Mike Lofthouse Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 All that lot listed and I can't see a mention of Billy Harner - arguably the most prolific of the lot. And a genuine Blue eyed soul singer rather than a rock/pop artist who made a record that got played on the northern soul scene! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-R Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Margo & The Marvettes " When Love Slips Away " My apologies if it has been mentioned before . Malc Lovely! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Souljer6 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 How can this inferior version trump Dee Dee Warwicks sublime original?? Has Len Barry been mentioned yet? A true ns hero. What about April Stevens, Jimmy Seals, John Andrews, Frankie & Johnny, Sharon Soul?? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If anyone wants something to listen to while browsing this topic, here's a podcast I did a while back, it's not ALL blue eyed, but there are some great blue eyed tracks mixed in there https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/blue-eyes-black-heart-rare-northern-soul/ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Matt Male Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm a fan of Susan Rafey. Hurt So Bad and I Can't Say are stand outs by her. Can't get Refosoul to work for some reason... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Matt Male Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Also The Underdogs version of Love's Gone Bad. I quite like a bit of garage. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That is a fantastic version, I've actually got this, one of the few originals I actually bothered to keep cos I knew it wasn't available on a pressing.

Gene-R Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Really pleased to see how the thread is going - lots of interesting clips which I'm looking forward to listening to in my lunch hour, or when I get home later. Keep it going! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest in town Mikey Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm guessing Beverley Ann is white. You've got your mind.... and He's Coming Home, on the right night, can usually get me dancing. When I first started going to nights around the Gloucester area, he's Coming Home was a sure bet to get a full dancefloor for any DJ. Maybe wouldnt get the same reaction, outside of a Sunday evening at a weekender? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Definately white, she is in fact Breverly Bremmers who sang "get smart girl" on Scepter, she's also on Facebook and happy to answer "friend" requests and have the odd chat!

Gene-R Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) The clip of Judy Hughes on Shivaree is absolutely awesome! I didn't know about it either, but I have just been pleasantly gobsmacked! And she's quite a cutie! PS - The Contessas is also brilliant! Can't believe it's only a £20something record - sounds like it should be worth at least five times that amount!

Gene-R Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 brilliant record,also another great record called peace pipe. Yep - if it's the instrumental track you're talking about Gary, it's by Pal & The Prophets on Jamie. I assume it's the same Pal (Rakes) & The Prophets who did "Can't Deny The Hurt" - is that right?
