Just putting together a 'Blue-eyed Soul' compilation CD and was wondering whether I could include these Northern classics? I'm guessing they are white artists?

Ronnie & Robyn 

Cobblestone?

Ben Zine?

Paula Durante?

The Jades (I'm Where It's At)?

Wombat?

Living Color / Mystery ? Men (Thank The Lord For Love)?

Dawn (Love Is A Magic Word) or the other Dawn (I Believe They're All Talking About Me)?

William Bonny?

A Northern stomper by a NFL footballer who was dating someone who also had a Northern stomper, Joey Heatherton!

(B side is a version of Kenny Chandler's 'Beyond Love').

Rentzel and Joey were married. The song title is almost funny considering he exposed himself to a couple young girls, costing him his marriage but not his football career (although he was traded to another team)

The Chris Montez version of "Call Me" was a huge hit in the US, 1966. I assume that Eddie Bishop was done in response. 

sorry if posted already can't keep up but this is a good'un, not rare but doesn't need to be to fill a floor (on London/Decca)

 

This track ticks all the boxes..

Ed

can't track a copy of this anywhere, even the cd is rare

 

Ah Ha...........the girls!!

 

Ed

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Pet Clark did a version of Call Me....after all, it was written by her manager, Tony Hatch.

Best,

Mark

Gail Wynters a/k/a Bunny Shivel.

Best,

Mark

Apologies if I have missed this and it has been posted.

I knew he was a Latino, all the artists on 'Optimum' are (Royal Jesters are one group), also most on the 'Linda' label too. 

...and this one that reminds me so much of Main Change - 'Sunshine Is Her Way'...

ok this topic has been going a few months now

am thinking its' now at the point where it may be better for both readers and posters if we move onto more specific music topic

there's so many genes being posted here that it is getting a bit clumsy plus repeats seem to be on the increase

Rather than such a large catch all designation 

it may work better if use topics that narrow things down a touch

eg the use of the tems popcorn, garage, uk  pop, garage etc etc rather than the wide 'blue eyed' category 

So  passing on with the above in mind that I am looking at closing this topic come monday

improve wording

Pure bubblegum pop , the Archie's , SUGAR SUGAR, one that l have always liked.👍🎶

Some pop and "soft - rock" tunes I found "soulful"

- Doobie Brothers - "What a Fool Believe"

- Bobby Caldwell - "What You Wan't Do For Love"

- Michel McDonald - "Sweet Freedom"

- Kenny Loggins - "This Is It"

- Steve Winwood - "Night Train"

- F. R. David - "Words"

- Toto - "Africa"

- Chicago - "If You Leave Me Now"

Toto Africa, Chicago If you leave me now? ..................I also think the thread has lost its way, and agree its run its course.

One man's soul etc

Ed

BROAD CHURCH  INDEED,  BUT this is now ridiculous .      even the good times are bad , the tremeloes   , Not a bad little tune 👅🎶

Yes I agree Mike, as tomangoes said, it's run it's course.

Been good though 

 

a thread on the Belgian Popcorn scene would be interesting, it has crossovers to Northern but also quite different stuff

anyway agree with consensus

Also agree with Mike on this one. Just to many post to read them all so repeats are getting more and more.

 

In fairness to Josep, there's also potential for a thread on "West coast"/"Yacht rock"/AOR that crosses over into the various soul scenes. But this thread's original focus on blue-eyed *northern* soul would seem to have run its course.

For anyone interested, Richard Searling played an hour of the northern stuff yesterday:

Having said that, Judy Freeman and Blackrock's "Hold on" hasn't been posted so far:

ok now closed, thanks to all who contributed 

If anything, it showed the definition of (Northern) Soul, is as unpredictable as ever...
