I always find it impossible to list my top 5 etc as it seems to change weekly.

But one constant for the last five years or so is my number one favorite for the dance floor and that's Butch's Mighty Lovers cover up. It is just so perfect to dance to and a weapon of a song. Proper Northern Soul.

Absolutely mate, easily the best record of recent years for me - anyone not hearing this is missing out! Love it

Heres another 4 from me to make a current top 5

Tiaras - Loves Made A Connection

Benny Sigler - I Can Give You Love (seriously underrated)

Junior McCants - Try Me For Your New Love

Temptations - Forever In my Heart

Rob Marriott played the last 2 at the recent trotters revival, which got me playing em again -magic!!

PS love that description Byrney "weapon of a song" might have to borrow that one

5 favourites from tonights record room chill out! Trev.

Five of the most played tracks in my house recently...

LONNIE POLK - I Kiss It And Make It Better (Mercury) 1974

MAXINE BROWN - Don't Leave Me Baby (Epic LP) 1968

THE LIMELITES - Before The Next Teardrop Falls (Creative Funk) 1975

DEE DEE SHARP - I Really Love You (Cameo) 1965

GEORGIE FLAME - You've Gone (Darnel) 1974

I just bought a fresh mint copy of Lonnie Polk, my old copy was well worn after so many plays, so I've fallen in love with it all over again. Chicago artist recorded in Memphis with Denise LaSalle and obviously capturing the classic Hi and Al Green sound.

I have the Maxine Brown album on Japanese CD but I recently bought a mint promo LP from Alan Thompson (Tomo) so it's been getting quite a few spins in my house again ...and I heard it might get issued on a 45 one day.

I recently remastered The Limelites track because I licensed to it Ace for their new Kent album Behind Closed Doors - Where Country Meets Soul (CDKEND375) which is highly recommended. It sounds great and makes me realise how it could so easily have been a smash hit in 1975 if they'd had distribution. Tony Rounce obviously likes this ballad, as does Mike Lofthouse and Manus, but it seems a lot of people overlooked it.

'I Really Love You' was the first Dee Dee Sharp record I ever bought and it sounds even better as it gets older. I'm told it's Dee Dee's favorite too and she happens to be Roger's 'artist of the week' in the look at your box section this week. I know Kev Cane also rates this track and that's always a good sign.

The US copy of Gorgie Flame is a different mix to the version issued in the UK in Seville in 1976 which I've had for many years - and the song title, artist name and the production credits were slightly modified on the UK issue which was credited as 'You're Gone' by George Flame.

I don't know much about Georgie Flame or Lonnie Polk, other than Lonnie also did some backing vocals for Ten City.

Paul

Are we talking soul here ??? Because all I hear at the moment is the themes to Emmerdale & Coronation Street ??

nomads - something bad

little john - just wait & see

prophets - one gold piece

j d bryant - won't be coming back

romana collins - you've been cheeting

i'll go anywhere to hear these

five great tunes TOSSPOT

Not easy to pick a top 5 as, like other people, mine changes. But these will always get me out there, or they will when I'm fit for dancing again.

Martha Jean Love cover up - That's the way the story goes

Martha Jean Love cover up - Old time lover

Joseph Webster - My love is strong

The Poets - Wrapped around your finger

Ruby - Feminine ingenuity

I think it's been a bit tame on here lately and it's good to see a bit of spirit. Nobody ever really agrees with anyone else anyway - as long as there's no personal abuse I say go for it.

I will however qualify my post by stating that my own top 5 would see me laughed of the site. So there

bobby patterson - right on jody - paula

dee dee warwick - where is that rainbow - mercury lp

les mccann - strange little girl - limelight lp

irene & the scotts - why do you treat me like you do - smash

had "rainbow" on a 7", never knew it was completely different from the lp cut, difference in year of production as well

atmospheric & sublimnal lyrics plus the heart wrenching chorus in the hands of a "to die for" diva

every day a copy of bobby patterson appears on here......so unbelievably cheap...so unerringly brilliant...why its not mega bucks is beyond me...perhaps the vinyl well hasnt dried up enough yet.

irene & the scotts......well, sadly weve just been told about the loss of one of the accredited writers of this double a-sided masterpiece, robert kreinar ( bob babbitt ) along with micheal & raymond of " man without a woman" fame. you wouldn't put it past bob playing bass on this one as well!.

lots of talk on here recently as well about les mccann, this penchant in recent years for latino grooves is well founded, born off the back of totw's noteriety for all manner of soulful expression...time for another blast.

intrigues...least known or easy to find of their yew recordings, yet not stupidly expensive it would seem, great crossover track with a philadelphian feel to it...and they went on to cut the wonderful "fly now, pay later" but thats another story..

I don't know the title and can never make the lyrics out as I'm too busy pogoing to it. But 'they are sayin' does sound like what is repeated in the chorus.

I think I first heard it around the same time as Butch was playing the Parliments C/u as the Masqueraders.

Nice to see the flip of Lonnie's "I Can Make You Happy" bought this first for ICMYH but really like the flip these days.

I had a message from Lonnie a few years ago after I'd posted both sides on my youtube channel, he told me he'd done a whole LP for Mercury? I've never seen anything else by him from the 70's? In the man's words "I recorded those records when I was 18 years old with James and Willie Mitchell accompanied by some of the best musicians in that era"

..and put me on the list of Dee Dee's "I Really Love You" fans, I'm one of those that took years of having "Standing In The Need Of Love" before really appreciating the timeless quality of the other side!

Hello Steve,

That's interesting, I'd love to hear the LP Lonnie cut for Mercury. It's bound to be good.

We should start a Lonnie Polk fan club.

Great taste, by the way.

Best wishes,

Paul

just started to make a top five and got to 48 so gave up.

hi Paul, would love to hear it myself! never seen it, wonder if it ever made it to general release, Lonnie said he'd been given no copies of it? so would think it at least made demo stage. I lost contact with him, but see that he still has a youtube channel, but inactive for over 2 years.
