After reading a thread on here the term "fairground soul " was mentioned

so anyone like to add tunes to a list of farirground soul that reminds them of the fairground

I will start by adding

Wherever I lay my hat / Marvin Gaye

Be my baby / The Ronettes

Homely girl /The chi-lites

OOO runaway ..loved that tune ..have it on vinyl somewhere

and who sang that tune listen to "the rythmn of the rain"

lyrics go

"listen to the rythmn of the pourin rain tellin me just what fool Ive been"

and what becomes of the broken hearted / jimmy ruffin

I bought the big wheels of motown LP that had some class tunes on it

Mand

Rythmn was The Cascades from 62/63..........too slow for the waltzers

Brenton Wood - Gimme Little Sign

Trampps - Hold Back The Night

Brothers Johnson - Stomp

LAST RIDE , LAST RIDE , SCREAM IF YA WANNA GO FASTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Topic! Not soul records but I remember from our local fair (Hurst Green; Black Country / Bham border) Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer - Nat King Cole + Paper Sun - Traffic. What a contrast...but striding out in "stiff as cardboard" Levis and a off white zip up wind Cheeter, what memories- Ade

Fairground Soul

Fook me, for a minute I thought we might all have another room to go to alongside the Northern, Motown, R&B, Modern rooms

it was 'mouldy old dough' and 'Johnny reggae' in banbury, and ironicly the fair was owned by a guy named Bob Wilson

I remember johnny reggae ..that was a tad blue ..guess thats why the lads liked it back then

Minit ...I just named the thread that because I saw the name coined in another thread

WEe havent invented another soul room

YET
