I would class it as almighty SOUL record rather than Out & Out Northern, and for that reason alone, I think many people outside the northern scene could easy get there head around this wonderful song. Now Peanut Duck, only northern soulies understand this.

Don't care what anybody says, I love it and so does my 8 year old son. So there

I would class this as full on Northern.

Jackie Lee - P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-I-T-Y (Mirwood)

Sorry haven't got a sound clip.

I think there may be some conspiracy afoot tonight.

Have to agree with Netspeaky, here. This is just a soul record; a very very good soul record redolent of Southern Baptist Churches.

But here is my nomination that has that crazy element that I think you are looking for.

William_Powell___Heartache_Souvenirs___Power_House_101.mp3

Cancel William Powell. It's nowhere mad enough. What about the Del Satins?

Del_Satins___Baby_you_re_the_fireRe1.mp3

Hi Billy

Cheers for posting mp3s.

Truly, great tracks, but not what I'm looking for tonite.

By comparison your tracks are tame. Almost pedestrian.

I'm looking for 3am banging nighter sounds.

Col.

]Love the Cissy Houston classic and have played it loads of times at The 44 Club.

Here's another couple of monsters.

And your nomination is a picture and a smiley, then, Dave?

Dave could probably dance to this with a pint in each hand but other people might find it reasonably lively.

DJ

Ok Soul "Simon Cowell" Smith perhaps my nominations were not that mental in a Mello Souls sense. But they were straight ahead Northern I think. Here is another:

Another nomination.

James_Wesley_Smith___Talkin___Bout_Women___Angeltown.mp3

You Don't Mean It by Towanda Barnes and Love You Baby by Eddie Foster. How could anyone off the scene grow to like these?

Thta's quite a bizarre choice as it's very mainstream. In fact I first heard it on the Chess/Janus Mobile Discotheque album in 1974. Mental Northern Soul is the likes of Terrible Tom.
