Guest Spain pete Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Is it not northern enough to play out at a northern soul event ? Edited January 15, 2018 by Spain pete
Guest Shufflin Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 c'mon this is as funny as the proverbial, NS free range!
Mgm 1251 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 ...I wonder if Denise was aware that the FW recording was used on an egg commercial....couldn’t see it happening Stateside... 3
Soulsides Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 ^^^Lol. I've never actually seen that advert before..I've not watched any telly for years ,even though theres at least three of em in our house. I thought it was pretty funny. I was more shocked that I was somehow redirected to a 'Why We Don't Hear About Susan Boyle Anymore' video after the advert was over for some strange reason ! Arrgh ! From Frank Wilson and possibly the rarest Soul record of all time to Susan F#!!!n Boyle !!! 2

Guest Spain pete Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Players no 6 , brilcream , ford cortina , omo washing powder, spangles , Vesta ready meals , can you imagine if these products used so called northern soul music back in the day . would we be talking about a poxy egg advert ? 🎭🎶
Girdwoodinc Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 When I was I the States before Christmas they were using Charles Bradley on an advert, can’t remember what it was for though

Britishbarry Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 There is a version of Little Willie John I’m shakin being used on an advert at the moment. 1
Tony Turner Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 When I was in America a couple of years ago the restaurant chain ‘Chillis’ used Little Ann-Lean Lanky Daddy
Matt Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I'm not saying that I was the reason for the KFC Adverts reference Northern Soul, but a time before the adverts started I had a knock at my door in Wiltshire from a market research company. They asked if I would mind answering a few questions on fast food for a voucher to be sent on at a later date. I thought why not, the person had a laptop and showed me a few advertising videos, after each one they asked me what I thought and did I know the company. The first was for burger king as I noticed the logo, they asked would I buy more of their food, I said no chance!, the second was for Mcdonalds and I answered the same. The third was for KFC with Frank Wilson sound track, I said that it was brilliant and that I would buy more KFC certainly, they asked why and I said- top tune to hear whilst eating your food- we need more adverts like this!!! I chuckled as the market researcher left my house. When I saw the amount of KFC commercials involving soul music in the future, I was shocked- probably just a coincidence!! 2

Guest Shufflin Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 this limited offer Is NOT available in any store, have your credit card ready
Bruv Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I can remember it clearly rushing to my nearest KFC branch to sample some of their grub after hearing Laura Greene come on the box....
Rick Cooper Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 B&Q have been using Sliced Tomatoes for ages but just seen their ad and then followed straight after by some sort of sauce using Richie Barrett I Will Love You. Crazy. A chocolate bar a while back used Mean Man by Betty Harris . Assume the ad people just type a few words into YT or such like and pick a track from the results. 1

Expand that's incredibly cynical Rick, you mean someone could want to advertise McDonald's, type in big mac soul and come up with this, for example? :-) Edited January 17, 2018 by Shufflin typo
Winsford Soul Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 None of this has got nothing to do with advertising executives that are now in there 50,s wanting to get Northern soul , (their youth ) back in the spotlight. Has it ? I think so Steve
Alison H Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 This is one I’ve just seen & I like it ... not the soya sauce tho x 1

The Yank Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I just saw the strangest commercial on American tv- it was for legalzoom. It said"this is Frank, this is Frank's record store. Sure - Frank knows his Northern Soul but how to set up a legal limited liability company - not so much". They don't show any Northern 45's, the record playing isn't "Northern" but I think this is the first time I ever heard the words Northern Soul used in an American ad. If anyone wants to see it- its on youtube. Type in legalzoom commerical, and pick "The Story Of Frank". Edited January 25, 2018 by the yank
Coolnotes Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-rjN9QgA0 Bobby Angelle . Its Gotta Be That Way. There was a slightly longer spin off documentary type film to go with it.. , Think the bloke and his crew were from the Midlands ? . Looks cool. !
Coolnotes Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 This is the Shredded Wheat longer version . " Really good healthy stuff , mind and body" .. Shredded Wheat ain't bad either... !

Guest Gogs Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Took me the best part of an hour to figure out the tune in this (old age, i guess. lol)

Guest Shufflin Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 it's funk not Northern nor a product ad but check out the dance moves in this advert from 1974!

Steve S 60 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Following the recent delivery problems at KFC, their new advert will feature the Velvelettes' "A Bird In The Hand". 2
