Suinoz Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 We all know it's a well known fact that the biggest portion of artists that made our wonderful music were ' one hit wonders '. No fault of their own, they were just a product of their time and sadly most faded into obscurity. But let's not forget the ones that went on to make the ' big time ' commercially. I wonder if they would even remember cutting the all important tracks that have kept us dancing our socks of for the last 30 odd years. Two that spring to mind for me are Ike and Tina Turner and of couse the Pointer Sisters. Any you want to add please feel free. Stay soulful, Tony T BONE. OZ.

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 If in terms of who made is commercially away from Northern soul then Candi Staton, Sam Cooke, the Driffters. All of which made either 1 or only a few Northern soul to turn it round you also have Jackie Wilson who made a big lot of success for Northern soul tracks aswell as commercial music Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest in town Mikey Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Has anyone asked Smokey about - I Care About Detroit? That would be a nice interview. Gene Chandler obviously went on to do pretty well for himself. Even getting a name chack in Corrie (Gene Chandler? Who is she?) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That could prove easier said then done Mike, as soon as a name/artist is posted there will be an 'anorak' that heard the said artists album track played in Oswaldtwistle bowling hut in May '72 or similar, Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
