Sorry, but most replies here are 70's northern and would not be heard in a 'proper' modern room these days.

Dave - 'who know fack all about modern' aprat from the above ;-)

Sydney Joe Qualls- I don't do this

Sister Sledge- Love Don't you go through no changes

Rare Pleasure- Let me down easy

Prince Philip Mitchell- Something for the head

Jan Jones- Independant woman

Randy Brown "Always in the mood"

Chuck Cissell "Dont tell me you`re sorry"

Barrino brothers "Trapped in a love"

David Ruffin "Rode by the place"

all massive around here at the moment. I`d say the classic "both rooms" records would have to be;

Lew Kirton "Heaven in the afternoon"

Charles Johnson "Never had a love so good"

Will Collins "Anything i can do"

Sure you would still get a good reaction to these in a modern room if played at the right time and place. Modern rooms these days seem to consist of very little 70s and concentrate on the newer releases along with 80s and 90s tracks.....

Paul Mooney www.millbrand.com

Hi Roger

Often here Martha Reeves played out at modern dos down south. Goes down very well too. Breaks it up a bit

Got any positive nominations?

Col.

Bobby Thurston "Just ask me"....... pure class...

Agreed, but maybe not that well known for this poll.

Haven't got a clue what gets played in the northern rooms I'm afraid Col. Terry Gee's list is probably the closest to what you were after I'd say.

And rightly so. I still can't understand why this puzzles so many people.

king tutt- you got me hung up

willi j.& co - boogie with your baby

winfield parker-i want to be with you

barbara mason & futures - make it last

aly-us - follow me

ujima - i'm not ready

harold melvyn- prayin'

timeless legend- i was born to love you

the pro fascination- try love again

family of eve- i want to be loved by you

sort of across the board, but basically to me that should be a main room list in an ideal world, having said that ideally a one room world would be all we needed

One I played at Studio 1 last week.

Not as beautiful as you - Neil Reed.

Just a few what we used to call modern..

Sam Dees - Fragile Handle with Care

Bessie Banks-Don't worry baby, best is yet to come

Brown Sugar -Game is over

Dee Dee Warwick -funny how we changed places

Tony Fox - Love, let love and be loved

coco and Ben

almeta Latimore

corey Glover

There's an R Kelly thing I like, but can't remember the name of it

Not wanting to sound too picky but some of the records listed in this discussion are over 25 years old - do we still percieve these records as "modern"?

The Four Tops were recording "modern" records once - but that was in 1965.

Just realised - anything recorded after December 31st 1969 is classed as modern by some contributors on this site.

Soul music was good in '65 & 40 years on the new releases are still good - open up your minds - you're missing out!

mmmm.previously put up rescent chooonz! that had across the board appeal...so decided to go back a little further as most of the choices seem to be!!!!!

KENNI BURKE "LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU"

MILLIE JACKSON "HOUSE FOR SALE"

BARBERA LEWIS "STILL REMEMBER THE FEELING"

LANIER & CO " I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT YOU"

CHILITES "TRY MY SIDE OF LOVE"

Doesn't the modern tag come from the style, tempo and production of records rather than the year it was recorded. I'm not trying to oversimplify things, I really don't know. I go in modern rooms, and dance to things just as happily as in northern rooms, the prerequisite is that they hit the spot. Think Col, was just trying to see what appealled to both audiences, and obviously stuff that has crossed over to the northern room, would feature more in the picks.

Best both roomer for me at the moment has to be Edwin Starr "Running back and forth" I heard this three times at the recent Blackpool Weekender so it must be popular!!
