J.J. Barnes - That's Just Never Enough

"That's Just Never Enough" was designed to be a homage of every great Northern Soul record all rolled into one. My friend, Simon White, always thought this was one of the best, out of over eight hundred Motorcity recordings. J.J. started out on several small Detroit labels before being picked up by Scepter He then got his career into full swing, by the mid Sixties, when he and Edwin Starr both started out on the same label, Ric-Tic Records in Detroit. I first met J.J. Barnes in 1971 when my first business venture with my Father, was to put him on at Blackpool Mecca. I had written an article about him when I was fifteen for Collectors Soul Magazine called "J.J. Barnes The Uncrowned King Of Soul" Eighteen years later he signed to Motorcity and recorded about twenty five songs, this being one of the stand out ones.
