If this has been done before I apologise as I did do a search before posting this..

As our scene has crossed paths with many different music genres from r&b, Latin soul, beach music etc..

How much of it has come from the Garage scene?

I know we had the seeds pushing too hard and gypsy drywell, innkeepers never should have done it..

Forest fire on main street, covered as lord Sitar and the Baltimore marching band..

I know Keb used to slip one or two in but my memory isn't what it was 🥲

So would appreciate any help

There are loads more than people realise.

There has been a thread on here about this before, several years ago and a lot of tunes came out of the woodwork.

Obviously a couple of biggies are 'The Seven Dwarfs'and 'The Deadbeats'.

That Little Jr. Jesse is a great tune! Also The Alpacas.

King Edwards & His B.D's track was also done by The Swingin' Medallions but that's LP only.

line and track

No second chance

Without getting into the 'Blue-eyed Soul' sounds rather than Garage per se I guess this falls into the Garage/Soul category. Played at niters? Not sure, it's acetate only...

Does garage mean guitar based songs or simply blued eyed soul?

Inmates-this is the day-kopit

Virgil Murrays tommows yesterdays I still Care on Kool Kat

maybe crossover blue eyed/garage

Bobby Simms "Big Mama" WMRC

My understanding of "Garage" from the U.S. perspective is no horns, but guitar driven - Some of the tunes mentioned are groups trying to emulate the Soul sound of the time?

Soulful stomping garage at its best

Really hard to find imho

I know it’s had plays here and there but

Should be massive

It’s brilliant

I always loved this soulful garage stomper

Great vocal and ridiculous Hammond

Not an easy record to find

Dunno it it has ever been played on soul scene , it will of on the Mod scene I image

Bit A Sweet was a HUGE spin on the Mod scene in the early 2k's. Infact I'd class it as freakbeat and not garage or even northern.

I sort of agree, alot of the suggestions to me are blue eyed soul , what I would call Carolina Soul almost beach music.

But I'm not being ungrateful for the suggestions but I personally ( my own interpretations ) was trying to get across is garage music almost with a touch of rock music ( yes guitars) which is why I quoted The Seeds and The Innkeepers. And sounds like this that Keb often plays.

I know The Nomads, Vondells, Embers etc are blue eyed/carolina soul in my eyes not garage .

I trust I haven't upset anyone in this woke society with my personal views

I got my copy from a car boot years ago. I played the other side first 'Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind' and immediately thought Garage/Freakbeat. However I have to say, soon as I played the other side 'Is It On Is It Off' I immediately thought Garage / Northern. Just my observation.

The Blues inc record "Cant live without you" on United Audio is a known Garage Rock record, not sure if its ever been played out or not. , Also come across this, probably the same band but not certain, and defo more garagey (if thats a word)

Vondells.... I still laugh at myself for giving you a discount when you bought at the Carlton Club

The ultimate oxymoron.

Garage Soul. Most of which is soulful in people’s heads only.

Nuff said.

I don't think this has come from the Garage Scene. UK and US Soulful House and Garage evolved approx early 90s. My partner was a DJ and played this music at Allnighters in West Yorkshire. I also played a few times.

None of the records on here are Garage tunes.

The backbeat is not Garage either.

There were 'garage' scenes in the 60s and 70s way before the name was nicked for the 90's genre.

Thank you, I completely forgot about that! Sorry! I was just thinking about the 90s. I was never keen on 60s 70s Garage music. Being a Mod I was strictly into Motown, RnB Soul and Mod groups 😊

Missed some information out

From the 'Top 500'. 'Nobody But Me'- The Human Beinz. I have had a copy for over 50 years and I've heard it played out in some otherwise great places (can't comment on 'niters' re this though) but I can't take it seriously in a Northern Soul set. For me, it cheapens things and is just plain wrong- but each to their own.

Jeff Lemlich documented the Florida scene in a book also containing details of Florida soul music.
