The One with Lorriane Silver - One Large Duvet

What this episode covers

Lorraine Silver is the voice behind one of the most enduring anthems in UK underground music history—even if she didn’t know it at the time.In 1965, a 13-year-old Lorraine stepped into a DIY singing booth at Woolworths on Oxford Street, recorded an a cappella cover, and walked out with a Pye Records deal. Her debut single, a cover of Shelley Fabares’ "Lost Summer Love," featured an incredible lineup of talent, including iconic bassist Klaus Voormann. But when the charts didn't bite, her music career seemingly came to a quiet end.Unbeknownst to her, a revolution was brewing. In the 1970s, DJ subcultures took over the North of England, and "Lost Summer Love" became a legendary, dancefloor-filling masterpiece at the world-famous Wigan Casino. It wasn't until 1988 that Lorraine finally discovered she was an absolute icon of the Northern Soul movement.From a Woolworths booth to Casino Classics royalty, Lorraine’s story is a testament to the unpredictable magic of great music.
