Soulstu Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The Butlers - she tried to kiss me This one has to win hands down. It's at the absolute limit for being able to dance to with dignity intact. When I was a lad there was a line drawn in the sand (talc) at which northern dancing became somewhat akin to a crap aerobics class. The line was called.... Heatwave. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Derek Pearson Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Top of the list has got to be........ you know you want to dance and you should but I can't. Curtis Mayfield "Move On Up".

Guest Dave Ward Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 As the originator of this thread, Can I thank you all for getting stuck in, Over 100 responses and lots more views ! I've either listened to your posted links, or searched out the ones I haven't heard on You-Tube etc. Hope you all enjoyed the theme as well. I can almost imagine where and when you danced and also your dance style/s from your choices. I tried to set the tone from the start as traditional Northern, surprising how many selections I'd have rated as mid-tempo though ! I've got a couple of more ideas - but, thanks for your support.

Premium Stuff Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 ... surprising how many selections I'd have rated as mid-tempo though ! I've got a couple of more ideas - but, thanks for your support. Yes, there are definitely a few mid-tempo things in there. This thread was surely supposed to be about the superfast records - faster than the "normal" stomping Northern Soul tempo Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Matt Male Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Despite being a stone cold classic, and I love it, I have never danced to it because it's just too fast (even when I was young enough not to have a heart attack). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sRRruHfUn0 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Labeat Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 What is your history dude ??????, you come out of left field with a comment like that ????? Well firstly, I know how to spell the word "Facetious", and I also know the meaning. But no, I don't take the piss out of people I don't know... only my mates... to their face! I will have more respect for you not knowing you. Well, my history.... I don't have all day to explain but briefly, I bought Patti Austin at the Torch in 1972, I have never regarded this tune as "Superfast"... not even "Fast". The reader asked for "superfast" that's all, I am not disrespecting you at all. I started out with soul in in 1968 while still at school and still going strong to this day... soul nights and nighters. God im tired now, gotta go to bed again.

Guest Dave Ward Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 My thread, my rules, Stompers only ! You can't have 7th Wonder - Captain of my Ship, or East Coast Connection - Summer in the Parks, because they are 'Shufflers'. Though why the heck the fastest footwork ever, got the name 'Shuffle' I'll never know. I might do another thread re: "Fast Shufflers" one day, but not now. Behave yourselves. I am going to bed now, as I have mostly been drinking alcohol. Some good stuff posted on here though ! Thanks.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Irish Spinner Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Don't forget it ain't how fast you think a track is. Its the beat you can't handle. Due to your a lack of rhythm on the dance floor. Just watch how to keep up with the beat. They soon filled the floor at the start of this grt track at the last Burnley all niter. Then they dropped like flies when this extremely hard dance track got going. Played out by The Ruddster hard core luv it. .https://youtu.be/8OkDOV9RmSA Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
