Hi Everyone, I'm new to Soulsource and Northern Soul in general. I'm putting together a track list to be played at my wedding in a couple of weeks and I was hoping to pick your brains for good songs.

I love soul and figure it's a good genre for oldies and younguns to both have a boogy to.

So hit me with your favourite dancing northern soul tracks.

Much appreciated,

Mark

I would say this but there are some great tunes on my Youtube Channel. Click on the link below. Willie Tee - First taste Of Hurt would be recommended. Congratulations on your wedding BTW.

How about THIRD FINGER LEFT HAND - Martha and the Vandellas not Northern but very topical.

My daughters wedding last week. Unknown to me she had selected a few (very) mixed tunes to be played for about 10 mins before walking into wedding room.

First up was Frank Wilson, complete surprise. Played to death I know but just listen to the lyrics.

yvonne fair it should have been me

Nice wedding tune IMO Dorothy moores "Special occasion "

All the best for the future!!

Here are a few tracks played at my wedding service

Isley Brothers - My Love Is Your Love

Platters - With This Ring

Helen Shapiro - He Knows How To Love Me (my wife's choice)

Daybreak - Everything Man (my wife's choice)

Marvin & Tammi - Aint No Mountain

Jimmy Radclife - Long After Tonight

And that's just the service, my old mate Col Wheldrake DJ'd at the reception, all the classic northern tracks, and a great time was had by all.

Cheers, Heath

Spiral Staircase--I Love You More Today Than Yesterday

As we walked in -David Ruffin- I'm coming home in the morning.The most stunning beautiful track...

George Lemons - Fascinating Girl

Here's a couple of overlapping lists of songs I've put onto CD for friends when they've been getting married. One is centred on Northern, the other a little more varied Soul.

Enjoy the day!

Empires Your on top girl, wait till every one has gone thou

Not really northen but,

one that always brings a lump to my throat and the merest glisten of a teardrop to my rheumy old eyes because it reminds me of my own wedding day in so many subtle ways.

If i'm ever lucky enough to tie the knot, for my 1st dance it would have to be The Tribulations - You Gave Me Up for Promises. Although the lyrics desribe a young lady leaving our lead singer for a man who promises her the world and the soulful singer describes how he will never take her back, its the structure of the sngs which is perfect for shocking your audience. It starts of soft and slow, to the unsupected ear, a normal slow dance song. But 30 seconds in WAM!! the tempo suddenly explodes into a 100 miles per hour sprint and suddenly screams Northern Soul. I've often fantasised with my girlfriend that if this was to be our 1st dance song we would start off in each other arms for the mellow beggining and when that beat kicks in we would seperate and throw ourselves about

Best of luck to you fella. I hope you and your future Mrs enjoy a long and happy marrage

KTF

Mother-in-Law------Ernie K Doe

First I look at the purse-----Contours

Running for my life-------Roscoe Shelton

And a bit on the lovey-dovey sloppy side

Pyramid------Soul inc

The Joytones - This Love that i'm giving you

brings a tear to the eye of even the most hardened stomper

Gladys Knight 'You're the best thing that ever happened to me'. First dance 24/03/2012!

Surely it's GOTTA be the Dixie Cups - Chapel of Love.

For me though - Gladys doing He's My Kinda Fella, the Originals Baby I'm For Real or Bobby Taylor Does your mamma know about me - all intensely personal.
