SOUL MUSIC is patient ,

SOUL MUSIC is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast,

it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.

It is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs.

SOUL MUSIC does not delight in evil,

but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres.

SOUL MUSIC never fails.

DEEP IT IS

Perfect soul is rare indeed -

for to be a lover will require

that you continually have

the subtlety of the very wise,

the flexibility of the child,

the sensitivity of the artist,

the understanding of the philosopher,

the acceptance of the saint,

the tolerance of the scholar and

the fortitude of the certain!

that's me sorted then!

you been down the Jazz Club again Moster?

"To dance with the sound of soul music as a direction is to be out of yourself. Floating across a dance floor is glory on earth and if you feel the soul then it is yours for the taking!"

I think thats why I prefer Northern Soul (although there is no factual or theoretical definition), thats not all that as described above.

Ton of Dynamite, Cause your mine, We got togetherness, The champion, and Manifesto are soulfull enough for me. Keep the faith.

Ed there is no better feeling than stepping onto a dance floor and losing yourself when dancing to up-tempo Northern Soul

"What is Soul" Well it is something I feel inside, And that is most noticeable when someone is dancing you can just see them loosing them self in a dream and they seam to be floating, like dancing a few inches above the floor,

quote taken from "THE LORD OF THE DANCE" VOL 1

I think you have made a very sentimental and truthful statement, (actually it's a Quote). These words are lovely and this is how every body who falls in love with soul music should feel...........................Then crash we come down to earth with a bang when somebody who is so insensitive to others feeling offeres up their very vocal opinion. It's no good trying to pretend these dont exist, cus they do and over time it can wear you down and in somecases hurt sensitive soulies. l dont think that most do it intentionally l just feel they dont think before they speak, then theres the small percent....Well, lm sure most who come on these forums would have to agree they know of at least 1 person who fits the bill... sorry dont mean to be a party pooper but it's what l experience and others like every weekend at venues, yet l wont let them beat me down, l'll come on here and hope to find other threads of a similar vein, what a welcome change to hear something positive once in awhile.Well done mate.

and to quote John Gary Williams " l believe that the whole damn world (of soul) is going crazy.

SO IF CANT BEAT EM THEN JOIN EM...

Corinthians. 13:4-13

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

And now faith, hope, and love abide, but the greatest of these is love.

i prefer the full vesion which includes:

Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love

In my minds eye, I am lost,

Within a world of fantasy of heartstopping pace.

Kindred souls All kinds- all creeds,

Searching with soul for an urgent need,

Pacing breathe at every break,

With bodies hot and dowsed with sweat,

our fulfilment is not yet met.

We remember times that have long since gone,

Sisters and brothers lost, we were related by song,

Our journey ahead is long and unclear,

but my soul remains free and wants to remain here.

In my minds eye I am not lost or alone

Forever with soul, my heart and my home.

As a dancer I love the feeling I get from dancing ...and not just to N/S

My dad taught me to jive when I was a kid ( he was a teddy boy and big Elvis fan)

When I was small ( yeah yeah I know Ive not grown much!!)he used to throw me through his legs over his shoulder around his waist and I remember the feeling vivdly the rock and roll playing in the background strange thing is I don't remember much about where we danced who else was there just the dancing

It pains me to say I didnt have much time for socialising when I used to go to dayers/nighters I was on the dancefloor lost in the music and there are very few who remember me

It literally takes you to another dimension a stress reliever and gives a natural high and freedom of expresion

I never got dance lessons when i was a kid so when i got older I made up for it by dancing at the youth club learned all the daft dances you did back then night fever/ bay city roller/grease/then along came N/S

and a different free style all of your own

Wish i could describe the way it feels in my heart when I m dancing but Im sure you all know wht I mean

Mand (soulful)

I know what you mean Mand.

as Freddie Chavez sang (about his love of Northern Soul - Yes really.............)

'They'll never know why I love you, but the sad part about it is ......... neither will I.'

You cant define everything with 'gentle words' and as one of those 'minority' types described previously, IMO, if you cant feel it, you dont get it.

As an example, Linda Jones, Just cant live my life: You cant just listen to that song, or sing along, or dance to it, it has to be all three, or you are missing out big time.

Keep the faith.
