Mighty lovers C/U for Butch. I know I bang on about this but it is pure quality Northern Soul.

 

Trouble is Byrney, only a small proportion of the people on the scene will have even heard it. I agree though it's fantastic, I always ask Butch to play it.

Is Margaret Little - Love Finds A Way in the last 10 years? I'm useless at time frames.

 

Possibly the biggest tune of the last 10 years.

 

Tobi Bowe's version of I can feel him slipping away had its 5 minutes in the sun as well. Maybe hasnt stood the test of time as well as Margaret Little tho.

It's down to personal choice I suppose. How about:

 

Mixed Feelings - Sha La La

Lil Major Williams - Girl You're So Sweet To Me

Tiarras - Foolish Girl - thanks to Paul McKay for playing these 3 last night at Masters Of Soul

Joseph Webster - My Love Is Strong

The Poets - Wrapped Around Your Finger

The Vanguards - Good Times Bad Times

Salt & Pepper - A Man Of My Word

Billy Byrd - Lost In A Crowd

Chico Lamarr - What Do You Think

Two Plus Two - I'm Sure / Lookaround

Tommy Knight - Don't Bring Back Memories

The Ravins - Your Love Is What I Want

The Sensations - Demanding Man

Angela Davis & The Mighty Chevelles - My Love Is Strong

Willie Coco - Message To Society

J T Parker - If You Want To Hold On

Sag War Fare - Don't Be So Jive

Doc Peabody - Here Without You

The Four Dynamics - Things That A Lady Ain't Supposed To Do

The Mello Souls - We Can Make It

Margaret Little - Love Finds A Way

Sandy Golden -  Your Love Is Everything

Arthur Willis - The Hurting Is Over

 

plus my favourite Butch cover ups

Jean Carter - I Wanna Know

Martha Jean Love - That's The Way The Story Goes / Old Time Lover

 

Sorry it's a fairly long list but these tunes fill the dance floor at the nighters I attend. 

 

Take me Geoff. Sounds like perfection.

(No politics mind :D  )

Oldies scene or upfront?

 

Don't like to discriminate but I'd say those tunes that generally became the biggest and best in the opinion of the good people of SS over the last ten years or so - so re-activated tunes would be included but not 'nostalgia' tunes as good as many are.

 

Had a couple of really good responses so far but would love to hear from more members.

Phil started a thread recently, some thing like where have all the big lads gone, meaning the classic rareities, well IMHO most mentioned on this thread so far could be placed in this category, its not just about the classics, altho some of these I think of as classics now, as good as many played in the golden era & better in some cases.

Pattrinel Staten . Little love affair. Think was about 10 years back when I first heard it. Steve

 

 

Was long time ago as it was Keb who found it with John Manship, not sure if Keb played it first or moved it on to Butch or if Butch found another copy.

One thing is for sure, there's been some great records played in recent times as this thread shows.

A nice antidote to the one show bollox and what the scene should be about, pity it won't get as much attention.

The right people and the right venues are out there  :yes:

 

Revitalised - Judy Stokes.

 

Emory & dynamics - lets take a look.

Henry C is a great tune Ted I've also played it out a few times, not well known though but proper northern and I'd I also throw Bernie Moore in to.

These two certainly not the biggest tunes of the last 10 years but two of the best.

Well here's ten just of the top of my head....will post more later, but here's some bangers to be going on with...

 

Parliaments - Rainy Day

Ishola Muhammed - Open Up Your Heart

United Sounds - Its All Over (Baby)

Willie Dale - Let Your Light Shine

Tiaras - Foolish Girl/Suprise

Precisions - My Sense Of Direction (Is Blown)

Hopkins Brothers - Shake Sheri

Sir Guy - Nobody Beats My Love

What a great list of records. The bbc would have performed a more valuable service if it'd fucked the one show off and filled the half hour playing these instead

Unfortunately quite a few of the 45's being lauded in this thread are very poor records. Just my opinion of course. The Little Suzi tune isn't really a cover up, it's a Sue Rainey 45 with the wrong label on it. Played by Cliff Camfield for a year or so until Karl persuaded him to sell it. Never did anything for me personally.

 

Tommy Dent was being played by Richard Lewis long before Sam. Again does nowt for me.

 

The Sir Guy thing is ghastly.

 

The Precisions is very messy and another example of rarity over quality.

 

Just my humble opinion, and the reason I don't bother going out anymore.  :D

I've heard this said before Russ,have no recollection of this myself.A Cliff Steele spin,but wouldnt be suprised if had been tried before.I put this on the thread because of the reaction in the last few years. :thumbsup:
