the notoriety of djs on the northern soul scene was enhanced by the possession of rare records, but exclusivity was not enough on its own, and the records had to conform to a certain musical style and gain acceptance on the dance floor. northern soul collectors seek rare singles by artists such as holly maxwell, gene chandler, barbara acklin, the casualeers, and jimmy burns. frank wilson's "do i love you (indeed i do)" has been rated the rarest and most valuable northern soul single. in december 2014 collectors were bidding in excess of £11,000 for a copy of the london records version of darrell banks' open the door to your heart, thought to be the only copy in circulation. it had previously been thought that all the original versions had been destroyed when rival label emi won the rights to release the single.

"you're gonna make me love you" was rediscovered in the 1970s; one theory is that it was among a number of singles sold by bbc radio one dj john peel to record dealer graham stapleton, who in turn sold it to "froggy" taylor, then the dj at the influential northern soul nightspot the twisted wheel. an alternative view according to northern soul dj ian levine is that it was bought by fellow northern soul dj rob bellars while working in california and brought back to the uk where it became the epitome of a rare, fast northern soul classic. the song met with wide approval, and it remains a northern soul favorite to this day, quoted as one of the crown jewels of the northern soul club scene. spotswood's whereabouts and real name remained unknown for decades until she finally learned of her latter-day fame on the northern soul circuit and began appearing again to live audiences.
