Pete S Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 YOUTH CLUB SOUL REVISITED Here’s a selection of sounds big in the youth clubs between 1969 and 1975, many of which started in the “Rare Soul” clubs and made their way into public consciousness resulting in chart hits for the likes of The Newbeats, The Fascinations and Dobie Gray. Amost everyone you knew was into Soul music back in those days – either that or they were either an ex-RAF greatcoat wearing Prog Rocker, or a Slade loving Boot Boy. Well I always loved Slade to be honest but hated that Prog Rock rubbish and still do…anyway, dancing shoes at the ready, this one is going to make you feel like a teenager again…that’s presuming you’re now an old git like me BOOKER T & THE MG’S – TIME IS TIGHT THE NEWBEATS – RUN BABY RUN CANDY & THE KISSES – THE 81 THE SAPPHIRES – THE SLOW FIZZ BILL COSBY – LITTLE OLE MAN THE CAPITOLS – COOL JERK ANDRE BRASSEUR – THE KID JERRYO – KARATE BOOGALOO THE DRAMATICS – INKY DANG WANG DANG DOO JACKIE LEE – THE SHOTGUN AND THE DUCK BUNNY SIGLER – LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL MITCH RYDER & THE DETROIT WHEELS – BREAK OUT BOB & EARL – HARLEM SHUFFLE MICKEY LEE LANE – HEY SAH LO NEY JOE TEX – SHOW ME JAMO THOMAS – I SPY FOR THE FBI VAL McKENNA – LOVE FEELING JIMMY JAMES – A MAN LIKE ME CURTIS MAYFIELD – MOVE ON UP JOHN MILES – ONE MINUTE EVERY HOUR FATHER’S ANGELS – BOK TO BACH ARCHIE BELL & THE DRELLS – HERE I GO AGAIN EDWIN STARR – AGENT DOUBLE O SOUL THE VELVELETTES – THESE THINGS WILL KEEP ME LOVING YOU EARL VAN DYKE – 6 BY 6 R.

Dayo Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Nice one Pete! Worcester City Youth played a lot of those around '72. "Breakout" used to get everyone in a right frenzy. Scruboard was a huge favourite too, along with the Shakers, Devil with a Blue Dress, Purple Haze and Love Train. One Minute Every Hour was played every hour at least!
