"In the summer, the scene would move en masse to Ostend, Belgium's equivalent to Blackpool. DJ Freddy Cousaert played at the Groove, a late night downstairs bar frequented by US marines, lovers of blues and soul music
and tourists, it was Cousaert who later looked after Marvin Gaye during his 80s sejourn in Ostend. The music he played at the Groove included ska, Latin jazz and even Broadway songs such as Stranger in Paradise, or Whatever Lola Wants from Damn Yankees...."

WILLY DEVILLE VICTORY MIXTURE

ORLEANS RECORDS 1990                                OR1001

Victory Mixture is a 1990 album by Willy DeVille. 
The album consists of cover versions of New Orleans 
R&B and soul classics by DeVille’s musical idols. 
Trouser Press said about the album, “A rootsy covers collection, 
Victory Mixture provides a welcome antidote to Miracle's 
misguided modernity, making the most of the singer's relocation 
to New Orleans with backup from such local legends 
as Allen Toussaint, Eddie Bo and Dr. John."Victory Mixture is 
unusual in that it was recorded without the use of overdubbing 
or sound editing, the idea being to record the songs in the same 
manner as they were recorded originally in the 1950s 
and early 1960s — without soundboard technology.
