Just a thought.

 

I don't know much about RnB tracks at all,but.... if you had to play three uptempo RnB tracks that would get the dance floor shaking what would they be?  Doesn't matter about price or rarity, just to get people off their butts on to the dance floor.

Here's my three

 

 

 

The three that always get the floor going for me when i Dj are:

 

Cookie Jackson: Do you still love me.

Beaty Lou & Bobby Adams: Doctor True Love.

Jimmy Frazier: Of Hope Dreams and Tombstones.

Don't know how you define these tracks as Northern??

Anyway, we'll have to agree to disagree about Ray Agee being R&B (although I'd like to hear your definition of R&B on another thread maybe)...

 

So here's three from me in an attempt to get the thread back on track:

 

Zu Zu Blues Band - Zu Zu Man - A&M

 

John & Carol - Get Your Hat - Botone

Little Joe Hinton - Lets Start A Romance

my three i play out

 

curly moore - you don't mean  sansu

 

betty harris - 12 red roses  sansu

 

peppermint harris - wait until it happens to you  jewel

 

 

 

also this 3 as well

 

tommy ridgley  - my ordinary girl  ric

 

little johnny taylor - help yourself  galaxy

 

larry williams let me tell you baby speciality

Edited April 16, 201312 yr by acky6859

So are we talking:

 

Miss Lavell - Stolen love

 

Charmaines - I idolise you

 

Bobby and Betty Lou - Doctor true love

 

R & B not my strong suit but these seem to fit the bill.

This one sits in the NS and R&B camp ,I would say it its R&B  ,but I wouldn't argue if some one said its Northern

 

 

Bazza 

Here's my 3...

 

 

 

_{Charles Farren -You changed my whole life around - Hawk}

 

_{Little oscar - Empty bottles - Palos}

 

_{Mickey Champion - What good am i. - Musette}

Has anyone ever woke up one morning and said "I'm going to record a Northern Soul track"?

Yet there are thousands of Northern Soul tracks.

Or are they no longer Northern Soul tracks, they are in fact "R & B" tracks and for the last 45 years we haven't had a clue what we've been listening to?  We called it by the wrong name, this cult that played special music that was different to everything else...all the time it was simply

R & B

Surely northern soul is an umbrella term to house different styles of black music with in a scene? Soul and Rnb being the most prolific. IMO the tracks mentioned thus far are Rnb and not soul.

So I think your absolutely correct

Ted Taylor 'Somebody's  always Trying'     northern/rnb ?

James Spencer ' In Law Trouble '.
