The BBC putting northern soul on mainstream TV is great, but Dusty was promoting Tamla nearly 60 years ago on Ready Steady Go! Here she is belting out Marvin’s ‘Can I Get A Witness?’ In August 1964.

@supersouttar They scored the goal that won us the league. They gave us a guard of honour and standing ovation at Stamford Bridge and paid well over the odds for Chilwell Fofana and Drinkwater. It’s not their fault Enzo wants to jump ship. It’s his decision…
