Swifty Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 This one for me but there's loads I like PETE HAMILTON - HEY GIRL 2
Swifty Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 and this , c'mon you know you danced to it MISTURA - THE FLASHER
Wicked Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Don't think it was ever played out on the northern scene, may be i'm wrong It got played at our local soul club (Paynes in Llandudno) as a new release, don't know about anywhere else, great tune btw. Another I remember as a 14 year old was Kool and the Gang by Kool and the Gang.
Cunnie Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Does this count?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXPsivw4JAQ 1
Mtay9778 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I love instrumentals, my current favourite being funky funky Betty Brooks although I've got it as King Bee by Berry Street Station
Zoomsoulblue Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 This has Atmosphere by the bucket load much better than Frankie & The classicals In My Opinion I need one
Guest Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I need one I was actually thinking of selling mine on the bay....but I just played it again and now i`m not so sure.
Citizen P Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Still quite partial to Mad Dog & The Pups
Zoomsoulblue Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I was actually thinking of selling mine on the bay....but I just played it again and now i`m not so sure. He's one that in its day packed the floor - green door - however he does say what's behind the green door. So I guess not 100% instrumental.

Millo Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 When I decide to play some vinyl at home I often notice that I have unintentionally picked more instrumentals than vocals. I have no idea why, it just happens.
grant Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 How about Bob's Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slJFGnPuSls 1
Guest manusf3a Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Still play 'em, certain ones are timeless. Never understood the 'no soul' part of the argument personally. Mike Terry, Dave Hamilton, Robert Bateman, Earl Van Dyke, Popcorn Wylie, etc had no soul? Yeah right! Mirwood players soulless? Nah. I guess it's about whether you're into the music as much as the singing, to me they are both of equal interest. Regards, Dave Metronome like 88s, wailing sax break and vibes aplenty. get it down 'yer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyVGp9XpB-0 Always liked Brown Sugar by the Watts plus loads of other instrumentals,still do as for the arguement about not being soulful I still dont get that ,some may not be but theres lots of vocals about then and now that I personaly would call far from soulful, matter of taste ,of course it is. Anyway what are some folk going to say if a bunch of the blues masters get together and during the session hit out a tune instruments only ,likes of B.B King,Otis Rush,Freddie King etc really making the guitars talk expressive as hell hell sax,heartbeat drum and bass guitar rythms flowing through you and the room around you "Naw mate,That aint the Blues! come on give us some of the real Blues with vocal." if you do look to get your arse kicked by everyone present..

hullsoul Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Always liked Brown Sugar by the Watts Always think it sounds like Zu Zu Man on whiz John Weston gave me the nod about it awhile back,think he's played it out a few times.I've also given it the odd play recently & it doesn't seem that well known? Cheers Martyn

Cheers Martyn Was reasonably well known in the seventies and pretty easy to get an issue for pence,dont know why it later on seemed to put me in mind of the o jays ship ahoy for some reason,must be a train of connections in my mind somewhere,possibly brown sugar,the slave trade ,journey on slave ships to America from Africa,thats just the sort of frame of mind it sets in me when I hear it,maybe thats one of the many reasons why I think an instrumental can be soulful.Where the roots have come from Edited November 24, 2014 by manusf3a

Sjclement Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 One of the biggest ones back in the day And this was huge at the Casino (probably originated somewhere else)
Jordirip Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Always a big fav. of mine. This could have been mentioned on the Wigan thread also. Soulful Strings. 3

pow wow mik Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Always a big fav. of mine. This could have been mentioned on the Wigan thread also. Soulful Strings. Like it, but always thought the drum track was like someone hitting a cardboard box. Prefer versions by s.o.u.l. and kenny burrell Brown sugar is a version of zuzu man on a&m, not whiz ] Edited November 24, 2014 by pow wow mik
Kjw Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Three from Cleethorpes in the 70's - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8W5Dp6Lo-6I
Guest welshruss Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 175 post,s and not one mention of "Freddie McCoy" Soul Yogi...........brilliant. Although a few posts back some one did give a shout for another fave of mine - Jimmy Wisner,,Choppin Around.
jocko Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 One I always thought I would start the aggro soul set I have in my head planned. Lonnie Youngblood African Twist Pt 2 (other side is a vocal) Boy the boy can blow!
jocko Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Always a big fav. of mine. This could have been mentioned on the Wigan thread also. Soulful Strings. Awesome, its just almost madness to think of this being played at a traditional Northern night now....
Cunnie Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Three from Cleethorpes in the 70's - That's took from my copy.
Jaco Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Nobody's mentioned what would have been a holy grail record in 1971 - well it was for me. The thunderous "6 x 6" - just about everything including the proverbial kitchen sink thrown in.
Soulstu Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 These hundred and 80 odd posts kind of confirm that generally, yes we are indeed 'bovvered' about instrumentals! 1
Sjclement Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 If you're gonna give Soul Yogi a ment. then surely this deserves one? 1
Rich B Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Always think it sounds like Zu Zu Man on whiz John Weston gave me the nod about it awhile back,think he's played it out a few times.I've also given it the odd play recently & it doesn't seem that well known?

Prefer versions by s.o.u.l. and kenny burrell Brown sugar is a version of zuzu man on a&m, not whiz ] Yes, I know what you mean about the drum sound, but the guitar and everything else in it is fantastic. i love the S.O.U.L version too but this was the first version for me and the dancefloor would heave as everyone in the room stomped or shuffled to it.
Guest Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Almost forgot Van the man!! https://youtu.be/0tSBCbp6NOE And a big Mecca/Rose Room spin for Tony Jebb. https://youtu.be/iqoOhM4RE6c
Mach Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 have.nt had time to read the whole thread, but as anyone mentioned ..was it Motown brass, love on a rampage? storming instro to the perigents on Maltese i had on tape for donkeys years, still not sure if it was unissued c/u etc... can anybody can post a clip?
georgeblackwell Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 A simple question to those who do not rate instrumentals. Given the choice which would you prefer to listen to. An acappella, vocal only version of a northern classic or the instrumental track to the same tune. For me unless it was a brilliant vocal group like The Dells, Whispers, Hesitations etc I would take the track every time.

Guest manusf3a Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Lets hear it for the Semi- instrumentals Rona's theme Cleethorpes pier.....nice.
Guest manusf3a Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Almost forgot Van the man!! https://youtu.be/0tSBCbp6NOE And a big Mecca/Rose Room spin for Tony Jebb. https://youtu.be/iqoOhM4RE6c Four o'clock in the morning nighter really banging,everyone up for it floor full, something like African Twist comes on ,thats just the ticket,and you say instrumentals cant be soulful,the ones who do say this sort of thing should then try asking the floor of dancers on such a nighter floor at four o clock what they think, In my opinion its pure soul and northern scene soul to the core.
Hambostein Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 and this is one of me favourites https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRlr8l3lJjA 2
Hambostein Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Always liked this as well, not too sure if it was ever played out though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIPUhB7kRiY 1
Guest DAWEEDSMOKA Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I play this one out from time to time Edited November 30, 2014 by DAWEEDSMOKA
Guest Carl Dixon Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Love some instrumentals. Especially those Al kent Ric Tic releases. Also some Philly cuts like 'Waiting for the rain' and MFSB releases. Yes Pete, that Sidra's Theme. Different level. So rare, not released yet. This, it's new, modern, probably doesn't tick the boxes, but..it's getting there. Demo right now, vocals nearly done.....release this month or early january. Press to vinyl - no way! Doubt it would sell any. https://soundcloud.com/55motown/loving-you-always-came-easy-instrumental-demo
