Which big money records that are supposed to be popular always clear the floor when you play them out?

I`ll start with these three.....

Philip James-Keep on loving-Daywood

Essence of love-Yes its you-Kcity

Pro-Fascination-I want to wrap you in my arms- Mot

Lets have yours......

Chris

All of em Chris

Over the years Gwen Owens - mystery man has always done that particular trick, tough one to dance to I think. Bobby Guitar Bennett - you did it again has also created some clusters of smokers in my experience.

Damm my clumsy fat fingers, go-slow keyboard and dial up connection.....I had you in my sights Threlfall....in my sights I tell ya!

This record is like MARMITE !! , great tune but impossible to dance to unless you've just won the recent dance comp at Blackpool !!!!

Anybody play this out in their current sets ?

Buck rodgers movement-take it from me -absolute sh.....te

Romona Collins

Sinceres on Pzazz

Vikki Styles on Odex (too funky - they initially think Darell Banks & then vacate the floor hastily)

What's That - Jimmy McCracklin

&

65 Bars - Louis Jordan

Both now firmly consigned to the 'collection' shelves.

Always seems to do ok-ish over here. I say 'ish' as it depends where it is played I suppose. Never had the floor clear to it though.

I reckon we could all say that about each other at various times.(Not referring to the actual tune-just the statement)

Absolutely, if we all liked the same stuff, it would be THE BORING WORLD OF NORTHERN SOUL not the SWONS!!!!!!

I once played it - along with Gino on Golden Crest and the slow side of Stewart Ames - at what [i wasn't told ... just play what you want ...] was a proper oldies bash

Was on first to "set the tone" for the evening and certainly did that, you've never seen a pie n peas queue form faster in your life LOL. I'd have a heart attack now after about 15 seconds!

make that 10 Phil

With respect Phil, given the first 45 was "It's Only A Paper Moon" I'm not surprised. Used to love it but now I shudder at the thought!
