This morning Johnny Vaughan was banging on about NS on his radio show. He featured it in his "windows down" bit just before 9am. After a big build up with the usual factual errors (e.g. the term northern soul was introduced by Dave GRodin- never heard of him) he played SOS-Edwin Starr, Ghost in My House -R Dean Taylor and Nowhere to Run - Martha Reeves and The Vandellas - mmmm

Got me thinking, If you wanted the masses to get a feeling for Northern Soul what 3 tunes would you have played

How about

Salvadors - Stick By Me baby

Edward Hamilton - Baby Don't you Weep

Ruby Andrews - Just Loving You

Heard him plugging this on Tuesday on the way to school/work; He was singing "Our love will grow" and saying "yeah northern soul, winders dah'n". I was grinning I'm ashamed to say!

Hi

I saw this and thought KFC Adverts, gotta have the records featured on them, did the masses realise that this was Northern Soul that they were listening to.

However

I settled with these 3, the first because Soft Cell was so Incredibly successful with it, Gloria Jones should be recognised as the inspiration for them covering it in the first place.

Even Marilyn Manson has now covered it, so I had to Include It

Tainted Love - Gloria Jones

Too Darn Soulful - Morris Chestnut

I Worship You Baby - The Glories

If they don't rush to the dance floor, check their pulse.

JV also did that thing on his tv show, where a load of mods in parkas would turn up somewhere odd like your office, roll out the lino and start dancing. like mods. to soul.

someone needs to point out the northern soul is a scene in its own right, not a mod 'add-on' or sub-division.

having said that, exposure is good.....i guess.

But i don't like JV much.

Paul.

oh, nearly forgot....3 records....

certainly not ghost in my bloody house anyway.

tainted love is a decent shout - incidentally - did y'all know that gloria jones was marc bolan's missus? she is mom to zolan bolan (or whatever his name is, no disrespect intended)

emmmmm epitome of sound?

something 70s? carstairs?

and just coz it's my fave song just now - bobby reed - i'll find a way. omg WHAT a song!! (mp3 on this site if you search for it).

Hi Paul,

I seem to remember a recent thread on this site discussing JV's Northern soul Patrol with some video clips. The debate was whether he was taking the piss or a fan - I think both.

if that was me i would have played (Not my total fav's but songs that would get people noticed on what Northern soul is)

1. Frank Wilson - Do I Love You

2. JJ Barnes - Our Love Is In The Pocket

3. Beverly Ann - You've Got Your Mind On Other Things

Beware of people who promote crap shoes! - No taste in shoes....no taste in music!!!

didn't johnny vaughn do time for serving-up gear?

i don't think that he's a positive role model for new people coming onto the scene!
