Carla Thomas - Every Ounce of Strength

Love the Emotions recommended by Seano.

My favourite is The Astors - Candy. Could listen to it every day and never get tired of it.

I'm surprised more people haven't named Darrell Banks - I'm the One Who loves You. I would have guessed that that is the most popular Northern track on Stax.

Candy - The Astors

You Never Know How Much I Love You - Oscar Mack

Margie Joseph - Nobody - Volt

_{RUFUS THOMAS FUNKY CHICKEN}

_{STAPLE SINGERS I,LL TAKE YOU THERE}

Margie Joseph - Medicine Head

Sam & Dave - I Thank You

Hey Grant-I absolutely love Sam & Daves stuff and I Thank You is probably me favourite, but I don't associate it with Northern as such, more of a Club Soul sound to me.

Probably an age thing..... (where's me smilas gone?)

Might stick it in me box then-If it's good enough for Burnley it'll do for me ..

(still no smilas)

I thank you is one if the best quality tracks on the label and a sound that transitioned me from Motown/Stax/Atlantic to proper Northern. Asked for it to be played in a 'mod' club near Melton Mowbray as a teenager and remember how it cleared the floor - just me dancing - but what a fabulous sound - and a p*ss poor response from the mods.

Cheers
