Soul Brothers Six "Thank You Baby" gets me on the floor everytime. Just suits my way of dancin' I suppose.

What I can't move to nowadays are the really fast 'uns ---

Butlers - She tried To Kiss Me

Jewels - We Got Togetherness

Still ok with the Gems "I'll Be There" though

CHUCK JACKSON- I ONLY GET THIS FEELING.

Barbara Christian - Not Like You Boy

I'll go with this one.

Oscar Perry - Face Reality

Aaalon Butler & New Breed - Got To Be Something

for me, it would have to be, Melba Moore, magic touch!

Unsatisfied - Lou Johnson

I always remember too late though & am too embarrassed to leave the floor!

judy freeman - hold on

although most of this is great to dance to and as much as i love this song an allways give it a go , it has some tricky bits in it .

Eddie Parker - Love you baby

Brilliant lyrics just to fast to dance to

for me, it would have to be, Melba Moore, magic touch!

Agree with you 100%, it's all over the place rhythm wise and my poor feet don't know what to do!

Got to be summer in the park - east coast connection. wow i'm knackered just thinking about it

James Coit - Black Power. Have i got 2 left feet springs to mind.

chris

Ted Wilson - i cant take no more

Lovettes - Little miss soul

Ted Wilson - i cant take no more

Lovettes - Little miss soul

Never danced to it , but I always considered that " Night Of The Wolf " - The Al Foster Band - would be a bitch ........

Malc Burton

Would have said - Seventh Wonder - Captain of my ship - was always impossible to dance to.Also Kelly Garrett - Loves the only answer

Edited March 16, 200916 yr by 22ndsoul

The Trip - Dave Mitchell & The Screamers

Zola - King Errison

Double Life - Jerry Fuller

MICKEY ROBERTS-AS THE WORLD TURNS-PULSE,

contact,the three degrees,

Chandlers - "You're love makes me lonley". It breaks into 3-4 waltz time towards the end, leaving yoiu stranded on the floor waiting for the guitar break before things get going again.....top tune though.

If were talking awkward rather than just fast then...

The Visitors - Lonely One Only Son

In your ears it sounds like a million dollar dancer but when you dance to it it's really difficult and i'm not sure why (and i can dance comfortably to The Nomads).

A crying shame cos it's an absolute stonking record.

Nothing compares with you - Velvet Satins

Coming to your rescue - the Triumphs

with you on that one, think I've gone to the bar, got a drink and come back before it kicks back in

pat powdrill though (Pete S)... that's danceable? I'll 'do it', even if I muck it up, It's one record I'll always be up for

What about records that could be classed as too slow to dance to....

E.g Jimmy Radcliffe

Ray Pollard

Gene McDanniels etc

Great music....but not dancers................or are they???

Good call

I must be on my way - flat lining tempo

think that 'Higher and Higher' and Superstition are miles

apart musically.....but great as well

yes i meant there is a definate 'square' kinda beat goin on in the both of them... sure there is a more technical term out there.. up across down across... ha... i know what i mean.. x

i allways thought, paris-sleepless nights was a nightmare[ or not ]

not heard it for years zola used to get me to work a sweat up mind you most tunes do nowdays

spike

Got to be summer in the park - east coast connection. wow i'm knackered just thinking about it

Same kinda tempo is 'Have Some Everybody' - Flaming Emerald - like doing a mini-marathon on the floor when that one used to drop...!!

Just thinking about dancing to sounds of that tempo nowadays makes my head start to steam........

Well past it........MRez

linda jones - my heart needs a break

COME ON LADS YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remeber it well, 1979 and Richard Searling was specialising in undanceable record.....Herbie Williams "The lover who loves you not"..time for a sharp exit from the dance floor.

quittin' time

Yeah, remember trying to dance to The Kansas City Playboys version at the 100 club over 20 years ago and abandoning the idea after about 30 seconds, Salvadors "Stick by me baby" is another bannana skin.

Kev

Salvadors hard to dance to??? Maybe now in me dotage but thats just an age thing & f**k all to do with the tune at all. At the Torch people got killed in the stampede to get on the floor when the first bars cut the place up. Mind you a visit to the medicine cupboard beforehand made most things possible...
