LOU JOHNSON had a couple of minor hits in USA in 1963 and ’64 with ‘Reach Out For Me’ and ‘Always Something There To Remind Me’. However he is often remembered in the UK for his classic Northern Soul dancer ‘Unsatisfied’ 1965 (Big Top records). Born in Brooklyn, 1941 Johnson studied keyboards and percussion at university and then sang lead with the Zionettes. In 1962 he signed to New York label Big Top that operated out of the Brill Building through Larry Utall’s Hill & Range publishing house. Utall introduced Lou to Burt Bacharach who liked what he heard and saw great possibilities for him as a solo act. 45rpm’s BIG HILL Always Something There To Remind You/Magic Potion(Instrumental) The Last One To Be Loved/Kentucky Bluebird Please Stop The Wedding/Park Avenue BIG TOP If I Never Get To Love You / Thank You Anyway (Mr. DJ) You Better Let Him Go / Wouldn’t That Be Something Reach Out For Me / Magic Potion Unsatisfied/A Time To Love — A Time To Cry Why Am I Crying For/Anytime Walk On By/Little Girl HILL TOP It Ain’t No Use/This Night COTILLION Don’t Play That Song (You Lied)/People In Love Big Top had an album entitled ‘Anytime’ scheduled and pressed some review copies (without a picture sleeve) but the company went under again in ’66 before the record was released. Also unissued is Lou’s version of ‘The Panic Is On’ – a great Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye song.

The Magic Potion For Fat Loss
Article by Johnfox
The Magic Potion For Fat Loss explains the critical role water plays in fat loss and provides several strategies for increasing your water consumption.
If there were ever a magic potion for fat loss – it would be water. Our bodies are comprised of about 70% water. We lose about a liter (34 ounces) of water per day under normal circumstances and when the temperature in our body rises, as during exercise, we lose higher amounts of water through sweat. It only makes sense that we need to continually replenish this supply for water is necessary for nearly every function in our body. Water regulates our temperature, supports and protects our organs, helps with digestion, transports nutrients to our muscles and helps move along waste by products.
Water is, in essence, the key to fat metabolism. Here’s why: one of you liver’s primary functions is to metabolize stored fat to be burned for energy. If you are dehydrated, the kidneys cannot function properly and the liver begins to take over – as a result of working overtime, the liver metabolizes LESS fat so MORE fat remains in your body.
Sometimes we mistake mild states of dehydration for hunger. If we don’t get enough fluids, our bodies give us indications that are similar to hunger pains. When this occurs, we start eating because we misunderstood what are bodies were telling us. Unnecessary calorie consumption can lead to excessive fat!
Water is a natural appetite suppressant. Drinking lots of water throughout the day helps to keep you feeling full. If your stomach feels full – you are less likely to overeat!
A constant supply of water is vital before, during and after a workout. Dehydration leads to a lack of energy, muscle fatigue and cramping. Even small amounts of water loss can hinder exercise performance.
Remember that alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, making you lose even more water, so be sure to compensate for the additional loss.
How to do it: You can replace the water lost during a typical day by drinking a minimum of 6-8 8 oz. glasses of water a day. Begin by drinking your first big glass of water right when you wake up. Drink a full glass of water with each meal. Keep water with you at all times.
To prevent dehydration, make sure you’re drinking adequate amounts of water before, during and after a workout. As a rule of thumb, drink 8-12 ounces of water at least an hour before beginning to exercise, 8 oz during exercise and 8 oz when finished. If you are hungry about an hour after eating, try drinking a glass or two of water- you maybe misreading thirst for hunger. If you are still hungry after 15-20 minutes then proceed with a supportive snack to tide you over until your next meal.
Here’s a ‘success strategy’ to get you started: Make drinking water more fun by adding a slice of lemon or lime. Drink water out of a frosted mug or colorful glass. Grab-n-go flavor packets add variety to water between meals. Keep a bottle of water in the car at all times. At work, pack an allotted number of bottled water and set a goal to finish the pack by the end of the day.
For those who tend to prefer carbonated beverages to plain water try sparkling water. Not only is it crisp and refreshing, it satisfies the need for carbonation. Just make sure you choose a sparkling water that does not contain sugar or fruit juice to avoid additional calories.
So if your goal is fat loss, combine a total body strength training program, supportive nutrition and some interval training with your magic fat loss potion and you’re destined for success!
