I prefer sixties northern to anything in truth. Looking through my collection and I got to wondering what was a fail safe half hour sixties spot that would be a fair balance to keep the dancers on the floor.
I've got a reasonable collection, but don't have everything, not by a damn sight. A half hour spot, let's say ten singles. (Stipulate original labels from your own collection).
It may not be the ultimate but here goes - are they 'fail-safe' or not?
Showmen - take it baby (SWAN)
Rivingtons - I love you always (Vee-Jay)
Spyder Turner - I can't make it anymore (MGM)
Betty Everett - Getting mighty crowded (FONTANA)
The Trends - Not too old to cry (ABC)
Jackie Wilson - Just be sincere (BRUNSWICK)
Lou Johnson - Unsatisfied (BIGTOP)
Jimmy Robins - I can't please you (JERHART)
Robert Parker - I caught you in a lie (NOLA)
The Dells - Make sure (CADET)
Too many oldies? Not enough biggies? I do have more newies and biggies. But I think for a half hour spot, with that set - I'd feel reasonably safe that the dance floor would remain adequately full - as they are all good solid dancers.
Would there be folk that would disagree? Or maybe you have a superior collection and could deliver the ultimate 60's 1/2hr spot? Ten guaranteed sixties dancers Remember feel good dancers = a packed floor ...
