PabloWinchester Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) I don't think that much to the overall song, but the intro to The Ambers "I Love You Baby" is my fave intro to a NS tune. Yours? Edited February 28, 2017 by PabloWinchester
The Tempest Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Not my favourite intro , but as soon as you hear those trumpets , you know that for the next 2mins and 35 secs it's a dancers dream ! 1

Have a glance over some of my posts and I blunder about all over treading on toes and trying to teach my grandmas how to suck eggs, and I'm not so new On topic I'm another that would put Ambers Potion Of Love right up amongst them. In fact the whole record is just superb.
Tobytyke Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Its got to be "Open the door to your Heart" Darrel Banks. Gets me every time and that's after 50 years of listening to it countless times. Wish I could think of something more original!

Gets me every time and that's after 50 years of listening to it countless times. Wish I could think of something more original! For me, I prefer Doni Burdicks' version on the grounds that the brass in the intro is sharper, the vocal isn't quite as good as DB but the intro is better imo. For pure in yer face kick ass excitement it's gotta be hard to beat Edwins' 'Time', intro is almost identical to the start of the theme tune to 'Enter the dragon'. There's so many great intros in Northern it's hard to pick a 'best', Shirley Ellis is pretty good, Magic night is epic, Flame n King intro is pretty good, I'm going to reserve judgement on what I think is the best one...
Speedlimit Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 here you go best intro ever imho no messing it hits you like a brick
Mod66 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Two very simple and short intros Giving that let's dance feeling Check them out Nolan Porter If I Could only be sure Clarence Carter Messing with my mind
Guest Spain pete Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 For me you can't beat hide nor hair, earl grant .tremendous intro great old stomper 🎶🎶👌
Guest Mike Gott Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 How about "Sweether Than The Day Before" - the Valentinos, or "Going To A Go Go" - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. There's so many.......
Mod66 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 All these tunes back to back would have the floor packed all night at every event I go way back, any 60s Stax or Atlanic come to mind guys I'm 68 still living for the weekend and traveling all over the country As they say ' It will never be over for me'
Stateside Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Only one for me that has been with me before the term Northern Soul even existed Kev 3
Mtay9778 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Just some of my favourite intros... Magic Night-If You and I Had Never Met Buddy Miles & California Raisins-What Does It Take Majestics-I Love Her So Much It Hurts Me Soul Bros Inc-Pyramid I could go on but that's what springs to mind 1
Bo Diddley Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Joe Hicks - Don't It Make You Feel Funky Frank Beverly - If That's What You Wanted. Ted Taylor - Somebody's Always- Barbara Lynn - I'm A Good Woman Delrays Inc - Destination Unknown I love a distinctive or dramatic into.

David Meikle Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) When That Beatin' Rhythm was first played it was the epitome of our sound. Great spoken intro followed by the Mirwood Beat. What a combination! Edited March 8, 2017 by David Meikle 1

Guest martinsbox Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Patti & The Emblems "I'm gonna love you a long long time" does it for me. Class floor filler if I ever heard one! One or two bars & the floor was packed. Edited March 18, 2017 by martinsbox Extra info, which probably no required!
Bruv Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Nice intro on the Devonnes - I'm Gonna Pick Up My Toys before the vocals kick in.
