After my first hit with "Reaching For The Best", I wanted to find my own new artists, so in July 1975 I went to Chicago and stayed with Danny Leake and discovered three - Evelyn Thomas, Barabara Pennington, and L.J. Johnson. Recording brand new songs with a Northern Soul flavour, my first two attempts both entered the top 30 simultaneously, and Evelyn Thomas, with "Weak Spot", and L.J. Johnson, with this song, "Your Magic Put A Spell On Me", both appeared on Top Of The Pos in the same week, in February 1976. Imagine a twenty two year old DJ, a newcomer to record production, who tried to make some new records and had two artists on Top Of The Pops in the same week. It still amazes me.
