What's you vote on the fastest 45's to be played on the soul scene, a few suggestions below:

Some great 45's and proud to say that when I was slightly younger would dance my heart out to so many of these, not so much these days.

Who was the drummer on the Kellmac 45's, is it possible to play the drums this fast? If so this would have been great to see! I know the group were made up of Larry Brownlee, Carl Washington and Robert Lewis.

[/quote

Just be reading this topic and "Gloria" by Laura Branigan as been mentioned

Never in the memory of man will that record be classed as a NS tune,Euro disco at its best,If people are classing that as Northern Soul,

Well it's fucked

Laura Brannigan was played back to back with the Redcaps-Never Too Young (Imber Soul Club)

Edited August 22, 201014 yr by wiggyflat

The Chryslers and The Monarchs Band - I Ain't Gonna Lose You is a bonkers mental wig out of a tune. I love it to death but it's just demented, apart from being about 1000mph it's like there's about 2 or 3 different songs rattling away at the same time. I mean The Chryslers AND The Monarchs Band sound like two groups on the one record, no wonder it's a riot! Even the band seem to be bashing out an entirely different backing track. None of it fits properly yet it's still wonderful!

Afternoon Of The Rhino - Mike Post Coalition

It Rained 40 Days & Nights - Garland Green

You'll Never Make The Grade - The Sunlovers

You're Messin' Up My Mind - Herb Fame

Tell Me It's Just A Rumour - The Isley Brothers

Kim Weston - Take Me In Your Arms ( & Rock Me A Little While) or is it me gettin old?

Kelly Garrett - "Love's The Only Answer" - a ballad it is NOT !!!!
