We went to Blackpool Mecca soul nighter's - I loved it too .
Just loving you , house for sale , heaven in the afternoon , party time man , 9 times , year of decision

My mate Janet loved chasing all the bad boys - I couldn't stand them (I always got the gentlemen)
Being deaf - I felt the tempo beat and rythmn easily .
Could lip read all the hollering around me far more easier than the rest of them !
Used to dance my little heart out and legs till they near dropped off .
Met some real characters too . (handed a few over to my mate Janet!)

Roxy music - Slave to Love is well groovy !
Who remembers Soley soley ?

Frank Wilsons' 'Do I Love You(Indeed I Do)' is a great up tempo that is always a favourite on compilations.

'Tainted Love' by Gloria Jones (?) is the one your on about not the eighties cover by Soft Cell(?) that's off the top of my head!

Nothing wrong with the top of your head Nosher, Soft Cell is right.

Well, I didn't actually buy it, but my brothers bought a Dansette and Mum bought Joe Brown Picture of You, Kitty Lester Love Letters and Pat Boone Speedy Gonzalez..

First LP I bought was Are You Experienced Jimi Hendrix from Sound of Music in Market Parade in Havant.

My kids had a night out there and have threatened to take me as well as going to motown soul nights in Liverpool.
Don't think my legs could take the toe tapping now.
So many great bands and singers!

Anyone seen or heard drizzabone soul family? Modern soul and doing the clubs for a while now, have a listen, there good.

I want to mention bands like Junior Walker, Harold Melville, Geno Washington, SOS band, Archie Bell, Bar Kays and Curtis Mayfield. These bands often only club bands don't get the recognition they deserve for promoting Northern Soul.

The best funk band has to be Earth, Wind & Fire. Unbelievable show!

 

[chris lowe]

I'm listening to David Ruffin this minute!

Yes proper into Northern soul!

Smokey Robinson favourite singer.

Originals favourite group.

Temptations, four tops, tavares, chairman of the board, stylistics, manhattans, heatwave, Detroit emeralds, Detroit spinners, emotions, I have over 5000 tracks from about 300+ Artists R&B, soul, blues.
Edwin Starr is another real motown northern soul artist who moved to the UK from the states because of the club scene here.

Motown, the Philly sound and other record labels likes stax, were pumping out some really great sounds in the sixties and seventies.
There is a thriving music scene out there. And I do miss it!
My way of relaxing g is to play my sounds and read or forum!
Have the Isley Brothers on now.
They led the revolution to modern rap and R&B!

Have you seen the recent Northern Soul film? It was in the cinema and released on DVD at the same time

 

[chris lowe]

'Something In The Air' has always been a huge favourite for me and always on my playlist!

I really like the honky tonk piano bit in the middle

 

[Robinredbreast]

Oh yeah Baby.......................................

[chris lowe]

It probably was one by Charlie Drake:

Not My Boomerang Wont Come back ???

 

[Robinredbreast]
