He was white with a 'tache with no soul whatsoever...and l danced to it too in 75!!

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

Esther Phillips "What a Difference a Day Makes"

George (bad) Benson "Supership"

Betty Wright "Where is the Love"

I think they all made charts?

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

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

That defo made Top 20 but personally never heard it at a NS night..Sounds like NS to me though...Think he was in The Marmalade at on time :shades:

Mentioned this once before on here a little trivia about Junior Campbell,He actually wrote the theme music to Thomas the tank engine

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 .

Malc,

Regarding Chairman of he Board I use to play that before it got released in the Uk at the Wheel and stopped as soon as it got released when all the other clubs started playing it.

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 ........
