The Staple Singers Trippin on your love Slooooooooooooooooooow intro but the pace picks up to a finger snappin groove so I'm not sure if this qualifies as heart stopping speed?

Now talking about intros that allow you to stick the kettle on, Terry Callier "I don't wanna see my self" allows you to cook a complete Sunday fookin roast before the dance floor explodes! So sadly this don't qualify either!

Soul Bros Inc is uptempo compared to

Buddy Smith - When you lose the one you love

and

Maxine Brown - Put yourself in my place

You can't get much slower than "I've Had It" by George Smith........................

Gil Bernal - Can You Love A Poor Boy

Walter Jackson - Uphill Climb To The Bottom

Kenny Shepherd - What Difference Does It Make

Love all 3 of those, and the first one more so because I've only met one person who likes it.

Jamie :unsure:

loads of great slowies out there, slow to mid tempo stuff always my favourite.

used to love dancing to That Other Place by Wade Flemons all those years ago.

as matt says, Pyramid is not that slow once it gets going.

You can sit on the fence if you like, Steve :yes:

BTW, I have just developed a rare condition known as 'selective vision' and I'm unable to read the 2nd part of your post. Though knowing you as I do, I reckon it's bravado based on your recently acquired feeling of 'safety' in the Premiership. I'm sure it's hilairious none the less. sleep3.gif

Leeds on the 17th?

Jamie :sleep3:

There have been shed loads of soulful steppers played on the northern scene, just needs to be the right place and a crowd that's up for it, eg

Almeta Lattimore-These memories

Epicenter feat Sandra Feva-Don't come round here no more

Anyone know James Kirk - You better come home - Guyden? It's so slow i'm not sure if it's dancable. Cant do a soundfile sorry.

Does anyone ever play this out?

They used to end the nights at Placemate 7 in Manchester with an old Twisted Wheel 'fave' from the Impressions.

The name escapes me as usual. Maybe Dan could refresh it.

Slow as a dirge, but oh so soulful.

Trends - Not Too Old To Cry on ABC

Jerry Fuller - I Get Carried Away on Challenge

Willie Wade - When Push Comes To Shove on Nite Life

I'm sure there are lots!

Rich

THE STAR-TELLS - I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU GIRL

THE MOOVERS - ONE LITTLE DANCE

Great , smooth , and soulful

Romance Watson -Where does that leave me .

=====

used to leave me cold this one when they played this at stafford

prefer northern soul meself! :(

Freddie Scott - Girl i love you

Incredible vocal on this, dunno how he manages to hold a note that long!

Simon

johnny gilliam-room full of tears-cancer, slow but full of soul

On saturday I thinned out the dancefloor pretty quickly with Kenny Lynch's Movin' Away....... :tomato2: .......way too slow for the busy feet of Southampon's finest! :(

This was the ender at Walls Of Heartache last month, quite a few of us were gliding aroung to it, nice record.

I love the Buddy Smith When You Lose The One You Love, played at Luton and TOS. Also Bobby Bennett's Alone With My Tears, great track. Personally like the Gil Bernal version of Poor Boy.

However none of these are dead slow, you can still shuffle around to them.

In my dim and distant youth slow soul records were played in clubs, almost deep soul, but you would get into a clinch with your girlfriend, maybe rock back and forth. Two that spring to mind are You'll Want Me Back by the Impressions and Such Is Love Such Is Life by the Miracles.

It seems that dancing with a girl is rather frowned on nowadays.

But if they were genuinely "the finest" surely they'd be able to dance to any tempo? :wicked:

Three that you don't hear out much these days:

Brooks 0' Dell "You'd Better Make up Your Mind"

Walter Jackson "After You"

Roy C "Gone, Gone"
