Moxey25 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 what records could be garanted floor fillers eg williams and watson to late
Guest SoulNinja Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 For me it's 7th Avenue Aviators - You Should 'O Held On. It breaks, & it builds just nice.
Russ Vickers Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Not sure that would fill the floor at some of the places I frequent any more.....maybe 35 years ago.....however: Its Beautiful - Ruby Andrews Shake Sheri - Hopkins Brothers Parliaments - Rainy Day Sag War Fare - Dont Be So Jive/Girl You Better Change Sir Joe - Nobody Beats My Love Eddie Daniels - Is He Better Than Me Just a few of the top of my head....... Best Russ
Tony Foster Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Not sure that would fill the floor at some of the places I frequent any more.....maybe 35 years ago.....however: Its Beautiful - Ruby Andrews Shake Sheri - Hopkins Brothers Parliaments - Rainy Day Sag War Fare - Dont Be So Jive/Girl You Better Change Sir Joe - Nobody Beats My Love Eddie Daniels - Is He Better Than Me Just a few of the top of my head....... Best Russ Some fine choices here..
Russ Vickers Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Some fine choices here.. Cheers Tony.....missin me Nighters here in Baghdad & these would ram the floor at the places I wish I could attend.....never mind I'll be back with a vengeance shortly for a few short weeks. Take care Russ
Britmusicsoulfan Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I Dig Your Act from the O'Jays seems to get 'em moving!

Russ Vickers Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Brilliant tune Russ , as are the rest of course. I just love both sides of Sag War Fare........dont spose I will ever have an opportunity to own my own copy, but just as happy to dance me ass off to it when I'm out n about....however any one wishing to move on a copy to a good home . T'oher side of Sir Joe is hoofin' as well. Thank you for the kind comments Best Russ Edited July 6, 2011 by Russ Vickers
Steve L Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Not sure that would fill the floor at some of the places I frequent any more.....maybe 35 years ago.....however: Its Beautiful - Ruby Andrews Shake Sheri - Hopkins Brothers Parliaments - Rainy Day Sag War Fare - Dont Be So Jive/Girl You Better Change Sir Joe - Nobody Beats My Love Eddie Daniels - Is He Better Than Me Just a few of the top of my head....... Best Russ That lot would fill the floor with me thats for for sure Russ not at most places though most people would stand around scratching their bollocks
Mak Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 That lot would fill the floor with me thats for for sure Russ not at most places though most people would stand around scratching their bollocks , where do you mean Steve .......
Winnie :-) Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 That lot would fill the floor with me thats for for sure Russ not at most places though most people would stand around scratching their bollocks that's called 'bustin a move' in some circles........ you're my mellow would still get me moving to the dancefloor
Little-stevie Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) As you know Steve we have ladies at events also... What would they scratch or is this just a bloke thing??? regards PC soul brigade.. Floor fillers..... With the difference in soul clubs and sounds its gonna be a matter of opinion indeed... What moves one venue could lead to a stampede for the door at others. Maybe the topic starter is talking about traditional northern oldies night???? Edited July 6, 2011 by little-stevie
Guest soul over easy Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 think stevie is probably right with what he said,depends on wich venues youre attending, a yorkshire dj spun bill brandon & lorraine johnson / fulltime groover in the east mids and emptied the floor,yet the following week played it again in sheffield and packed the floor.
Moxey25 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 eney record if it packs the dance floor its worth a mention
Guest Preems Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Some friends and I do an night which spans tastes from Rock-A-Billy to Doo-Wop to Soul in San Francisco, so not sure if our "floorfillers" would be relevant but for the sake of fun here are few we've had great fun with over the last 8 or so years Harvey- Any Way You Wanna - Tri Phi The Four Casts (The Lidels) - Stormy Weather - Atlantic The Versatones -Bila - Atlantic Eddie Cash & The Cash Registers - Doin' All Right -Peak Bill Allen & His Backbeats - Please Give me Something Wade Flemons - Jeannette - Ramsel Patience Valentine - If You Don't Come - Sar Dave C and The Sharptones - Diane - WHirl Serenaders - Dance Darling - MGM Caronators - Seniorita/ Long Hot Summer- Clock Mel & Tim - Forever and A day and anything by Gino Washington....
Gold Band Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I'll follow Mr Vickers love the funky Hopkins Brothers - Shake Sheri (Magnetic) but if the set had a funky feel at a said event where people appreciated such music a floor filler would be The Devils feat. J. Watson Vance - Love & Understanding (Cuca).

