Here is a little self indulgence on my part, sorry in advance but this is one of the Northernsoul newies that heralded the second wave of Soulies who took a very tired and battered soul scene to the next level after the divvies deserted the scene on the Casino close. Here we have Luther Vandross, rest in peace, giving it large and flopping in the charts at the time only to be championed at the nighters around The UK with one of his many superb soul tracks. This and "I wanted your love" became deeply embedded into a the Northern scene, I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

Well that didn't work did it, sorry abot that I was trying to paste a youtube clip in?

I'll get me coat

The voice

i used to have loads of his albums until one day back in 1992 my dog Arnie decided he wanted to eat them all and i was left with a load of vynil with loads of teeth marks in and it broke my heart, i never replaced the vynil but i bought a few of the cds instead,

my favourite artist of all time, any love is one of me faves

listen to this without feeling emotional than man was singing from his heart

Great artist , "Jealousy " is a good dancer from his Cotillion work

I first heard him played at Bensons in Bradford 1982 or possibly 1983?

There are to my knowledge three Luther tracks that have been played and accepted on the Northernsoul Scene:

I wanted your love

All my love

Don't Wanna Be A Fool

At Benson's there was a Newies/modern room where the spins like

Bobby Womack - So many sides of you

"Taxi' by J. Blackfoot but I think the flip side "Where is love" was the player? Can any one help me with this??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uFUjw1N-5Q this is Taxi, hope it works if you click on it?

Alfi Davidson's - love is serious business was just beginning to be played out, remember it was a very ultra cool mega underground scene and one that I think had evolved into a very different creature than The Casino... thoughts?

Ronnie Dyson - lady in red was the big floor crusher for me! And of course Benny troy I want to give you tomorrow.

Well happy memories for me, I suppose this was my Wigan casino? You couldn't see any daft Spencer bags (not knocking them) and I think the punter was a little more "Street" .... Thoughts again?

I have just booked my tickets to Blackpool northernsoul weekender, any one going?

Don't wanna be your fool one of my all time fave 70's tracks!!!!

Ronnie Dyson - lady in red was the big floor crusher for me! And of course Benny troy I want to give you tomorrow.

Lady In Red is a blinding Tune....joihnny gills cant wait till tomorrow was a huge north east play in the early 80's northern all nighters, in fact Sean Gibbons (any one remember him) played a fair bit of New 80's stuff it was great to hear.

In Fact there were loads of commercial quality soul played at nighters at that time but seemed to go over many peoples heads as some of those sounds are being ressurected now and people i went to niters with back then cant remember them being played.

Geeooooordie

Add " Never Too Much" to that list.

Alfie Davison was played a bit earlier than that Simon. Arthur Fenn played it at the Masborough all nighter which preceded Clifton Hall. Bit of an oldie by 83. Probably that Hampsey bloke had found an old playlist of mine.

When i was about 17/18 i serenaded a 35 year old bird with this, worked a treat did a lot of growing up that night.

I owe the big fella a good drink when i get there.

Kinell! Just had a flash back to the day! We where all cool as fook! The music was brilliant and a zillion light years from Casino Classics, I am not too hot on the Modern front, well hard to keep up but I do still get electricity through my feet every now and again from our wonderful scene.

Never thought I'd be nostalgic about newies played at Bensons but then again we are all getting a little old.

Bensons for me was the first time I'd seen the dressers wearing trainers and sports casuals with expensive labels!

I think "Footloose" was on at the cinemas at the time and commercial music took a turn for the worse with no dance music of any worth getting on TV. Soulies where still associated with baggy trousers and tank tops but we where secret agents who disappeared into the cold dark nights searching for some thing more than half a larger and Agadoo.

If any one has Searching by Change could they please send me it xxx in advance.

Really funny that Steve.

I had Alfie Davidson waaaaayyyyy before Masborough... and I think around the time you were still trying to track down a copy of "Cochise!".

Good shout on "Never Too Much" though mate.

Was a MONSTER at Clifton Hall for Richard...

...and other Clifton Hall DJ's with taste!

T'was a Wigan sound.

Yes it was Steve.

But me and Mr Mannion always refer to 'legendary Soul venues' that are east of the pennines!
