Ian Parker Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 The Right Track is a good call. very much an evergreen that damned near most of us grew up on.
Professorturnups Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 The Right Track is a good call. very much an evergreen that damned near most of us grew up on. ..but time to bury it in a time capsule and dig it up in 2039 (at the earliest) Mark C
Guest isis Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Del Larks.... PS why is everyone shouting, I'm scared
Soulsmurf Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Can't accept any lists,or any dicussion or any soul politics,just give us all what one record is representative of Northern soul.The perfect representative for me would be Lorraine Chandle-l Can't Hold On Couldn't agree with your choice more, awsome sound
wolfie66 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 For me it's the Tomangos "I really love you", Willie Hutch "Can't fight the power" and The Apollas "Mr Creator" - all got me into this beautiful scene (man )
macca Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I think Brice Coefield 'Ain't That Right' on Omen is one that's pretty much up there. It's not just the sound, the label is extremely pervy too...

Grant
Guest bully7 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 ..but time to bury it in a time capsule and dig it up in 2039 (at the earliest) Mark C no it isn't, a classic that stills fills the dance floor where i go and one of my favourites too (ns snobbery)
Harry Crosby Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Got to echo others here, EDDIE PARKER-I`M GONE, still makes me SHIVER those opening few bars, top class
Chalky Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 tough to choose one as there are so many....Mello Souls, Diane Lewis - You Ain't Got A Chance, Fidels -Try A Little Harder, Invitations - What's Wrong With Me Baby, Tommy Ridgely - My Love Gets Stronger (not everyone's cuppa but my all time fave), Tommy And The Derbys - Don't Play The Role....
Ian Parker Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Del Larks.... Oh yes, now you're talking. an absolute favourite...... and that intro !!!!
Guest Mrs Simsy Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Judy Street-What. That might be because it's normally featured on 'soul type documentaries'!
Jumpinjoan Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Diane Lewis - You Ain't Got A Chance Was playing this in the car yesterday. Wouldn't be my 'epitome of northern', but it certainly is a top tune Any chance you can tell that Butch fella to play it on Saturday, or else he's sacked?
Quinvy Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Diane Lewis - You Ain't Got A Chance Was playing this in the car yesterday. Wouldn't be my 'epitome of northern', but it certainly is a top tune Any chance you can tell that Butch fella to play it on Saturday, or else he's sacked? He never has it with him these days Joan. I'm always asking him to play it.....
Jumpinjoan Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 He never has it with him these days Joan. I'm always asking him to play it..... Yet he can play Johnny bloody Howard? Sack him I say

I haven't heard him play it God knows how many years Chalky, but it is the one I wish he would play everytime I hear him do a spot. Awesome tune!!
Guest Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Frank Wilson - Do i love you The " Epitomy of Northern Soul " ? possibly Roy Hamilton - " Crackin' Up Over You " Pete S is likely to nominate The Carstairs ........ Malc Burton Edited June 26, 2009 by Malc Burton
Pete S Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 JIMMY RAYE - PHILLY DOG AROUND THE WORLD That's what I would have said if I had been contributing to this thread.
grant Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 That's what I would have said if I had been contributing to this thread. great minds Pete
Stubbsy Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 ..and I thought I needed to get out more !! Probably The Salvadors Mark C +1

Guest Dave Turner Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) If I can only name just one then --- Major Lance - You Don't Want Me No More https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1dDn_yZHTM STORMER Edited June 26, 2009 by Dave Turner

Guest Dave Turner Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Did post Major Lance but changed my mind. Best Northern Soul sounding northern soul track for me --- Tomangoes Edited June 26, 2009 by Dave Turner
Guest proudlove Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Bang,bang,crash,wallop!....Northern Soul at it's very best!! Great example!! SECONDED
Guest Dave Turner Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 SECONDED More I sit here and thin the more I keep changing me flippin' mind. Both Johnny Wyatt and Alexander Patton gotta be up there surely, f--k its so hard to decide.
Guest Brett F Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I'm thinking real hard, the genre seems to have changed like a river with all it's sways and torrents..................but i'll name one off the top of my head........Rubin on Kapp, never had this record but i still think it's brilliant. one i have got is probably the "Q".on Hound............... By the way Pete S..i'm not a part of this thread it's just a mirage..........
Guest posstot Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 OOh OOh....Ain't nobody mentioned Little Anthony and the Imperials Better use your head..... That has to Rank up there in the top Ten Somewhere......ooh ooh and not forgetting the Sapphires Gotta have your love OOh ooh and not forgetting Jackie Day Naughty boy ( ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh YYYeeeSSSSS!! ). Lastly, a record that got release over here in the 80's on an album, from a master tape...and for me i think tops the list... Roscoe Shelton You're the dream NOW THAT'S A """"""""NORTHERN """""""tune.
Suzannek Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Will always be "In Orbit" for me. QoFxx I agree Chrissie. It doesn't matter how many times I hear it, 5 billion times I still love it. Suz x
Sheldonsoul Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 3 for me frank beverly because of my heart morris chestnut to darn soulful johnny hampton not my girl

Roscoe Shelton You're the dream NOW THAT'S A """"""""NORTHERN """""""tune. Hi, not picking on your selection of tracks just kinda demonstrating how folks have different taste and what to one is great isn't so great to another. Of the 4 artists you mention personally I'd pick ----- I wouldn't have picked any Little Anthony as a classic example of a Northern Soul sound but that's me. Sapphires - The Slow Fizz Jackie Day - Before It's Too Late Roscoe Shelton - Running For My Life ------------------- Now that's a Northern tune Just shows how diverse the range of personal taste is out there and I suppose we all come at it with different likes and dislikes, feelings, memories etc etc. Not saying your tracks are worse or mine are better just depends on the listeners ear.
paup-ine Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Roscoe Shelton You're the dream NOW THAT'S A """"""""NORTHERN """""""tune. Love that P
