Posted June 25, 200915 yr Can't accept any lists,or any dicussion or any soul politics,just give us all what one record is representative of Northern soul.The perfect representative for me would be Lorraine Chandler-l Can't Hold On Edited June 26, 200915 yr by webbydublin
June 27, 200915 yr Eric Mercury............Lonely Girl Doni Burdick............Bari Track Marvellos...............Somethings Burning 3 different types,3 stormers, proper northern.
June 28, 200915 yr What about Lillie Bryant? Stormer from the first bar!! Chalky ,Joan- should come to Berlin Butch plays Diane Lewis every anniversary for me! Steve he played it last night Steve after I'd told him there was a request for it
June 28, 200915 yr Can't pick one - Van Dykes-save my love for a rainy day Ringleaders-baby what has happened to our love Billy Hambric-she said goodbye Epitome of Sound-you don't love me
July 4, 200915 yr Did post Major Lance but changed my mind. Best Northern Soul sounding northern soul track for me --- Tomangoes Probably Dean Courtney - I'll Allways Need You, but the Tomangoe's would be in the next few choices
July 5, 200915 yr To me, Paul Anka "Can't Help Loving You" sums up Northern Soul perfectly . Where else in the world would teenage kids dance to a record in the early hours of the morning sung by somebody called Johnny Caswell but it is in fact by a 50s & 60s pop singer called Paul Anka, who incidentally wrote the lyrics to "My Way", & then call it Northern Soul !!!!!! ? Says it all to me. Bloody good record BTW.

July 5, 200915 yr paul anka is rubbish...............and people danced all night to shit in the main, cause they were out their heads.........lets have a reality check here Can't agree with that at all. Don't ever remember going to any all nighter or venue in 74 (when I think PA was first played) that played s..t all night?
July 5, 200915 yr paul anka is rubbish...............and people danced all night to shit in the main, cause they were out their heads.........lets have a reality check here I danced to it....... and I wasn't off my head on chemicals !! If northern soul is all about dancing then the Little Anthony's and the Paul Anka's have got to be up there to me one tune that makes me smile, makes me want to shuffle, (Knees won't take it any more) and envy any one who has a copy is.............. CALL ME TOMORROW MAJOR HARRIS
July 5, 200915 yr Can't agree with that at all. Don't ever remember going to any all nighter or venue in 74 (when I think PA was first played) that played s..t all night? In fairness 1974 there was a lot of shit played out, but the good stuff far outdid the shit stuff Some of the best records ever where 1st played in 74
July 5, 200915 yr paul anka is rubbish...............and people danced all night to shit in the main, cause they were out their heads.........lets have a reality check here Paul Anka sums up for me the weird & wonderful world of the Northern soul scene. I also don't think it is rubbish - lots & lots of worse records played than Paul Anka IMO.
July 5, 200915 yr It's taken me ages to decide on this one, but to me, the most 'northern' sounding northern track, which I might play to an outsider who asked what northern sounded like, has got to be The Professionals 'That's Why I Love You'. What a cracking uplifting first line that launches you straight in - "Pick me up!..."
July 8, 200915 yr paul anka is rubbish...............and people danced all night to shit in the main, cause they were out their heads.........lets have a reality check here BOLLOCKS!!!!!!
