Northern Soul Uk Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 I know it's not much to go on, but a tune just went through my head that I am sure was a Wigan Biggie, but can't remember what it is?It has the lyrics 'I got a whole lot of happiness happening in my heart', think it's called 'Happiness Happening'?? and was either a female vocal or a male with a high voice? It's not the Charades btw. Any help please?

Modernsoulsucks Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Don't really know for definite but I'd guess maybe during pop phase at Wigan ? The UK 45 to me was more a British collectible known pre-Wigan.
Northern Soul Uk Posted December 21, 2016 Author Posted December 21, 2016 It does sound very Winstanley
Davenpete Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Remember buying this and then being appalled with myself - went in the sales box pretty rapid- seem to remember there's another version also on Viva by a different group (not the one above) - ? Dx PS In fact I've just found it on youtube - Eternal Flame Edited December 21, 2016 by DaveNPete
Gointoagogo Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Thankfully I'd never heard this until this post and I have to say it is absolutely awful - even as a pop record. Was it really a Wigan biggie?
Modernsoulsucks Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 IMO not a biggie at all but played there a few times.
Bo Diddley Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 By today's standards it isn't very good. But imagine a time and place far far away where "My hearts Symphony", "Nine Times Out of Ten", "Wait a Minute" and "Joe 90" were played and danced to.......
