Kenb Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 hope it's not be on thread before? (Bobbi & Michi) The Sound of Soul ‘Wrapped Up Tight’, JOSIE 972. The A side is ‘Stranger in Paradise’ - a popular song from the musical Kismet (1953), and is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. There must be other generally known NS releases to have an earlier first written date than this. What are they? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Davenpete Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 When I bought a boot of the Sherrys my and was plying it in my bedroom whilst coming in to land my mum bounced in saying 'ooh I remeber this from tye war'... Another one was Goodnight Irene. Hate the record, but as biggies go how about Can't Help Loving Dat Man? It's from Porgy & Bess - Gershwin 1935.

Frankie Crocker Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Something of a quirky thread this. Is it a trick question? At risk of sounding too pedantic, as Northern (as we originally regarded it to be) was the Motown influenced local label spinoffs in the 60's, particularly the later pre-Los Angeles era, the vintage sounds were mainly generated between 1966 and 1969. Most of the local labels, and those of the majors for thst matter, did not have a date on them in any case. If we are talking 45's on vinyl, up-tempo classic Northern, with a date on the label, I think I would plump for a Detroit release produced by the moonlighting Motown house band musicians, maybe in 1966. For the record, Phil's Wall of Sound tunes have been excluded as being too white, too teeny, too girly and Phil was unavailable to comment. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dayo Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Wade in the water is a very old plantation work song which apparently offered advice to runaway slaves how they might avoid capture by bloodhounds; you've got to wade in the water.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
