what records could be garanted floor fillers eg williams and watson to late

For me it's 7th Avenue Aviators - You Should 'O Held On. It breaks, & it builds just nice.

Not sure that would fill the floor at some of the places I frequent any more.....maybe 35 years ago.....however:

Its Beautiful - Ruby Andrews

Shake Sheri - Hopkins Brothers

Parliaments - Rainy Day

Sag War Fare - Dont Be So Jive/Girl You Better Change

Sir Joe - Nobody Beats My Love

Eddie Daniels - Is He Better Than Me

Just a few of the top of my head.......

that's called 'bustin a move' in some circles........

you're my mellow would still get me moving to the dancefloor

As you know Steve we have ladies at events also... What would they scratch or is this just a bloke thing???

PC soul brigade..

Floor fillers..... With the difference in soul clubs and sounds its gonna be a matter of opinion indeed...

What moves one venue could lead to a stampede for the door at others.

Maybe the topic starter is talking about traditional northern oldies night????

Edited July 6, 201114 yr by little-stevie

think stevie is probably right with what he said,depends on wich venues youre attending, a yorkshire dj spun bill brandon & lorraine johnson / fulltime groover in the east mids and emptied the floor,yet the following week played it again in sheffield and packed the floor.

eney record if it packs the dance floor its worth a mention

Some friends and I do an night which spans tastes from Rock-A-Billy to Doo-Wop to Soul in San Francisco, so not sure if our "floorfillers" would be relevant but for the sake of fun here are few we've had great fun with over the last 8 or so years

Harvey- Any Way You Wanna - Tri Phi

The Four Casts (The Lidels) - Stormy Weather - Atlantic

The Versatones -Bila - Atlantic

Eddie Cash & The Cash Registers - Doin' All Right -Peak

Bill Allen & His Backbeats - Please Give me Something

Wade Flemons - Jeannette - Ramsel

Patience Valentine - If You Don't Come - Sar

Dave C and The Sharptones - Diane - WHirl

Serenaders - Dance Darling - MGM

Caronators - Seniorita/ Long Hot Summer- Clock

Mel & Tim - Forever and A day

and anything by Gino Washington....

I'll follow Mr Vickers love the funky Hopkins Brothers - Shake Sheri (Magnetic) but if the set had a funky feel at a said event where people appreciated such music a floor filler would be The Devils feat. J. Watson Vance - Love & Understanding (Cuca).

It Certainly is a heady mix from Sidney Barnes & his Serenaders from the 50's to Mel & Tim from 1973 a full on 4:30 plus track!!!!

It certainly does add up to alot of fun & fancy footwork.

some that for me works very very well everytime i've spun it

Frank Beverly if thats what you wanted

Vibrations Cause you're mine

Tommy Neal Going to happening

Charles Sheffield Vodoo workin

Ernie Washington Lonesome shack

Jimmie preacher ellis i'm gonna do by yourself

Frederick Hymes III time ain't gonna do me no favour

Sage i'm alive

Little Beaver Listen to my heartbeat

Charles Johnson You made a mistake

Oh wow I didn't know Sidney Barnes was in the Serenaders, cool! Yeah it's an eclectic mix but when it works right, fairly blissful!

Regarding floorfillers, one that always got me at the no longer active but fondly remembered 60's night out here was

Since I Found My Baby - The Metros

Eddie Holman I surrender. Will Collins Anything i can do. Cant go wrong with these two.

Invitations - What's wrong with me baby"

Charles Sheffield Vodoo workin

cosign on this one, dancefloor catnip.

It depends on the floor, stone, tiled, floor boards, B and Q do a range of fillers to suit all floor types, remember to rub them down with good quality sand paper.

FUNKY SISTERS /DO IT TO IT .... OLYMPICS / SAME OLD THING...JACKIE LEE / DO THE TEMPTATION WALK...MARSHA GEE / BABY I NEED YOU....PRODUCERS / LADY LADY LADY...BARBARA AND BRENDA / NEVER LOVE A ROBIN...BILLY WOODS / LET ME MAKE YOU HAPPY...AUDIO ARTS / LOVE BOUND...FURYS / IM SATISFIED WITH YOU...DRAMATICS / INKY DINKY WANG DANG DO

Vibrations Cause you're mine

I always use that as an emergency floor filler!

That's a very good point Pete.The panic button floor filler.Every dj should carry one.(Or 2 in the East Midlands).

Unless you've got a skin like a rhino.

With no disrespect intended, that probably says more about you, than it doeas about the records & of course that was partly the intention anyway.

Parisians - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

The Four Pros - Just Another Girl

Mickey Champion - What Good Am I

Sag War Fare - Dont Be So Jive

omg! mixed feelings when you discover a tune like this... feels great listening to this masterpiece, on the other hand it's frustrating to know that there are almost 0 chances to get a copy.

perfect record in it's own way.

Mick H played this on Saturday night. Unsurprisingly, it packed the floor.

Ever again - which ever version you put on .

Yum Yum Tree is another floor filler for me

Something that sounds similar to "Tighten Up" seems to be the order of the day well at least the venues i attend

Yea! Get'um Eddie! I was waiting for this to hit!
