Liljimmycrank Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 As a lot of this stuff seems to have just exploded in the popularity stakes in last few years, you might struggle to get a really good compilation cd. Although suggestions so far are good. My advice would be try and track down set lists from guys like karl heard et al and make your own up for use around the house. Amazing tuneage Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Amazing tuneage you'll be bloody lucky to get a set list off karl, and to be fair i dont blame him, he is churning up some seriously up front dancers at the moment and there is no comparison in the country imho Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Andy Kempster Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 prime example for starters has to be rudy love - suffering wrath on canyon. dont know how to put up youtube links but its sure on there Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Richard Bayley Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Can you give us a couple of examples,mate that l can listen to on youtube....or anywhere else for that matter...Cheers! OK then Webby, I'll stick my neck out with these three :- Rudy Love - Sufferin' Wrath Billy Byrd - Lost in a Crowd Ricky Allen - Cut You Loose (the version on Tampoo) Last two are definitely on Refosoul, and that nice Mr Croasdell has put Rudy Love on Kent's recent "Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities Vol 4", along with a more mid-tempo funky tune Salt & Pepper's "Man of My Word" All top tunes, IMHO!

Guest Dante Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Would love to hear what's been played around now as I'm getting more and more into these funky sounds. Would the Stratolines on Federal qualify as funky northern? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Dante Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Dont know if any of these are representative of todays 'funky' northern, but they're certainly working for me !!! Inell Young - Next ball game Ralph Young - cool off the floor Jack Jacobs - I believe it's alright Rudy Love and Company - Suffering Wrath Mixed Sugar - It's a bad feeling Joyce Hopson - I surrender Bobby King - Don't give up hope Jimmy raye - That'll get it Bobby Dixon - Woman you made me Christine Adams - Lonliness is always around Little denise stephenson - would it be me Don't know why this isn't a monster. Such a marvelous record! I read HeWhoShallNotBeNamed listed as a personal fave, but did he ever (or someone else) spun it on a regular basis? The flip is great, too.

Anais nin Carms Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I have been trying to sort of compile a funky soulful playlist in my itunes because I quite like the funk variation in tempo withing soul and I have come up with these on my travels through the genre so far : I am still waiting for Mr Sadots CD .... hint hint I loved the tunes Ih eard played out by George in Manchester, couldn't tell you what they were sorry Deloras Ealey - I've been looking This is a superb example of in your face soulful funk first heard by me listening to a guy connected with Jazzman records whome I have forgotten the name of now . Ian Wright I think ? It was on a show with Keb Darge a few years back where he explains its a real beat up copy but took him ages to find. I only know of one other person that has it and his is MINT ! Steve Hiscock. Step it up - The Bamboos Featuring Alice Russell One that really got under my skin last year Sly & the Family Stone - Dance to the Music Golden oldie Sly could open a whole can of stuff for you Marve Whitney - Unwind yourself again another artist along with James Brown that could have a whole bag of stuff worth looking into. Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Absolute Funkin Class ! Avarage Whiteband - Pick up the pieces Again club funk but still a great dancer Manifesto - A case of time K-Jee - Night lighters Isley Brothers - Is this your thing Real sassy soulful funk Bobby Byrd - I know you got soul 10/10 for Pat Bleasdale for throwing this into her play mix Ria Curry - Everythings gonna be alright Spanky Wilson - Kissin my love And finally my very first funk influenced soul tune bought at Notre Dam 10 years ago was Koffies - You put a wall between us.
