What's your favourite End of Night finisher

[Dave West]

Apologies if this has been asked before, but what's the last record you hear before heading off home. What's your favourite finisher ? Would be interesting for promoters and soulies to respond. 

For me it's Spinners - For All We Know 

cheers , Dave 

[Zoomsoulblue]

Wade in the water - been playing it since 82 

[Frankie Crocker]

Can’t remember the title but it’s by someone called Dean... Think he used to be in a group with Jimmy and Tobi but not sure - confused really as lots of places just play Dean or Jimmy or Tobi at the end of the night.

By a country mile, and because it was always the last record at the Outrigger... :-)

Verdelle Smith - A Piece of the Sky...

[Lionelonthevinyl]

Jerry ganey....just a fool, on verve for me....ha-ha...the outrigger in brum happy days...kind regards....Rob

 

[Mgm 1251]

All time classic ender

"it's a craaaa'kerrr"...

[JohnC]

 

[Bruv]

I quite often end with the wonderful Barbara McNair's - You're Gonna Love My Baby, unless someone has requested something else.           

        

[Patto]

At Sheffield's Gas club Dave Brenton spins this one at the end of the night Real Spine tingler

I got myself one of these....but I'd never considered it to be an "ender",more of an "opener"despite the title....but yeh,it does work....great shout......

[Guest Soulatthedale]

Final record at every Soul night at Rochdale Tiffs, Gospel Classics More Love That's What We Need. Brilliant.

[Ian Stacey]

This i always thought was one of the best ever finishes heard it at the 100 club  the other i love is take me home Leicester odd-fellows last record .

[Guest]

When i used to go to allnighters it was something like "PSYCHEDELIC SOUL" - SAXIE RUSSELL!     I wanted the last record to leave me upbeat and wanting more!

Now it would be "WE GOT TO KEEP ON" - CASANOVA TWO.   Still leaves me upbeat and wanting more, but a bit easier to dance to!

Banbury Soul Club ender tends to up the ante rather than ease you out...

But in a way, it's all about the tradition isn't it? Slow, Big City, Jamaican, R&B, Funk, I'm just listing now; basically there's some great music out there, and we can all widen our interests through the focus of Northern Soul.

That's why I love Northern - because there are times when you just can't explain to someone what Northern Soul is!

 

[Geeselad]

One in a million-maxine Brown. The has always been one I've used in the past. Another favorite has to be

Harold Melvin - get out. one I've heard adey  play as last in the past and a record that will Always remind me of the 100 

[Bruv]

 The Jimmy Radcliffe Classic - Long After Tonight Is All Over, the most requested track I have played as an ender be it at Soul nights or just doing mainstream gigs.   

 

[Steve S 60]

Jimmy Ruffin - Gonna Give Her All The Love I Got.

[Andyontherock]

Living in Guernsey, we always end with "The Platter" - "Washed ashore (on a lonely Island in the sea)"

Very apt for where we live.  

It's a Guernsey soul collective anthem.

 

[Paul R]

Not the end of the night, but end of my set was Almost, Betty Lavette.

[Mickjay33]

got to be Baby Washington

[Soulsides]

 

[Girdwoodinc]

For the amount of times I've heard it played out I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Drifter...personal favourite Mr Soul (Al Scott) - What Happened to Yesterday

[Tobytyke]

I remember early/mid 70s going to Northampton cricket club disco and they always finished with "Aint No Sunshine" Grover Washington jr which seemed a strange choice but went down very well!

[Mr Fred]

Syl Johnson:-We did it

[Stevesilktulip]

When I was into northern in 74/75/76 I'd have probably said Dean Parish, Jimmy Radcliffe, California Montage and Tobi Legend in that order. Alex Lowes was our big DJ and he played all of these but sometimes an okay track called It's All Over by an artist I can't remember. Sometimes he'd play Go Now which was always disappointing.

When I started going back to northern nights during the eighties, Tobi Legend became my favourite ns record and probably still is. I started playing it in the middle of the night and I'm pleased to say others in the area have followed. I couldn't listen to Jimmy Radcliffe, I don't mind Dean Parish though it's a bit of a Snake, and I still love Young Holt.

I like the Drifter and love Timi Yuro.

I've never heard Get Out played last but I think that's brilliant.

I don't play any of the above but you'll have to come to Durhams Empty Shop, probably on the first Saturday in feb, to find out what I do play.

I sing that when i finish work! To the bemusement of anyone still sat behind me. i love hearing belita woods thats when ill stop loving you, i liked hearing corey glover someone used to end with that quote regularly, theres another tune ,the artists name of which i cannot bring to mind, she sings, its driving me driving me driving me driving me mad! Heh heh ( think there are more of them than that in the chorus build up! She, s basically describing that horrible fixation we all get when someone  we ve lost or separated from is quote the oracle, " baking our noodle". !   I cant remember what they used to finish with at the whirlygig  , as the lowered a parachute silk over the dancefloor and everyone used to sit down , getting to me , is another staple ending somewhere cant think where! I like something you can dance or sing to , so even if your not still  in full command of yer legs , you still feel as though your involved , if you know what i mean. Esther phillips just say goodbye , is a personal favourite , I need your love by clydene jackson another! Minshull always used to end with the incredibles , dave rimmer  ,timi yuro,  , keep coming back for more by lorraine rudolph would be apt, Tom page ended with i say a little prayer at the last rugby i attended which was a great choice! , i think it was theresa price suggested id probably dance to the sound of a car horn! ,( ,ive danced the sound of things i cant even describe in words so car horn, loooooads of times! The most surprising i think was as the manumission carry on at space ended they finished with  louie louie by the kingsmen,  and the surreal sight of folk wigging out with an inflatable croc as a partner, or tinsel hula skirts and  pirate hats, shrek ears, deely boppers and fake tits, , superhero  costumes and the ibiza residents themselves  a sight to behold, all giving it large! ! An ibiza moment ,  to conclude then, i dont really give a shit, but a good ender is memorable, " said someone once , about something, what were we talking about again? Remembered the female vocalist , Almeta lattimore "these memories" .

One of the stand out enders for me mainly played by Keith Minshull when he did the last spot of the night @ the George Hotel in Burslem ,Stoke-on Trent 

Timi Yuro - It'll Never Be Over For Me - it was a stampede to the floor !

Yes.

By the time IL played this,95% of all punters had already left for Wigan...those who stayed untill this record finished playing were most exhausted !!

 

[Johnny Jones]

Managed to get an extra 15/20 mins on my spot at our last do, so finished with a bit of beat ballad heaven.

Billy Barnes - Until

Ray Pollard - Darling Take me Back I'm Sorry

Shep Grant - You found my Lonely Heart a Home

Barbara Mcnair - It Was Never Like This

Big Dee Irwin  - You Satisfy My Needs

 

 

[Kev John]
