Good old tune go on go on go on lets have a listen

This one missed by 7 places but you must have a listen to this one

A class tune by anyone's standards and a good old Northern track to boot

Time for bed now Adios

You did say N.S. tunes Webby.whistling.gif

Solf Cell "Tainted Love"tongue.gif

Sorry I could not resist,laugh.gif

I have just seen it was top 20 and not just the charts, so some of those I already put up might not count.g.gif

According to the Top 500 book Rescue Me by Fontella Bass was played on the NS scene. And of course it was a top 20 record back at the end of 65, start of 66. A big club play back in the day.

Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes "The Love I Lost"

The Velvelettes "These Things Will Keep Me Loving You"

and didn't The Flirtations "Little Darling" dent the charts sometime in '72 or '73

JACKIE WILSON - I get the sweetest feeling

CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD - Everythings Tuesday

Fantastic tunes, could not believe I saw somebody on here say he couldn't listen to 'sweetest' the other day. NS perfection!thumbup.gif

If 'Tuesday' did not make the top 20, substitute with COB 'You got me dangling on a string'laugh.gif

I'm sure I was told it was Ringo Starr, but maybe not.

Ring Starr was the narator on the first few series

Grant

Cheers for that, I have not gone completely mad just yet.

I knew he had something to do with it.

Think these charted on release, before being played on the Northern Scene.

" Breaking Down The Walls Of Heartache " charted in 1968 , and was played on the UK club scene , well before the advent of the NS . As for " Give Me Just A Little More Time " , it charted in 1970 , but I cannot recall if it was played on the club scene .

Hi Brian - and thanks .....

Following my posting that I could not recall if " GMJALMT " had been played on the scene , I was sure that I had heard it somewhere , but did not know where : possibly it could have been at The Wheel .

Time to put the cat amongst the pigeons and add..Money,money-Tommy James and The Shondells & Groovin' With Mr.Bloe-Mr. Bloe ,... 1 and 4 to be accurate.. :thumbsup:

A contradiction to your original post heading - " Northern Soul Tunes That Made The Pop Top 20 " - if there ever was one .

I never heard " Mony Mony " played at a venue on the scene at the time of its' release - at least not at least the ones I frequented - or have frequented since ........

Love on a mountain top - Robert Knight

At the top of the stairs - The Formations (not sure if this actually made the top 20, but must have been close, it was on the radio all the time any way).
