No your not!! it's the sublliminal messages again trying to take you to the other side

There are loads of covers - Yazz 'The Only Way Is Up'; Kylie 'Time Will Pass You By' (I think it was this one); 4 Vandals 'Wrong Side Of Town' - oh, hang on, that's real isn't it

I picked up Elvis Costello's version of 'Getting Mighty Crowded' out of curiosity. It's alright, sounds like Elvis Costello basically!

Stop sign - Abs (? or something)

I think my first post was about, Summertime Special in the late 70s.

I was a 14 year old, just begining to learn about Northern Soul. We had some aunties and uncles visiting, and the TV was on. On come the Rolly Pollys, and proceed to launch into a 'wacky' version of the Sherries - Put your lovin' arms around me.

My mother's ears prick up, and she says to me:

"Isn't this one of your Northern Soul records? Go on, show your aunty how you dance"

Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love is pretty off the wall, but strangely compelling.

I have a feeling that Put Your Loving Arms Around Me is something of a standard isn't it? The Sherrys version was a cover of a pop hit? Could be wrong. Incidentally - what a great sax solo!

Picture the scene:

I'm 15 years old and have been three times to Wigan Casino. I'm trying to recover one Sunday evening, during which I've had to do the obligatory trip to Granny's house. I'm feeling pretty spaced to say the least and then all of a sudden I hear "Put Your Arms Around me" coming out of the telly - sung by a women wearing a long frilly dress and bonnet, holding an ornate parasol - it's "The Good Old Days"!!!!!!!

Talk about culture shock

It dates from 1910! Found this link which might be helpful

Put Your Arms Around Me

Trivia question: At exactly the same time the Sherrys was a big - 73? - there was another massive Wigan spin that dates from 1927 - at least that's when the song was written. Anyone care to name it? Title and artist....

Edited March 31, 200520 yr by Dayo

Also... heard last night in fact, the Kleptomaniacs (I think?) version of 'All I Do' (Stevie Wonder/ Tammi Terrell).

Remember it, did have it on 12" & I think I've got that on some complilation somewhere - theyre were some awesome house tunes in the late 80s & early 90's which at some point will get 2nd plays somewhere in the modern rooms of the future !

Aah, De Camptown Races .....................

Don't know how old you are but I bet your Gran listened to 'Sing Something Simple' on the radio on a Sunday tea time. All grans did

Then it was Pick of the Pops (Top Ten), and they all started moaning before they went to the pub for a Mackeson.

But then again, it might have been different out of Sheffield.

Yep Same in Oldham My Dad of course called it "Sing Something Sinfull". Mind you he also called Dusty Springfield "Springy Dustcart"

There were several occasions when I brought my latest prize home from an Allnighter only to have my Mum or Dad start singing along cos they knew another version. Maybe we should do a thread with Northern Soul songs that are covers of Standards.

Here's my first two:

My Heart cries for You - my Version - Porgy & Monarchs - Mum and Dad - Dinah Shaw.

To the Ends of the Earth - Tony Middleton / Nat King Cole

Any more? Feel free to start a new thread

That's another one! original by Miss Toni Fisher I believe - more of a 60s pop hit than show tune I think.

Dad was singing the Vicki Carr version and told me that Susan Farrar's was crap.

You should listen to your dad sometimes

Erm, looks like you were right then Steve

Wade in the water was a negro spiritual. Which must date it to the 19th century or before. You cant get much older than that.

You may be right Ric Tic - and thanks for reminding me of the cover up name. I don't think Wigan were too far behind on that particular sound and it had quite a short life before Pye issued it over here. Charming record - sounds all wrong today though - agree?
