Question

What where the best 3 sounds recorded and played by white artists up to 73? that cuts out a lot of the pop crap played at Wigan, I know you could fill this with Spencer Davis Group but....

My view

Rufus Lumley I'm Standing

Wayne Fontana Something Keeps Calling Me Back

Charlie Rich Love is After Me

Guest Dave Turner

Dean Parrish - Determination

and was Danny Wagner - "I Lost A True Love" a pre '73 spin ? Think it was

Chris Clark - I Want To Go Back There Again

Always played towards the end of the night at my local soul club and still an all time fave of mine regardless of colour.

Frankie Valli - You're Ready Now

Caused a tremendous buzz when first played at above nights.Prior to that Opus 17 was the popular spin by his group the Four Seasons.

Dusty Springfield - What's It Gonna Be

Heard of Dusty from earlier pop success and have always loved this dancer as well as most of her other stuff.

Paul Anka - I Can't Help Loving You,

Released in 66 I would have thought that may have been played pre 73,Or maybe not ??,

Malc Burton will know.

It surfaced in 1972 .

I would like to say it was first played at The Torch , but I have a feeling in my water , that The Cats may have been the first venue it was aired .

Forgot and nobody else as mentioned him

Billy Harner What About the Music & Sally Sayin Somethin

Remebered - unfortunately

Reperata & the Delrons Panic

Lastly, mega Torch sound April Stevens Wanting You

Hey Spike i didnt understand the comment about Spencsr Davies either.They were white so does that mean theyr'e not a soul band but the question originally was about white sounds pre '73 Erm, i am confused1

Spencer Davis were a rhythm n blues band and that to me = soul

Don't know if they could be Put into that confusing bracket of " northern soul"?

But they were ( I'm almost sure!!) the opening live acts at both brazenose and whitworth street twisted wheel sites

At all allnighters and soul venues in the seventies that I went to gimme some lovin keep on running trampoline ect were. Big floor fillers !

Ok steveie winwood went on to more progressive rock ??? Stuff

but the early stuff is soul to me! Blue eyed soul ????

I discussed the subject of the first play / plays of Paul Anka last night at Paul D's birthday evening .

It appears my water was right , as concensus favours Pep at The Cats .

Another pre - 1973 play , was by these gentlemen ...... The Marketts " Bella Delana "

At what point did their 'Stirrin' Up Some Soul' first see action?

Always reminds me of the Yate nighters.

:yes:

Late '73 or early '74 , hence my not including it with the mention of " B D " .

Stirrin up Some Soul was played at Wigan late 73, remember (god knows how)being one of he first in one night with Gray, anyway as it was empty and it was one of the first records played, the sound virtually pinned us against the wall, and no it wasn't the DS in disguise!

No, with thought, the sound that pinned us against the wall was Sandy Nelson -Sock it to em JB, but the Marketts was next.

When was the Vogues - That's the Tune first aired?

John Schroeder definately yes, though the picture above is on a re issue I believe,

talking of Pye and instrumentals,

who nicked Leon Young Strings - Glad All Over instrumental from the BBC library on PYE demo, which was definately played.(Billy Butler from Liverpool?) or was it Alan Day?

This thread is becomming educational!
