Premium Stuff Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) I can't help liking this song - of it's time and good fun Was this ever considered a soul record? His dancing in this video is different Would this ever get played nowadays? Cheers Richard Edited June 6, 2013 by Premium Stuff
Roburt Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) It was definitely considered a soul record when it 1st came out. From its US 45 release to it making the UK pop chart it was a massive Mojo Club play. Got plays from around mid August 67 when the Mojo had gone to Alldayers instead of nighters .... but a last couple of niters kicked in before the council forced the clubs close down & it was played at them as well (as I remember at least). It was a massive US R&B + Pop chart hit from the off ....... it had made the Aussie pop Top 10 by Jan 68 and the UK Pop Top 10 by Feb 68. Edited May 31, 2013 by Roburt

Pete S Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I love this song, I remember it from being played on Radio 1 at the time on the breakfast show while getting ready for school, I must have been 7 or 8...classic 1
Mr Smithy Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 What's not to like? just feelgood music only a soul snob ( were such a thing to exist ) wouldn't like.
