or indeed anything else by Ace

When I started learning my personal ambition was always to play the raucus sax solo in George Clinton's "Please Don't Run From Me". I did eventually manage a 'poor man's version'. :lol:

Also, of course the opening salvo of Jr Walker's "I Ain't Going Nowhere" is stooopendous (and a little easier to learn).

Dave

Great sax break at 1.00

Was playing it at work years ago and a colleague who was a sax player was blown away (sorry bout that) by it

watch?v=h1LMDuyaRe4&feature=related

Saxie russel Psychodelic soul

Earl Wright Thumb a ride

Danny Wagner I lost a true love

Juniour Wlaker Take your pick of many,in fact the northern soul scene is crammed with great sounds having great sax breaks,close your eyes take a pin and finsd a list youre odds on to find some

Detoit land apples I need help

Impressions......"you ought to be in heaven"...with a super long sax break

:yes:

Post #17 ... tube clip shows Danny Wagner unfortunately

Apart from all the Jr Walker stuff referred to above, my aim was always to play the sax break from What Good am I (Without You) - Mickie Champion.

One for the anoraks....This guy made a study of R&B sax solos. I'm working my way slowly and painfully through these.

It's good to be ambitious. :yes:

Just got a copy of Ko Ko Taylors Fire on Chess,It has a fantastic sax break in it,have a listen on you tube if you havent heard it.Pure class. Also Earl Lett- Soul Sax.

THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE TOP OF MOST PEOPLES LIST

Good un but what Bill Black Combo Little Queenie takes some topping

Going by all the misprinted labels, with spelling mistakes as basic as artists' & writers' names & song titles, it's a miracle that many NS

toons ever got released. So who told the guys at Arctic to put a penguin on there?

An old Dave Thorley spin - picked up from one of Chalky's Stafford podcasts - cos I would never have remembered it: Debby Dobbins - nice.

Love the vocals on this - and the sax break too.

:g:

Roadrunner by Junior Walker..one of the best sax breaks on a record ever..if that doesnt inspire...well...Delxxxxx

G Davis R Tyler Hold on help is on the way! ( Slightly off topic but I find it hard to believe and cant percieve that the chairman of the northstalker keymarang club is not posting on these forums? or at least reading them,bet hes reading them!)

Don't remember Bob with a tache but a slight fella, often backed Tony Christie as well.

Cant please everyone mate I liked it but time and place an all that but I went out the other night and heard two whole dj sets of what sounded shite to me but hey I am only just stating to get out and listen after thirty odd years and quite a lot of what ive heard sounds shite although I do say your deddie dobbins posting is new to me anyway,and that does cut it as far as I am concerned just that I havent heard much to match ,still plenty of time and all that atb

Al Serafini - Hey, Soul Man / Lil Rosey.

Both sides sax instrumentals. Mentioned this 45 before in the recent "Instrumentals Still Collecting Them" thread. Wouldn't say they're my faves as such but,from a saxophonists perspective,would be good to play along to.

Or something short but punchy Patti & the Emblems - Easy Come, Easy go has a good break at about 1:30

Zola King Errison

The trip - Dave mitchel and the screamers - not so much sax playing more stangeling but hey ho
