“The North Wind Blew South” by Philamore Lincoln

Robert Anson (Philip Kinorra) was born in October of 1940 in Nottingham, England. He performed as a drummer in the early 60’s with several of the well-known rhythm and blues artists in the UK. In the late sixties he decided on a solo career as Philamore Lincoln. Famed Beatles manager Brian Epstein signed him to a contract on his NEMS record label, where he released several singles including the now cult classic “Running by The River”.
 
In 1970 he released The North Wind Blew South on Epic records. It was his only full length album and featured “Temma Harbour,” a song that Mary Hopkin would score a hit with later that year.

“The North Wind Blew South” is an underrated track and album that deserves more attention.
