Pauldonnelly Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have my 55th in 9 days time, if I'm honest with you some years ago I said "if I reach 55 I'll be dead chuffed" Been asked by a few to put together my all time top ten to play on the night, if the same scenario was chucked at you , what would you pick and why? I'm having some big probs with this however certain records mean so much to me for various reasons such as Out ON the FLOOR--DOBIE GRAY, 1st time I heard this was Bletsoe late 1972, Eddie Dinn brought it and that Sunday we must have played it 100 times round Debbie Latimers farthers House..iconic ??? what would you play??

Guest Dave Turner Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Paul, looking forward to the big bash mate. These are nowhere near my top 10 records but for one reason or another mean something to me such as a time, a place, a person or another particular memory. Loads of soul I love that ain't Northern or danceable but for Northern I'd go for these. All early stuff but that's where a lot of my greatest memories lay -- 1 - J.J.Barnes - Please Let Me In 2 - Dee Irwin - I Only Get This Feeling 3 - Homer Banks - A Lot Of Love 4 - Billy Butler - Right Track 5 - Bobby Treetop - Wait Till I Get To Know Ya 6 - Rex Garvin - Queen of the Go Go 7 - Robert Banks - A Mighty Good Way 8 - Alexander Patton - A lil Lovin' Sometimes 9 - Johnny Wyatt - This Thing Called Love 10 - Sapphires - The Slow Fizz PS -- Can't be arsed to go into reasons why apart from J.J.Barnes was the first record ever to make me physically tingle and as such changed my life forever and Dee Irwin was the first ever record to make tears flood down me cheeks.

I am looking forward to what will definately be a top evening Paul , both as a socialiser and as one of the DJs invited by you to play / share a spot with our fellow muskateer , Jez Jones . I have often attempted to put down on paper what I consider to be my " top 10 " , but always fail , as I find that the ten becomes eleven and twelve etc. . However , here are NINE that stand a good chance of being in my ............. top 50 The Sapphires - Gotta Have Your Love The Du-ettes - Every Beat Of My Heart Robert Parker - I Caught You In A Lie James Brown - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag Joy Lovejoy - In Orbit Bud Harper - Mr Soul Alvin Cash - Twine Time Jr Walker - Sweet Soul Bobby Bland - Call On Me No doubt I will talk to you / exchange emails before , but see you on the 5th Malc Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
