It's a killer !!!!

A couple of stamina testers from my younger days:

Frankie (Love Man) Crocker - Ton of Dynamite

Roscoe & Freinds - Broadway Sissy

Thought I was fit but these could push you, especially about 7.30 am!!!

I don't get up so early.

And another belter

Seventh Wonder - Captain Of My Ship (W/G)

Brilliant. Loved this at Wigan. Definately a shuffler to keep with the beat.

Someone mentioned Lover earlier, another one where you have to hit the beat just right to keep with it and Keni Lewis (NTMK) is a brilliant dancer as well, but i can see how it could get difficult.

Seventh Wonder makes me think of similar records that you know are long or have slower breaks and you pace yourself throughout, saving yourself for the fast bits, i suppose the Chandlers is one of those.

'C'mon sugar...'

You're such a name dropper!! I'll throw in The Dells, "Wear it on our face".

tyrone davis - she's looking good - atlantic lp -

I was going to add that, but on listening again it's not actually as fast as I like to think it is - if that makes sense .

Edit to remove a rogue smiley

another one that you dont think is fast but is , if that makes sense

detroit soul - all of my life

That's just the sort that confuses me. It sneaks up pretending to be a respectable mid/up-tempto song on the face of it, but then there's a sort of manic drumming hiding in the background!

Not sure gunna find anything faster than that?

One that springs to mind is James Wesley Smith "Talkin about woman" Or is it just the beat that makes dancing to it slightly difficult to keep up with?

the beat is how a dancer keeps time , usually.

thats why flippin jazz with its "freestyle" is so hard to dance to i guess, crazy daddio's

Are we talking The Chandlers-Your Love Makes Me Lonely??

I Got Love Viola Wills dam fast

Holding on - Gary Sole

Is it just me but the tempo starts ok and then sneakily gets faster

Well thank you for clarifying that! Its just JWS feels very awkward to dance to

Well thank you for clarifying that! Its just JWS feels very awkward to dance to

was worried my post came across as a bit arrogant or stating the obvious . lol . but i love wondering what makes a song a dancer , how it ticks .

yes the JWS , all over the flippin shop , mad cha cha beat kinda thingy but not , strange

i think sometimes songs are deceptive , as webby , i think, mentions above .

think my last played on here is deceptive (- war - me and baby brother) . well funked up but quite down tempo and sounds even more slowed down on this refosoul clip ! , as if it needed it lol

think so too marge , how odd it is !

another odd one - ronnie mcneir - now shes gone - . love it but arrrrgh

another just noticed somewhere on here - rubin - youv been away

Edited October 8, 200915 yr by sarahleen

The last 30 seconds of Johnny Thunder 'Groovy Two Shoes' is deceptive and dangerous....one surefire cardiac risk!

For 'awkward/difficult/impossible' I'll go for Chuck Jackson 'I Only Get This Feeling'

Donnie Burkes - Blinding, prozac-happy and compulsive...Brill record!!

"THIRD AVENUE BLUES BAND - It's Got To Be Love Revue" I bought this on Dave Flynn's advice, which was to buy it and play at least -2, gives it a whole new reading...

One I always loved, from a Sebastian CD I think?? Stu Gardner - How Do You Feel / A&M F**** Fast record but very good, throw in Vicki Anderson - No More Heartaches, no more Pain / King, what a Fabulous Driving track this is!!! so if you buy it it also shares the same flip "Never find a Love like Mine" as the Brownettes on king... Not fast but very very F**** good!!

Don't you Just love all these records!!!

YEEHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me Carl Holmes and the Commanders - Soul Dance No. 3 proper dance floor burner

Actually jackie wilson ....higher and higher, as to be up there???

that is defo, i was at a stoke trentham gdn allnighter in the oldies room,and asked russ winstanley to play "afternoon on the rino"AND HE SAID NO ITS TOO FAST.

John E Paul - I Wanna Know is fast enough for sure

"... and now what can i do- i can't go on without you- i want somebody- somebody help me if you can..." cant remember the artist but the "break" was certainly frenetic!!!

The Majestees- "Take Back All These Things" in my humble opinion, is one of the best. and as fast as you like

Keep em coming !

Keep em coming !

Here's 3 1) Jewels-We got togetherness.2) 'Q'- That's the Way. 3) Eugene Church- Dollar Bill (Mental or what!!)

I also love the Donnie Brooks.

3 I'm playing at the moment that are so fast I rev 'em down about 4 and they still sound mental: Lilly Fields Changes, Adam Ross Whatever's Right and Nancy Wilcox's version of He'll Be Leaving You, all will be spun tomorrow. The Little Willie John goes at a fair old lick too!

thank you baby by the soul brothers six, the nomads somethings bad and too much a part of me by patti austin dont make dancin the complete piece of piss it used to be, where,s me "dancing kens spinning shoes" and hi speed talc.

Bobby Brown - why - verve

BOBBY BROWN-WHY-VERVE -

TUNES LIKE THIS ARE HARD TO DANCE TO BECAUSE IT'S RATHER MESSY. A HARD DRIVING BEAT MAKES A TUNE A LOT EASIER TO DANCE TO.

SOUL MESSENGERS-HOW I FEEL--PHILS -

this is damn fast but brill

Eugene Church, as mentioned is very very fast,..youngblood smith and instigations arnt any slouches either.....

You don't mean it - Twanda Barnes Love this and its fast.
