Instumentals being classed as soul has never really sat with me very well, but as part of a dance or overall genre they can be great.

I've always loved Scrub-Board by the Trammps.

Not northern, but I don't think you can get better than Fred Wesley & The JB's - Blow You Head

It was certainly played there Grant. By Gary Spencer if my memory serves me correctly?

Then again I could be wrong. Chalky will remember I'm sure.

Love instrumentals and will always play one or two when DJing (any more than that can get stale). Many favourites over the years but two that I'm currently playing are:

Matta Baby - Do The Pearl Girl

Subway Riders - After The Session

Are they as popular as they used to be? No.

I don't generally like to hear instrumental versions of a good vocal record - one that really springs to mind is the instrumental version of Mickey Lee Lane - He Sha Lo Ney.

I do like good instrumentals in their own right though & 2 of my favourites are-

Green Onions - Booker T & The MGs - been a favourite of mine for about 25 years & still gives me a tingle when I hear it

Detroit City Limits - 98 cents plus tax - pure, seemingly effortless, quality

Lost Time - Popcorn Wylie

Yeah You're Right............ - The Gaturs

Had a look through other replies did see this listed, I don't really go for instrumentals much, BUT

Harlem Rumble does it for me-Brilliant choon

also like the instrumental version of Genie (Terri Bryant) came out on a cd

How about these two...100% awesome:

'Detroit Rhythm Section' - I know something

'Frank Foster' - Going back to Detroit

PURE Northern Soul allnighter stormers!

The Frank Cooper I assume you mean Les Cooper Motor City? If so always had a soft spot for this, will put sound clip up if not already there.

I love instrumentals, so many great dancers' tunes amongst 'em. Great ones mentioned; few more;

South like West .. Johnny Guitar Watson, Fi Yi Dance.. Soulful Two, Johnny Mirage .. New love inst.( fantastic John Vincent play from the Fleet days.

Instru-MENTALS need to be back in vogue, not enough played thesedays IMO.
