Patto Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Always think that the greatest Northern Soul tracks are the ones with Brill intros that call you to dancefloor action.Off the top of my head Four Perfections--I'm Not Strong Enough Dee Dee Sharp---What Kind of Lady Younghearts--A Little Togetherness Precisions---If This Is Love Jades---I'm Where Its At and who can forget the Horn intro to Nobody But Me--Human Beinz Edited July 17, 2012 by Patto Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Patto Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So many great ones the intros are often the difference between a good Northern Soul Record and one that gains legendary status.Another two i love are both by Edward Hamilton & the Arabians,the explosive drums intro to I'M GONNA LOVE LOVE YOU,and the great lead into BABY DON'T YOU WEEP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 mello souls Mello Souls, just about one of the best intro to a Northern Soul dancer ever IMO.

Guest Byrney Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Both you and Grant bet me to it. The guitar intro was and still is for me as good as an alarm to hit the floor. Then the record just explodes Proper Aggro Northern Soul mate. Mello Souls, just about one of the best intro to a Northern Soul dancer ever IMO.

Stuff I'm listening to these days, for a great intro, Brook Brothers, Looking For A Woman, the start is just so cool IMO. Aid. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
MrsWoodsrules Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Don't know if already been mentioned but Ernest Mosely, Stubbern Heart, great opening notes. For an opening to a slow one I like Tony Clarke, Wrong Man & for just a classic Northern tune the Shane Martin I need you takes some beating.
