Guest kevnewry Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 That's mad, I know somebody that fell for that hook line and sinker only this afternoon Agree with Mike Terry COOK LIKE AN ERUPTION
Pete Eccles Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 COOK LIKE AN ERUPTION Nearly Kev, now please stay on topic
Guest kevnewry Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Nearly Kev, now please stay on topic I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE AT THE TIME IN QUESTION.. ........ MAJOR LANCE.. BRENDA HOLLOWAY
Guest kevnewry Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Oh MIKE Terry l thought that you said 'Helen Terry!'.....yeah now l know who you mean.... MAJOR LANCE then!? WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS BEHIND PHILIP
Guest Awake 502 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Terry Callier !!! With one good record and one half decent one ??? Are we talking quality or quantity ? or both ? Edited January 29, 2010 by Awake 502
Guest kevnewry Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Terry Callier !!! With one good record and one half decent one ??? Are we talking quality or quantity ? or both ? THINK YOU'LL FIND MY FRIEND THAT MR CALLIER. WROTE, PRODUCED, AND HAD A HAND IN AN AWFUL LOT AS WELL AS RECORDING 1 AND A HALF RECORDS AS YOU PUT IT.........
Guest Awake 502 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Oh I thought it was about which artist had the most / greatest recordings played. If we are talking writing and producing then surely the Pied Piper Team are the real heroes.....
Citizen P Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Oh MIKE Terry l thought that you said 'Helen Terry!'.....yeah now l know who you mean.... MAJOR LANCE then!? Oooooooooh, Good Recovery. Tony
Rhino Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 jackie wilson/ brenda holloway would be my choices
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 no this should be based on artists who have recorded and done most or great Northern soul tracks not work if you only recorded 1 or 2 but needs to be a good amount and there for Jackie Wilson for Male and Ruby Andrews for female
Epic Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Lorraine Chandler for me - quality & quantity !!!!
Epic Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Lorraine Chandler for me - quality & quantity !!!! ....................with a little help from Mike Terry. So King Mike & Queen Lorraine it is !!
Guest Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Ermmm......Let me see now EDWIN STARR!! According to Arthur Conley in " Sweet Soul Music " , it was James Brown . " Spotlight on James Brown now , He's the king of them all , yeah , He's the king of them all , yeah , Oh yeah , oh yeah " My vote goes to Sam Cooke . Malc Burton
Guest Dave Turner Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Neil Thompson for me Dab hand with a paint brush
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Why Sam Cooke though he was and still is the best soul singer but his Northern soul ouput is limited to Sugar dumpling (always makes some people mad) and only other i can think of is Soothe me and Somebody Have Mercy we are not talking king and queen of soul music
Citizen P Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Amy Winhehouse... LOL 'Ere, thought it said Soul Artist, NOT P*ss Artist!! Tony
Kjw Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Would have thought it would be Darrell Banks if he had still been with us
Albert Petit Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 'Ere, thought it said Soul Artist, NOT P*ss Artist!! Tony hehehe, Just joking... For me: Male: Ray Pollard Female: Maxine Brown Cheers!
Guest andyrattigan Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Terry Callier !!! With one good record and one half decent one ??? Are we talking quality or quantity ? or both ? As a strictly 'Northern' Soul artist I agree his output is limited but as a Soul and Jazz artist outside the blinkered confines of the 'Northern' tag the man is a musical master. My nomination for greatest male Soul artist who fits comfortably within the Northern genre is Jackie Wilson. Both his 6ts and 7ts output is beyond comparison.
Ian Parker Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 two to choose from ... Curtis Mayfield Van Mcoy
Agentsmith Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Ermmm......Let me see now EDWIN STARR!! major lance, roy hamilton, marvin jones( jack montgomery)....LETS PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE....THEY HAVE A REPETOIRE OF SONGS THAT, FORTUNATELY DUE TO US HAVE BEEN TAGGED, IN THE MAIN WITH THE "NORTHERN SOUL MONIKER"....IT JUST SO HAPPENS CERTAIN TRACKS HAVE THE RIGHT APPEAL FOR THE DANCEFLOOR...and of course there's curtis, marvin and jackie wilson. rob.h
Guest Brett F Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) For me there is no other female singer who has that incredible and overwhelming ability to crash my senses in a manner akin to being hit with a drop forged steel 'Sumo Traditional' 24" wrecking bar…and that incredible and dynamic woman is Linda Jones.

Love Ms Jones, but for output and accessability I would have thought that Martha Reeves and Gladys Knight, would have to be near the top? With Gladys just shading it for me. Regards Tony Edited January 29, 2010 by tonyp

With Gladys just shading it for me. Regards Tony Blimey Tony. Martha Reeves (imo) is'nt even in the same league as Gladys Knight. at her best, MR is mediocre i've always thought, but GK is absolutely faultless, live or studio. anyway i'm off topic now, this is another debate IAN p.s. Female stalwarts of the Scene ?? ermmmm , for the number of tunes played, i'd say Linda jones too. who incidently is a remarkable singer i personally think.
Guest Matt Male Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 ls that like a concensus but with less letters?! Yes it's like putting YOU'RE, as in 'Your first allnighter... where and when'...
Epic Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Love Ms Jones, but for output and accessability I would have thought that Martha Reeves and Gladys Knight, would have to be near the top? With Gladys just shading it for me. Regards Tony Not wanting to play "devil's advocate" here but both Martha & Gladys both achieved fame & success on a global scale whereas my choice (Lorraine Chandler) only has her popularity exclusively on the Northern Soul scene. What Can I Do I Can't Hold On Tell Me Your Mine I Can't Change You Only Live Twice She Don't Want You Mend The Torn Pieces Of My Heart are all "exclusive" hits for the Northern scene & that is not forgetting her work with The O'Jays, Freddie Butler, The Hesitations, The Metro's, Sharon Scott & of course co-writing Eddie Parker's monster tunes "Love You Baby" & "I'm Gone" The lady truly sits proud on the "Northern Soul throne" IMHO.
Guest MBarrett Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 TERRY CALLIER Funny coincidence - just 10 minutes ago I received the 2010 update for the Ace catalogue. Some nice stuff as usual inc: The Terry Callier Story - About Time - 1965-1982. (The first overview of the opening chapters of Terry Callier's musical career. One of the finest voices on his finest tracks) MB

Quite Agree ............. Also she wont bring you truffles you've got truffles of your own
Guest Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Bobby Paris Lorraine Chandler OR Jackie Wilson Tobi Legend
De-to Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 the late great m.p.g, plus levi stubbs,i know its only one but its a tough call,
Shinehead Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Major Lance for me with J.J .Barnes running a close second. Female got to be Lorraine Chandler.
