February 11, 201312 yr A friend has asked me for help in choosing a soul track as a first dance at their wedding, if anyone has any bright ideas please post something up, thanks. I was thinking: The Joytones 'This Love' That's a great choice Mike. You could get a thousand different suggestions - I guess it's what sort of dancers the happy couple are. Peter
February 11, 201312 yr My middle daughter had a 'slow' 1st dance, and 'more danceable' 2nd 1st dance! (love love love - Bobby Hebb)
February 11, 201312 yr Author I should maybe enquire as to what type of dance they require, they are not connoisseurs but are both musically linked by soul
February 11, 201312 yr Enchantments? Sorry Mike,stick to a Motown classic.Can't go wrong. Edited February 11, 201312 yr by KevH
February 11, 201312 yr Love Don't Come No Stronger - Jeff Perry. I suspect from a lyrics point of view this has to be a winner. Peter Edited February 11, 201312 yr by Peter99
February 11, 201312 yr There's a few Detroit Emeralds tunes that might fit the bill.... 'Do me right', 'Baby let me take you (in my arms)', 'You want it you got it', 'feel the need', 'Wear this ring' has the perfect lyrics... Wear this ring with love forever Wear this ring with love This ring means I love you And this ring means you love me too It's a ring to seal our love together You for me, me always for you And you be my woman And, baby, I'll be your man If you just wear this ring With love forever This ring will tell a story Think of all the good things we got to Settle down and have two little children A boy for me and a Sweet little girl for you How sweet it is for a Man to love his woman And, baby, for a woman To love her man Please, wear this ring with love (Promise me, baby) forever Forever (I know you're gonna do it for me) Forever (ever and ever) and more Wear this ring with love (hey) Wear this ring with love (listen now) Now just put this ring on your finger And we will be on a ship of love You and me having lots of fun together Making real, all the things we dream of How sweet it is for a Man to love his woman And, baby, for a woman To love her man Please, wear this ring with love (Promise me, baby) Wear this ring with love (Don't ever pull it off of your finger) Wear this ring with love (I know you're gonna) Wear this ring with love (You're gonna do it for me now) Edited February 11, 201312 yr by MrC

February 11, 201312 yr Love Don't Come No Stronger - Jeff Perry. I suspect from a lyrics point of view this has to be a winner. Peter That's a great choice. It's such an irresistible hook and arrangement that anyone who doesn't know it will still shuffle their feet and enjoy it. Ian D
February 11, 201312 yr We had Glen Miller at ours, and such a nice guy too. Whatever happened to him ?? Can't honestly recall what we had at ours. Whatever it was it was deffo OVO !!!!!!!!!!
February 11, 201312 yr I've already decided if I'm getting married, that first dance is going to be "Hey!!" by Barbara Mercer.
February 11, 201312 yr Ebonystic - Married To One (In Love With Another) Chuck Bernard or Billy Bland - She's Already Married Gene Chandler - Not The Marrying Kind Lou Johnson - Please Stop the Wedding James Carpenter - (Marriage Is Only) A State Of Mind or Johnny Moore - (I Wanna) Spend The Rest Of My Life Edited February 12, 201312 yr by Dave Turner
February 11, 201312 yr The Blues Busters "Behold" And the ska version is even better! Should they not be deciding on a song themselves???!!!
February 11, 201312 yr A friend has asked me for help in choosing a soul track as a first dance at their wedding, if anyone has any bright ideas please post something up, thanks. I was thinking: The Joytones 'This Love' Hey Mate when's the wedding (date) Garry Huxley
February 11, 201312 yr Our weddings in August....that'll be our day , our tunes and our expense We got some teddy boys coming for good measure Rock a hula baby indeed!
February 11, 201312 yr Hey Mate when's the wedding (date) Garry Huxley P.S. I was thinking back to the 80's when a certain couple were unsure about their first record, It was in June so i suggeste, Reflections June bride, So i duly went and got a demo, as he was a scooter boy, Got the poser chiltern radio dj to play it, And later put it in a frame and gave it as a wedding pressie, (Yeah i know what your thinkin, CHEAPSKATE) But i got so many cuddles off the bride, ("Oh Garry your so romantic") And more from bridesmaids !!!!!!! Garry Huxley
February 11, 201312 yr Just a thought, instead of them picking a song from a list of soul source suggestions. Maybe get them to draw up a list of their favorite soul songs they feel suitable for the occasion? I personally wouldn't want to pick a song that I've never heard before or a song that didn't have a personal connection with. Unless of course, one of these suggestions blows them away! personally though, something like the Impressions - I'm The One Who Loves You or if they like 70's stuff, The Street People - I Wanna Spend My Whole Life With You Edited February 11, 201312 yr by NorthernJordan
February 11, 201312 yr The Blues Busters "Behold" And the ska version is even better! Should they not be deciding on a song themselves???!!! WOW What a tune Can you post the ska version. This one is superb highland soul. Garry
February 11, 201312 yr Magic Night - If You And I Had Never Met Scrap that, ive just listened to the lyrics more closely :O
February 11, 201312 yr Author P.S. I was thinking back to the 80's when a certain couple were unsure about their first record, It was in June so i suggeste, Reflections June bride, So i duly went and got a demo, as he was a scooter boy, Got the poser chiltern radio dj to play it, And later put it in a frame and gave it as a wedding pressie, (Yeah i know what your thinkin, CHEAPSKATE) But i got so many cuddles off the bride, ("Oh Garry your so romantic") And more from bridesmaids !!!!!!! Garry Huxley Will do some more research and let you guys know the date. They really don't have much of an idea what to chose, so the most fitting tune will be fine it seems, doing a favour for a work colleague, it's his wedding
February 11, 201312 yr Two ideal tunes would be Make Me Yours Bettye Swann and Some Kind of Wonderful by The Del Royals. Words of both are pretty romantic and appropriate for that first dance for the couple. You're gonna have to play a lot of these suggestions to the couple Mike. By the way, I cannot find Some Kind of Wonderful by The Del Royals on You Tube anymore. Anyone know why that might be and more importantly can anyone put it back up please? Kind regards. Drew. Edited February 11, 201312 yr by Drew3
February 11, 201312 yr Pete Warner - "I just want to spend my life with you." Edited February 11, 201312 yr by KevH
February 11, 201312 yr Stay Close To Me - The Five Stairsteps Just remember to put the right side on, the b sides called I Made A Mistake Steve
February 11, 201312 yr Author All these are great, this is so helfful, thanks to everyone who has posted suggestions. I have lots of work to do I, hopefully sending YouTube links to the happy couple will suffice until a decision is made.
February 11, 201312 yr The classic first dance record is The Intruders United: Little Sonny ! One of THE greatest voices in soul !
February 12, 201312 yr What about Bobby Mc Clure - "You bring out the love in me "........Ideal i'd say ? regards, John Mc.
February 12, 201312 yr My fiancee and I are going to have "The Day I Laid Eyes On You" by Leon Haywood. Not a rare tune but a perfect one!
February 12, 201312 yr WOW What a tune Can you post the ska version. This one is superb highland soul. Well, it's Jamaican soul! Ska version as requested...
