What was the one record that turned you onto the scene.mine was 'Man Without a Woman'. Michael And Raymond(RCA) this record changed me from a 'on the fence yeah i like northern soul' to a die hard fanatic. del x

Probably Frances Nero - Keep On Loving Me or the Volcanoes - Laws of Love. They were the two that I first obsessed about.

elgins, heavenmust have sent you,still dance everytime i hear it now. :yes:

Got into soul via the radio as a kid; got into northern when it was en vogue in the mid 70's when I heard some at my local disco....all very commercial stuff though like "A man like me", "I get the sweetest feeling", and "Heaven must have sent you".etc....I am sure a lot of people evolved into the northern thing.

Back in 1967 - heard there was a 'disco' on in town and so decided to go. Don't think I'd ever knowingly heard a soul record before then; expected the disco would be playing top ten pop stuff - that was what I wanted to hear, so off I went full of expectation.

Remember climbing the stairs and hearing the line - 'Soothe me baby, soothe me, soothe me with your kindness' quickly followed by 'How sweet it is' and 'Knock on wood' - what memories! I was hooked completely, and have never ever looked back.

In the early 70s I was into my sisters Tamla Motown records that she got during the 6os but when I went to a disco called Senators in Great Yarmouth... that was in 74... I saw some guys from up north dancing to Purple Haze by J Jones & the King Casuals..that did it for me......the following year I went to Wigan for the first time on Jon Buck's coach from Hemel Hempstead.....great days! :yes:

Yeah Brian, how good were those sounds!, Sam and Dave were hero worshipped by me back then, check out I Thank You from 67, their best IMO, then on to the Tamla thing, sometimes I think it was all just a dream but 40 years later here I am writing about it, incredible :yes:

The Q on Hound, at Clifton Hall , took me an age to pluck the courage to dance, i kept letting tracks pass me by, then on came James Lewis (cover/up name), and i was off, always remember there was a load of room to dance, the scene really was in its own personal nadir, when i joined the ranks.

:yes: Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I read that. I was in the Room at the top allnighter in Wigan when I first heard that record, and almost forty years later, I still regard it as one of the greatest ever made. I actually spoke to Sam and Dave when I was in San Francisco one year, they were staying in the same hotel. :yes:

Maxine Brown's 'Torture'... had heard lots of motown, soul and some bits which I now know are northern before but this was the first one that someone actually told me was 'northern soul'. Only ever heard it out once I think....

Dena Barnes 'if you ever walked' was my first love without a doubt. The next record to seriously blow me was was Jo-Ann Garrett 'whole new plan'.

I have my folks to thank basically, my late father had a very unique job in the early 60's he worked for The Beatles so music has always been in my life since the age of five or six, my parents loved all the popular Motown, Chartbusters LP's and my dad had picked up many Albums on his travels, Sam And Dave, Ray Charles etc.

I guess the first record that hooked me was Jnr Walker - Road Runner from mum and dads collection, the first Northern record i bought was Little Anthony and The Imperials - Better Use Your Head / Gonna Fix You Good British UA reissue and the Jumping At The Go Go RCA LP, thought i was the dogs danglers taking them into college and trying to tell my friends at the time that this was the best music in the world, it is!!!!!

I always remember walking into The Casino and hearing The Jades - I'm Where It's At, the atmosphere, the clapping, the energy it was incredible, i had arrived, i had found my special place to be, to belong, to be part of.........that was back in 1976 and im still as passionate about this weird and wonderful music and thanks mum and dad.

Guest mattmale

Mine were probably the typical youth club sounds of the late 70s, Lost Summer Love, Tainted Love, Out on the floor, Coloured man, Interplay, etc...

but the sound that was massive round our way and everyone danced to no matter what was Peggy March - If you loved me - RCA (i think)

Never heard it anywhere since 1979 - was it even northern i'm wondering now. Can't remember hearing it in the last years of Wigan. Anyone remember it? :thumbsup:

I could have written this post, I still can listen to Lorraine Silver now and be planted firmly at Croft (school) disco in '79 and as for Peggy March, when I listen to the outro I could still cry.

Do you feel you have acheived Soul Karma btw - can you talk openly about saying that the Silvers and March's of this world still appeal to you?

I love them and although still would die to own a Del Larks and a Deadbeats etc I think given a desert island option I would plump for the latter.

Admisson? I think not...peace - I think so.

Guest in town Mikey

Smokey & the Miracles - Tears of a clown, First stirred my interest.

First Northern record to get me was probably

Bobby Paris - I walked away Or Carl Douglas - Serving a Sentence.

At our local Youth club, the Dj initially only had 4 Northern songs, so we always got in 'our bit'

Interplay

Out on the floor

Inside, Outside, Upside down

Night Owl.

If we were really lucky, and a few of the girls had carried on dancing too, He'd stick on

God Knows.
