Soulboyrecords Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Not sure if this has been done before, thought it might be interesting, and draw a wide range of responses ? Time will tell ! For me there are loads of lyrics that epitomise the joy, sadness, excitement and energy of the scene. I, like so many, was dragged along to my first allnighter by a friend. I was going to local clubs, loving Tamla and the better Disco and Funk stuff in the early 70's and he said I know this banging place where they play the good stuff all night. The start of a 40 year love affair ! So I'm kicking this off with a tune that I think will be divisive, but I love it, I can still see the floor at the Ritz bouncing as everyone exploded onto it when the first bars of this kicked off... Flaming Emeralds - Have some everybody. If the music makes you feel good, Next time you ought to bring a friend, Just tell 'em where the music takes you, You come and you'll be there with them
Supercorsa Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Out on the Floor, surely has to feature somewhere.
Paul R Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I was going to say Out On The Floor, but will settle for the Major, with Everybody Loves A Good Time. Paul
Tommyo Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 NF Porter for me ''You gotta keep on keeping on''

25miles Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 music is such an attraction.................... to move my feet is my first reaction cos that's the only way to get satisfaction.............. watch me now as I go into action !!
Davenpete Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) The Valentines - or Wilma Redding 'There Is A Place' which is a British Pye recording and lyrically SO about our sort of scene it must've been written about it (it's a bit tacky though - think Dave Macaleer had something to do with it????)... Or of course Backstreet. Dx Edited November 17, 2015 by DaveNPete

Dean Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Passing seasons over fade awayInto misty clouds of autumn greyAs I sit here looking at the streetLittle figures quickly moving feetI'm just a pebble on the beach and ISit and wonder whyLittle people running aroundNever knowing whyLife is just a precious minute babyOpen up your eyes and see it babyGive yourself a better chanceBecause time will pass you right on byThis big old world is spinning like a topCome and help me pal and make it stopAll you have to do is live for nowCome along with me and I'll show you howTake my hand I'll show you how to liveWhy wait until tomorrow?Take my hand I'll lead the wayTo a brighter day

KevH Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Walk right on in Stretch out your arms Let the lovelight shine On my soul, baby, and Let love come running in You know that I needed you I've needed you a long, long time My pride is too much for me, baby And I'm about to lose my mind [Chorus:] Walk right on in Let your love come running in Open the door to your heart, baby Open the door to your heart Open the door to your heart And let love come running in Let your love come running in Let it flow like the river Let it shine like the light Take all my mind and soul, baby Why don't you give it sight I'm trying to Keep from loving you And I've been loving you A little too long Darling, darling You've been so sweet to me That's what keeps my Love so strong [Chorus:] I need you to stand by me Let your love come running in Let it flow like the river...

Ik001 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Got to this one surely?? https://youtu.be/n7PY0xaH85M
Winsford Soul Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Sam & kitty. I've got something good. Sums up everything about the Northern Soul scene. In my humble opinion of coarse Steve
Geeselad Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I always thought 'slowly moulding' was very apt for the NS scene.

Davenpete Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) So did I but I got effing yank spellcheck confusing the issue - have to watch that as one of my biggest clients makes all the chemicals for dry rot etc treatment. Mr Laskey's 'Welfare Cheese' would be a good one for a few venues. Hope you and yours are doing well. Dx Edited November 19, 2015 by DaveNPete
Guest Dave Turner Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I'm with Shinehead on this one. Richard Temple - That Beatin' Rhythm and I'd also add Major Lance - The Beat Define for me what the traditional Northern scene was all about.
