"Happy Soul Birthday" by Robert Murphy (Bobby Wells) on Romur. It's not really Northern but it's got a nice lollop to it. Only lasts about a minute and a half, too.

Should be easy enough to pick up cheaply.

The Tune Weavers " Happy Happy Birthday Baby " U.S. Casa Grande # 4037 / U.S. Checker # 872 , both released in 1957 .

As you will gather with the year , the side is doo - wop .

buy a 45 of kool and the gang 'celebrate', play it at 33rpm, and cover it up as 'your special day' by Bobby Card and the Hallmarks. on Birthday records. going rate $600. then give them them the vinyl as the present, saying it took weeks to track it down.

"It's your birthday" by R Kelly.

Not Northern but soulfull and very girlie.

If it doesn't get you a promise then nothing will!!!!!!

Immediately thought of Robert Murphy on Romur (Mentioned earlier by Tone) but the MUST play 'Soul Birthday' tune has got to be "Just My Soul Responding" by Smokey Robinson which kicks off with the "Happy Birthday" song and melody before it glides into an ultra soulful mid ballad.

Not 'Northern' but a proper Birthday tune for a Soul lover.

Baby Washington has a happy birthday record on Chess, she's singing about how she's sad to not be with her man on his birthday. There is a birthday record by a group called "friends." There's also Stevie Wonder's big hit in the US in the 80s.

Here's the Robert Murphy one (A side - "Blues", it says)

It's underneath the last post of each thread and looks like this

This thread reminds me a couple of years ago when me & my girlfriend was celebrating our first year together.

One of my friends told the dj (Heikki H from Finland) and he played The Bitter & The Sweet - I Won't Have Any Babies For You for the happy couple!
