I miss Northernsoul!

I have two little guests staying at my house for a month, they are here for another three more weeks and I am missing my Northern Soul!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't think I'd miss it quite so much until this morning when we packed them off to the dentist and I played "The Flirtations - Stronger than Her Love"

Wow, I am missing our wonderful music and it's just not enough to me to hear it cold without a load of like minded loonies giving it large on a sprung dance floor.

I have played "The Flirtations - Stronger than Her Love" three times now and I shut my eyes and I want to be at....................... Stoke!

Much as I love my Modern and under played Newies, I want to dive head first into the crashing waves of Oldies!

Have there been any tracks that inspire you to get out and about?

Stronger than Her Love has got me looking at my calendar.

What makes you want to get out to dance?

"Get It Baby" - Stanley Mitchell at full blast!

100% unadulterated Northern Soul with the most relentless Detroit Rhythm section of all time, a brilliant Wylie/Hestor production and vocalist who has no other purpose in life other than to whoop, holler and shout "C'mon and Get It Girl" every 10 seconds or so.

That gets my blood circulating!

SORRY SIMON, BUT JUST HAVING COME BACK FROM THE BRID WEEKENDER, WHERE I HAD THE MOST FANTASTIC NORTHERN SOUL EXPERIENCE FOR MANY A YEAR, WHERE WHAT DIDNT GET PLAYED IN EITHER OF THE FIVE ROOMS ISN'T WORTH TALKIN ABOUT THERE'S NOTHING MUCH WHAT SPRINGS TO MIND, WHAT COULD MAKE ME TURN OUT THIS WEEKEND FOR SOME MORE, THO CHANCES ARE, LISTENING TO THE FLIRTATIONS COULD PERSUADE ME TO LURK SOMEWHERE. NEVER BEEN FOND OF STANLEY MITCHELL OR JACKIE DAY THO

I know where you're coming from Simon, my shiftwork totally isolates me for 4 weeks out of every 8 and miss several decent soirees because of it.....my consolation being I have a trawl through the vinyl collection at least once a week and blast a few tunes out.....Today's Detroit day, so if the winds in the right direction you may hear Mike Terry's Sax in all its glory courtesy of Bari Track.....finest instrumental of 'em all IMHO, followed by the Masqueraders, Edward Hamilton, Duke Browner and then some.........It'll help keep me sane until my next jaunt "North"

Good call, one track that's never failed me. Still hits the spot whenever I hear it.

So simple but it has everything.

Just hope that after 2.46 of hollering she actually got it

Got to be "Cause Your Mine by The Vibrations for me.

The intro, the vocals, the passion

Its what I put on when I need to start my heart.

The one and only record i have danced to in the last 3 years and that is George Pepp...................cant fucking keep still when i hear this,as an added bonus i get a swelling in my trousers as well:rolleyes:

Thought I saw you dancin' to The Tomangoes one night until Poke told me you was only trying to squeeze a fart out.

listen to all sorts at home lots of sweet and deep in particular but the one record that gets me right back to it is this one -butchs x volcanos cover up-the intro and piano and vocals just blow me away this along with the Barons of soul will always personify northern soul to me !!

BAZ A

What an ace choice, i have a thing for Gloria Jones at the moment with what i think was her best sound, come go with me, cant stop tapping my feet, i wish it was friday.

THERE YOU GO FOLKS

to me this is mindblowing !!never fails -just hits the spot!!

BAZ A

THE DRUM ROLLS BLOW MY MIND EVERY TIME -- THE VOCALS INCREDIBLE CANT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS COVERED UP AS ORIGINALLY WAS IT THE UNITED 4??

F--KING INCREDIBLE FOLKS LISTEN TO THE HARMONIES AND PIANO!!

Edited June 30, 201014 yr by baz atkinson

Gotta be Something like Al Williams -I am nothing or Gerrie Grainger - I go to pieces gooselumps or what

This tune always takes me back to the Casino. An old buddy, Pongo from Clitheroe used to stomp big time to this.

Tremendous record.

OTHER SIDE AIN'T BAD ASWELL IAN. GET IT BABY THOUGH - LOVED IT . AND IF YOU AIN'T GOT A COPY - YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD.

For me being an ex Stafford regular it has to be...Mr Brady's top sound!

I'm back at TOTW all over again...rushing on the floor and dancing like a man posessed!

Edited June 30, 201014 yr by soulechoes

Just listening to Paul Vann on Chance so difficult to decide which is the best side

Gotta be Don & juan, Heartbreaking Truth for me, or Betty LLoyd

OTHER SIDE AIN'T BAD ASWELL IAN. GET IT BABY THOUGH - LOVED IT . AND IF YOU AIN'T GOT A COPY - YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD.

Course I've got a copy! Found 2 mint white demos in Denver for 25 cents each so many happy memories of both sides!

Ian D

Everytime i hear Eddie Holland - I Like Everything About You. I feel if only i heard this played out, i would dance. one of the best motown tracks i ever heard

And happy memories reading of your account of finding 'em and all the other goodies in there

Juke box shop right?

Ian, you really should write a book about it all.

Melba Moore - Magic Touch

Found out not so long ago that if I was not really up for going out, usually because I work on Sundays,

Pete would sneakily line up a CD in my car for the journey to work with some blood pumping Northern,

Never mind not being up for going out, I would always, and I mean always fall for it

and INSIST we DO go out!!!!!! (and even drive home)

Current car tune ' The Magic Touch' Melba Moore, unissued, played very loud and sung even louder!!! (windows closed of course)

i'm suprised

eddie parker "i'm gone" if you had to explain northern to somebody that track sums it up perefctly IMO.

also frankie beverly "if thats what you wanted" what a great intro.

i'm suprised

goes really well with Ben E King teeny weeny little bit:thumbsup:

Probably between 5 and 10 oldies that if i had to pick would really do it for me.

But to choose one, it would have to be......

TEMPESTS - SOMEDAY

Gimme some lovin' ---- the Deltones does it for me evry time..... Oh yes!!

some good one's mentioned so far but for me it has to Gene Chandler, There was a time.

Those horns, the driving beat and the ending of " They call me the woman handler, you ain't seen nothing yet until you seen me doing the Gene Chandler "

rousing stuff !!

Been hammering the Chesterfields this week, as one of the charming Irish crumpet put it on a birthday CD containing my top 30 classics from the recent poll on here. Thanks Kev, you're a sweetheart Been finding myself taking the long way round in the car just so I can play the CD a bit longer, and can't keep the smile off my face when it's on. Didn't go out at the weekend, and now I'm absolutely clucking to get out somewhere

Was playing it indoors yesterday, singing away, and Justin spun into the living room just in time for us both to do the synchronised "HUH!" after the chorus

Sometimes, only a little bit of Butch will do...

chesterfields - think it over -

Ha Ha, was too long typing and did not see this post

Excellent taste!

Listen you lot there's only one answer to this question and that answer is l Can't Hold On-Lorraine Chandler and if somebody posts it up l will personally buy them a drink and give them a big kiss as well!!

lorraine chandler - i can't hold on -

Can I have just have two drinks instead?

TOTW?

The opening instrumental bars of Bob Brady/Conchords........Everybody going to a love in. As good as it gets for me.

TOTW?

Top of the World Stafford Allnighter , Lorraine Chandler and Eddie Parker appeared there on my 21st birthday!

Just a coincidence I might add, MaMa didn't book them!

eddie parker "i'm gone" if you had to explain northern to somebody that track sums it up perefctly IMO.

Whilst on the subject of my birthday night he's Eddie too!
