[Guest allnightandy]

[MrsWoodsrules]

[Shinehead]

Heard The Champion last night on Cowboy Builders , its more of a surprise not to hear some northern used as a backing to tv shows these days.

[Guest]

Ulster Television recently used "I'll Be Round When You Want Me" by Geno Washington on their indents between the news and weather

[Guest Ian 1930]

There was a documentary last week about Muhammed Ali and some of the backing tracks were The Champion, Thumb a Ride ( I think) and a couple of others that I can't remember. I'd had a couple of glasses of red by then and my early-onset Alzheimer's is clearly also affecting my memory!

Yes, the Levi adverts used a number of tracks, as did Burger King, Rubin on the cat food add as mentioned by MrsWoodsrules, Hold on I'm coming was played tonight, cant for the life of me rember what was being promoted, only the Mrs telling to stop bopping on the sofa (OK I'll acccept its not strictly Northern BUT ).

Should we be surprised?, i think not, soul music, more specifically what is euphemistically referred to as Northern Soul, has been more under ground than under ground rock was in the late 60T's early 70T's (Floyyd, Genesis, Starship etc).

The genre has got to have vast untapped potential, we've got to have, these days, Northern Soulies working for the advertising industry able to impose their musical tastes on all manner of television/advertising/radio audio tracks and lets face it there is a wealth of product posted on You Tube they can refer to if they run out ideas :yes: :yes: :yes:

Only saw a bit of this myself , played some crackin stuff, great doc too.

[Steve Foran]

That WIFE SWAP programme played the Delites Lover during the segment when the 2 couples reunite and talk about the swap at a hotel.

[sir cumference]

Bargain Hunt,Wife Swap-bloody hell-were you watching because you knew you were going to hear the tunes?

Doesn`t do the street cred any good

[Steve Foran]

I know I know. I dont even recall WHY we had Wife Swap on.Not something I would normally view to say the least. Sorry people I hang my head in shame.

[Ik001]

I remember hearing that one at the time. Not that I'm a fan of Wife Swap but was slighly taken aback when it came on as the record had quiet a bit of airing around that time.

[Middleman]

"Come on train" was used in an advert fairly recently, seem to remember it had some bloke skating around.

Wife swap always seemed to play some sort of soul song at the end

When No Angels first came on Channel 4 years ago probably the first series the music played was mainly soul of the deeper side and i just used to watch it for the music , even though the show itself was not too bad.

I never watch it , but i do remember a few years ago there was a (disco) in the Rovers and it was all northern soul , but i can't for the life of me remember how i got to know it was on or even remember a single sound !

[Ernie Andrews]

[shelly]

Rose Batiste Hit & Run was played during a crickedt match on either Heartbeat or that other Sunday night programme set in a 60's hospital in Yorks, no idea what it's called

[Guest mickmac]

That Beating Rhythm was played on the last episode of some TV solicitors Drama, set in Leeds approx 10-12 years ago. The series was written by the same guy that wrote "Silks" seen on TV last year I think.

[Guest jerrio]

On one episode of Heartbeat every tune was a Northern record,first one was Lillian Dupree Hide and Seek,The Spy Guys From Uncle.Cant remember the rest but I remember thinking at the time they might be putting a Northern compilation to go with the other Heartbeat CD series

[Guest allnightandy]

There was once an episode of Coronation Street which included a disco in the rovers and every record was a northern track can't remember any of them though ! LoL

Sky sports used to use Right Track by Billy Butler on some sports programmes

Nothing to do with this topic !

My son appeared in two episodes of Heartbeat !

[Chris L]

Ali McBeal used to have soul singers and tunes appearing from time to time, Spiral Staircase and others plus cameo appearances form Barry White, Al Green and Lou Rawls maybe more.

It was an ad for Barclaycard, and it wasn't the original Come On Train, it was a remixed version that was available on iTunes.

Remember this at Wigan, covered up as Jealously, nigh on impossible to dance to, unless you'd had shed full of Riker.

few years ago , channel 4 documentary about trainers played shoes , bobby bland , also when the euros were in portugal itv finished their coverage of portugal v holland ( i think ) with frank popp , hip teens

[Guest manusf3a]

The other night on the programme about the original wags,the players wives of 1966 Landslide ,well large sections of it got played numerous times throughout,Tina Moore was absolutely lovelyshining out brighter than all the other wives combined,,,,,,,,,,,,,j.I have vivid memories of watching the world cup all sat round the black and white telly at home my dad jumping up and going wild whenever we scored,and how brilliant the mood was when we won for days on end.I also remember going to the pictures(cinema to some ,pictures to me)to watch the film goal some months later showing the final and competition in "living techniclour"and it was brilliant, people cheering the goals,weaing scarves etc.Well at least I wil have seen England win a competition once for football in my lifetime!.Till then it will be the same old getting up hope with an opening result or results in the competition then just as Tony Clarke puts it"Misery coming down on me!",as England f..k it oop in the later stages but so what ,I will not stop supporting them.
