WHATS THE 1st RECORD YOU WANT TO DANCE TO AFTER LOCKDOWN

[Imperial C]

Hitting the dancefloor like corks coming out of a bottle, but what is that 1st tune you look forward to dancing to when you are confronted with a real life dancefloor again? It may be a way off yet, but time for some fun, Northern, Motown, Disco, Modern, Funk, Jazz Funk, Philly, nothing is out of bounds, if its soul its good, Time to let rip, if it moves you -  post it. Here's mine

As we've been in lockdown so long I think for many this will be appropriate. KIM TOLLIVER I DON'T KNOW WHICH FOOT TO DANCE ON. Seriously  anything uptempo from Detroit 

[Stephen Houghton]

Brothers guiding light, getting together. A bit of class. 

Maybe it could start a extra genre of tunes, the djs could play instead of the usual ones 

 

[Imperial C]

Nice one Stephen lets hear it

 

[Zoomsoulblue]

[Monny1916]

TURLEY RICHARDS ,, and the same tempo all night long ,, Stephen 

[Vadnochka]

SERVICEMEN 

CONNIE - 3rd oldest of my 7 granddaughters - just always glass half full through the lock down

And what a sound

So, obviously not an OVO night

[Jaco]

On the “modern” side -

Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway - “Back together again”

That would work for me.

[Span]

You can't beat a bit of Motown to get back into a groove

Ain't too proud to beg - four tops will do for me

Neal. 

[Leicester Boy]

Temptations forever in my heart. 

[Kevinkent]

Four Tops...Baby I Need Your Loving.  And I request that it be the FIRST tune played at the 100 Club to mark the end, not of the night but of lockdown. How nice it would be to take someone in your arms and dance to this. Or even just to have everyone clap along and get as emotional as they normally do when it's the last tune and end of the niter.

Nice one Pete - keeping with the Disco theme (and why not BTW)

I for one would love a disco allnighter - feelgood time

Nice choice but I never have and never will regard this as a 'disco' tune. Nice soul tune, not Northern, not Disco.

Saw them perform it live at the Tin Hat in Kettering many years ago.

I bought that on import from a batch of records that came over from the States around 1975/76 never played it out until the early 90's, at Tony's Empress Blackburn if I remember correctly.

[Greedy Mick]

Quite disappointed that no one has said 

Muriel Day

Al Wilson 

Frank Wilson 

[Eddiefoster]

This would deffo do it for me

 

[Imperial C]

Seems disco is on the menu, love it, if it moves funk it, definately moves me

 

[Soulman58]

The 17yr old me would go for 

 

 

[Soulman58]

The jazz/funk  me would go for

 

[Soulman58]

Given my 62yr old body I might just shuffle to this instead

 

 

[Martin L]

Dancing music Love it

This Lou Pride Northern Soul Classic Stomper would get me up to get rid of the cobwebs, I will give the acrobatic moves a miss though on the drum break as I doubt I'd get up again!  

[Happy Feet]

Although Lou Pride is up there as possibly one of the all-time classics maybe something more subtle, The Brothers Are You Ready For This, or maybe Flame "N" King & The Bold Ones Ho Happy Day 

[Eddiefoster]

I'd settle for the track that was the turning point in my appreciation of music and set me on this path (hairs on neck time)

 

[Happy Feet]

Come to think about it the one that started my northern soul journey all them years ago Archie Bell Here I Go Again maybe

Most definately disco in its day but we are too busy dancing to care on this thread, Time for some Rock N Roll.

 

[Soulman58]

Some pure funk prior to D I S C O!

[The Tempest]

It’s what it’s all about !!!

[Flamingemeralds]

Absolutely anything would do me right now!

But for me, I can't help thinking one of the old anthems ringing out across a ginormous, cavernous ceiling would make me think "I'm back!!!!! It's finally over!! We're here, we got through it. Prayers for those we lost, and thanks for keeping me and my loved ones safe.  It's going to be bigger and better than before.  We made it, we're back and I'll never take it for granted again! Life is precious and this is precious and I'm here to dance another day.  Bring it on.....once again, Frank Wilson!".   

To hear the echoing chimes of the intro do  Do I Love You ringing out would probably reduce me to tears.
