The new single on Bob Stanley's Measured Mile label is a terrific double-header from Connie Stevens - 'Tick Tock' b/w 'Keep Growing Strong'. A northern soul monster, arranged by the late Philly soul legend Thom Bell, original copies of Tick Tock regularly fetch £250 or more. It was originally the flip side, as Connie Stevens was handed the very first opportunity to record Thom Bell and Linda Creed's evergreen 'Betcha By Golly Wow', later a hit for both the Stylistics and Prince. The record label decided to retitle it 'Keep Growing Strong', for unknown reasons - Measured Mile have rescued it from obscurity and made it affordable once again. A classy orchestrated floor-filler and a timeless Philly ballad. You can't go wrong
