Has to be Little Anthony & The imperials - Better Use Your Head, played at the local community Centre Disco's, where the Northern lads had a mono record player and a wee room to thereselves. then there was the first time i went to a proper soul night ( before the community centre) in Clouds, Edinburgh, where the upstairs room was northern soul and i saw it at first hand both the music and the dancing and just sat there and watched in amazement, didnt know any of the music but loved all that i heard and i'm pretty sure the one that stuck out in my head that night was Judy Street - What.
By the way, if anyone's ever seen the T.V. program - Looking After Jo Jo ( Robert Carlyle) The place where he lived was where my community centre was where i learned my northern moves.
