Guest Dante Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 It probably won't qualify as northern, but the harmonica in Sonny Boy Williamson's Help Me is an absolute belter. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest son of stan Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Soulboy, (Danny Tenaglia) "The Harmonica Track" is always in my box when I do friends' birthdays, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx3ad4BclQQ Along with "...Mr Bloe".

TheBigO Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 All belting TOONS! but for me its got to be the mournful genius of Sammy Davis Jnr 'Not For Me' (UK Reprise) which is a toon I have been spinning on and off since my days gracing the decks in the Starlight Room at the Pier in Morecombe. To the best of my knowledge seldom if ever spun out but I look forward to being corrected Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dekka Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I've come to the conclusion that i'm at odds with everyone else on this scene I can't understand for the life of me, how no one has mentioned Junior Wells. He is surpassed only by his mentor Sonny Boy Williamson. Junior Wells crossed over to R&B/Soul with devastating effect. Checking on my Baby Party Power I cant stand no signifying I'm gonna cramp your style Are just a few which I own, but there are more. I'm not suprised I'm dissilusioned with the scene since old Burnley and Middleton finished. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
