Simon Soussan

He produced some new tracks which were released under established names without the actual artist's involvement, such as Lorraine Chandler on his Black Magic record label.

Soussan was involved with the amazing story of how Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You (Deed I Do)" became the most expensive Northern soul 7" ever sold.

[citation needed] He befriended Tom DePierro at Motown Records, who had discovered one of the only two copies of the single in existence.

Soussan borrowed the copy from DePierro and bootlegged it before selling it to Les McCutcheon, future manager of the band Shakatak.

[citation needed] Relocating to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, Soussan spent hours on end in many record shops seeking those with the right sound for Northern soul.

[3] He produced Shalamar, Patti Brooks, Santa Esmeralda, Jessica Williams with Arpeggio and the electro group French Kiss, Romance, Charisma, Nicole Stone, Spice of Life, as well as recording with his namesake Simon Orchestra.
