Which Northern Record do you want played at your funeral?

I've told all of my kids that I want Alexander Patton "A lil loving sometimes" played at my funeral as my main song. There are a couple of other things on the list too.. records to be playing as people come in etc, but as I want to be cremated, It's the Alexander Patton I want to be played LOUD just before/as I dissapear behind the curtain/door to the "hot room"

Just wondering if anyone else had made this decision or what songs you'd pick.

Cheers,

Paul

anything modern, to help get the people out a fast as possible

is that that 70s modern stuff?? done 40 years ago??

Or something more up to date...??

More importantly who gets the record collection when we've gone? Needless to say I don't have any but Hubby has some amazing tracks. X

Ps Sorry to digress. I have also told Hubby that along with dancing on his ashes I'm going to take my all time favourite track (Gimme Some Lovin -The Deltones) out of his collection and with a silver/gold pen write KATRINA'S on the middle of it..... sn***** X

I don't want to die.....

'Aint no soul - Major Lance

i wont play any.

i want them to play " sad girl" carol anderson.....but my daughter has said she will play "baby love" supremes because she knows i hate that song with a passion.........kids dont you just love them

It will be predictable for me with 'Time will pass you by' Tobi Legend.

Away from Northern Soul I heard a story on Radio 4 when I guy arranged for the conveyer belt to stop on the way through to being burnt, everybody at the funeral gulped and then the 'Hamlet' tune played! total quality!!!

I don't want to die.....

I do...now

With a bit of luck they would have the wake before the funeral and then play the Subway Riders "After The Session" when I go through the flame grill.

Steve

3 for me

Craig Douglas- Dont mind if I cry (Northern record)

Todd Rundgren - Fade away (Or the Mummers version will do fine :

It Bites - Old man & the angel ( Heard them play it live last week - Superb)

Got to say, I've always had this vision.