Guest Preems Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I love all those sorts of music, would love to go to San Francisco an hear that selection xxx it's a sweaty mess out here and all are welcome Thanks much!!

It Certainly is a heady mix from Sidney Barnes & his Serenaders from the 50's to Mel & Tim from 1973 a full on 4:30 plus track!!!! It certainly does add up to alot of fun & fancy footwork.
Alfie79 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 some that for me works very very well everytime i've spun it Frank Beverly if thats what you wanted Vibrations Cause you're mine Tommy Neal Going to happening Charles Sheffield Vodoo workin Ernie Washington Lonesome shack Jimmie preacher ellis i'm gonna do by yourself Frederick Hymes III time ain't gonna do me no favour Sage i'm alive Little Beaver Listen to my heartbeat Charles Johnson You made a mistake
Guest Preems Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Oh wow I didn't know Sidney Barnes was in the Serenaders, cool! Yeah it's an eclectic mix but when it works right, fairly blissful! Regarding floorfillers, one that always got me at the no longer active but fondly remembered 60's night out here was Since I Found My Baby - The Metros
21 Again Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Eddie Holman I surrender. Will Collins Anything i can do. Cant go wrong with these two.
Kris Holmes Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Charles Sheffield Vodoo workin cosign on this one, dancefloor catnip.

Best Russ Hmm, I'd be doing a lot of sitting down at that particular do, I don't know any of them. I'd dance to the Aviators though
Pete S Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Vibrations Cause you're mine I always use that as an emergency floor filler! 1

Phil Shields Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 And for those hot summer nights I can sell you some nice decking @ £1.50 a metre....deffo need loads of talc though

KevH Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I always use that as an emergency floor filler! That's a very good point Pete.The panic button floor filler.Every dj should carry one.(Or 2 in the East Midlands). Unless you've got a skin like a rhino.
Russ Vickers Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Hmm, I'd be doing a lot of sitting down at that particular do, I don't know any of them. I'd dance to the Aviators though With no disrespect intended, that probably says more about you, than it doeas about the records & of course that was partly the intention anyway. Best RUSS
Dave Abbott Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 That's a very good point Pete.The panic button floor filler.Every dj should carry one.(Or 2 in the East Midlands). Unless you've got a skin like a rhino. exactly why i had Swan Flight make me the smallest record box they could so that i don't take fillers...well, not fillers but you know what i mean :-)

Raremusicdirect Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I have listed three that came to mind and the majority would be up too ........... Parisians - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star The Four Pros - Just Another Girl Mickey Champion - What Good Am I
Psamsara Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Not sure that would fill the floor at some of the places I frequent any more.....maybe 35 years ago.....however: Its Beautiful - Ruby Andrews Shake Sheri - Hopkins Brothers Parliaments - Rainy Day Sag War Fare - Dont Be So Jive/Girl You Better Change Sir Joe - Nobody Beats My Love Eddie Daniels - Is He Better Than Me Just a few of the top of my head....... Best Russ Sag War Fare - Dont Be So Jive omg! mixed feelings when you discover a tune like this... feels great listening to this masterpiece, on the other hand it's frustrating to know that there are almost 0 chances to get a copy. perfect record in it's own way.
Simsy Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Mick H played this on Saturday night. Unsurprisingly, it packed the floor. 1
Ernie Andrews Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Ever again - which ever version you put on . Yum Yum Tree is another floor filler for me
Guest julesp1905 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Something that sounds similar to "Tighten Up" seems to be the order of the day well at least the venues i attend
lorchand Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Mick H played this on Saturday night. Unsurprisingly, it packed the floor. Yea! Get'um Eddie! I was waiting for this to hit! Lorraine
