Just heard Candi Staton's "Young Hearts run Free", it felt like an old friend, no more than that, it felt like it was mine?

I then started to dip into my memory banks and my music falls into different storage bins but there is one storage bin in my mind that is crammed full of music that seamed to inspire me, or just fitted into my being during particular moments in time...........

Interplay - Derek and Ray races to the top, it warms me and takes me back to my school days listening to this on a cassette recorder on the playing fields of Beverley Longcroft.

Whats in your DNA?

Couple for me are,

Pointer sisters - Send him back

Brenda Holloway - When I'm gone

Mr Big -- Romeo nope, not bleedin norvern soul but this goy under my skin around about the same time Northernsoul did.

Slade - Merry XMAS everybody.

But if your talking NS

Tomangoes = IRLYB/WP

Now if I could shake the hand of the lead singer, it would be a privelage indeedy.

youth club stuff in the 70,s , mr penguin- lunar funk, jungle boogie- kool and gang, whos makin love-jonny taylor,mr big stuff-jean knight, sex machine- james brown, talking of james brown my dad had an lp on ember with a track by james brown on it called "lost someone", can always remember playing that track even well before i bought a record, is that track what caused me to spend years buying and buying

later on midish 70,s cashing in-voeh, jaws lalo schifrin (fcukin massive),...just got excited about the jazz funk thread,control tower, others over the years include, daybreak, zz and co, trickshot,

as ive got older , love billy stewart, roy hamilton, arthur alexander, bobby bland

my dna is still developing, at 48 years old i still get excited when i hear/get a track i want or like, i am like a kid with a new toy, it dosnt stop (hopefully), just played billys bag, first heard that record possibly 35 years ago, still want to play that record to other people who dont know it, and cant understand it when people dont become instantly excited by it,

Can i be pedantic...if its a 70's it would be Juke box as a duke box is a digital jukebox and were'nt invented in the 70's .......correct im being an asshole ...but hey its bank holiday friday ..n im in a silly mood

Geeooooooordie

I've only got to hear Billy Butlers The right Track and it takes me back to another time and place. I find myself clapping and singing as if I was a teenager again

cant describe it but its the feeling/behaviour that you get when you hear one of your favorite tracks that in my view makes it part of you, i.e. a couple of months ago i was out driving with a work mate whos not into soul, i put a cd that a mate had given me into the cd player, id not played this cd before, out of the speakers came the smith brothers, i was like a little kid, excited, singing, almost hyper active, id not thought about this track for years, yet it was like i,d heard it 2 seconds before, this was a record i never really remember from going out, i just remember it from my grapevine copy that i got from "somewhere" about 25 years ago, for the next month i played the track over and over again until it was relpaced by midnight sunshine a track that i first heard about six months ago, if this happens again i,ll get excited over midnight sunshine in 2033, ill be 72 and i,ll still remember the smith bros, it wont go away
