers Paul Bernard and Anthony Jawahall. They initially formed especially for the album "Northern Soul 2008", as a tribute to legendary soul groups like The Four Tops, The Contours and The Temptations. Their first song for us, "Man On The Spot" bounced along with so much power, from the energetic falsetto vocals, to the bass vocal that had everybody racing to the dance floor immediately. Paul has the Dennis Edwards type gruff voice and Anthony has the Eddie Kendricks type falsetto. A classic dance sound, flowing straight from its 60's heritage. Try staying still to this, if you can! This is the second song, a much mellower Philly affair, "Anticipation". Tahira Jumah found Anthony and Paul for me. This wonderful group is the epitome of the type of artist I have searched to produce for my entire year career. Paul, Anthony, and I co-wrote this wonderful song, "Anticipation", which sounds like a classic mid seventies Blackpool Mecca floorfiller of the type that made the entire club run onto the floor from every nook and cranny. And the "Soul Steppers" album, for the first time, is being distributed by Wienerworld, who have put out all our Northern Soul DVDs, and this time we look certain to get it sold in all the remaining major record shops around the country. And remember the whole theme of this special album - "I know there's better times ahead for us".
