Blue Eyed Soul Versus The Way Of The Crowd

[The Tempest]

Don't know if this one has been covered before but just curious

We are all aware of some outstanding records over the years to get played and rightly so to become classics on our scene, namely The Nomads , Soul Set , Judy Hughes , Vivian Carrol , etc etc etc ...

We have even had a few blue eyed compilations put together , e.g. Rare Blue Eyed Northern Soul and latetly Northern Soul At The Beach , which are quality albums ,

BUT do you think a DJ would get away with a full set of white artists in his set at a soul night or a nighter as a bit of something different OR would some folks twig and bombard him with requests from black artists !!!

Personally I don't think it matters , I'm a massive fan of the Carolina beach music scene and could easily listen to a whole soul night of it , never mind a spot !!!

Whats your views on this one ?

I think it's a great idea. Maybe break it up with a couple of stomping pop instrumentals to really get peoples' backs up

[Guest]

Didn't realise that music was coloured

If its good music they'll dance end of

I think you can get away with a few but not all night depends on the crowd really last time I DJ'd I played Cilla Black yo yo and it went done ok but sometimes you just cant tell.

[Guest]

But how many people dancing (or in the club) knew it was Cilla Black? And why on earth if you knew(of course) are you doing playing a tune by Cilla Black?? That just taking the p**s!!

Do you know the tune ? is quite good you know got that northern feel produced by Mike vickers I think

heres a link to it

and many djs still play them yet and get away with it

been plenty of good blue eyed soul stuff since wigan

[Godzilla]

On a more serious note check this: You have to start at about 1:30 though. I reckon this version would hold it's own at any soul event - regardless of what they look like. Live too, so these guys can definitely play and sing.

The album The Embers brought out about 18 months ago is worth checking out if you haven't heard it.

Like the title track & also their version of Ronnie Limar's "You Mean The World To Me Sweetheart"

if rod stewart is then why not

[funkyfeet]

Of course you could, and no one would notice it one little bit, unless they are a real sad bastards, and they don't even have to be Wigan Classics even, there were enough played at Stafford and since, to put one hell of a spot together.

Isn't "The Way Of The Crowd" - Dan Folger blue eyed anyway?

I have an Embers album recorded live where they do impersonations of some of the big acts at the time. Including Ray Charles sacking one of his helpers live on stage quite a good likeness and quite funny too.

If it's good enough it's black enough simple as that.

[Guest WPaulVanDyk]

I think it wouldn't matter. if it's good they can play it and i think some people will be sad to spot that the whole hour is of white artists. Wouldn'r matter to me, i enjoy all music and love Paul Anka too. Not sure on Cilla Black though that's pushing the boat too far

[Guest Perception]

There are a lot of great singers, Black and White.

What matters time and time again, is who is the Arranger, Producer, Song writers!!!

[Harry Crosby]

great stuff, one of my fave blue eyed outfits
