Chris Anderton Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Randy Brown "Always in the mood" Chuck Cissell "Dont tell me you`re sorry" Barrino brothers "Trapped in a love" David Ruffin "Rode by the place" all massive around here at the moment. I`d say the classic "both rooms" records would have to be; Lew Kirton "Heaven in the afternoon" Charles Johnson "Never had a love so good" Will Collins "Anything i can do" Sure you would still get a good reaction to these in a modern room if played at the right time and place. Modern rooms these days seem to consist of very little 70s and concentrate on the newer releases along with 80s and 90s tracks..... Chris Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Epic Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Not wanting to sound too picky but some of the records listed in this discussion are over 25 years old - do we still percieve these records as "modern"? The Four Tops were recording "modern" records once - but that was in 1965. Just realised - anything recorded after December 31st 1969 is classed as modern by some contributors on this site. Soul music was good in '65 & 40 years on the new releases are still good - open up your minds - you're missing out! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm not trying to oversimplify things, I really don't know. I go in modern rooms, and dance to things just as happily as in northern rooms, the prerequisite is that they hit the spot. Think Col, was just trying to see what appealled to both audiences, and obviously stuff that has crossed over to the northern room, would feature more in the picks.
