POSSIBLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST REVIVAL OLDIES OF ALL TIME"Mr. Big Shot"by Gene 'Duke-of-Earl' Chandler was recorded in Chicago in the golden year of soul music, 1966. It was Chandler's final 45 for Constellation Records completing an incredible run of outstanding releases that have powered the Northern Soul scene ever since including "Nothing Can Stop Me", "Bet You Never Thought", "(Gonna Be) Good Times"and "I Can Take Care Of Myself". But, it's "Mr. Big Shot"that has consistently filled the dance floors and is now possibly the "biggest"oldie of all-time.Dee Clark is best known for his American #2 power-ballad hit "Raindrops"in 1961 for the Vee-Jay label. However, it is his 1964 non-hit "That's My Girl"that caught the attention of the UK DJ's and went on to become one of the key records during the Nineties resurgence of the Northern Soul scene.
