Guest martinsbox Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Don't know if there's been a thread for this before, but what IS the slowest Northern tune played at a nighter? Slower than perhaps Tony Clarke's "The Entertainer" or The Tams ultra brilliant, magnificently soulful "Hey girl don't bother me". Modern and cross-over type sounds don't apply.

Nothing could be slower than Tony Clarke, surely! George Freeman is slower than Hal Miller, but I'm sure if they were slower than Tony Clarke, the record would not be spinning!

How about someones favourite song of ALL time Paris Blues by the brilliant Tony Middleton on Mala. On pure class this just has to be the slowest of all time. Also Mel Britt's "She'll come running back" no mention yet, and not even upbeat on the chorus!! Martin Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) Funny that Mel Britt is thought of as a slowie: the percussion and bassline are actually pretty fast. I was kind of brought up on a diet of beat ballads, but many of them make me cringe now, at least in a club context. Must say what an absolutely stunning record the Faye Crawford on RCA Victor is though: absolutely mesmeric and one I've just got to play again and again and again.
