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 ;-)

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.....

Some songs are so good, they should appeal to EVERYONE...

You know if you need me, see I'll be there - ah ha

All of your problems, honey, they are mine to share

I can't give you the world; you know all I can give you is me

Now baby... Ain't that good enough? Won't that be good enough, baby?

Hi Roger

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

Got any positive nominations?

Col.

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. :yes:

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

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

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 :thumbsup::yes:

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! :thumbsup:

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.
