Tomangoes Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I like the term and oddball oddities we've got in the history books. I' ll name one..please name more! Ed 2
Roburt Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) I love lots of dancers with a jazzy tinge ... but am never sure why some became big on the scene, whilst others never did ... Ones that took off included the Dynatones, Cal Tjader "Soul Sauce", Spooner's Crowd "2 In the Morning", Ramsey Lewis "Wade In The Water", "In Crowd" & others, Soulful Strings "Burning Spear", Markeys "Last Night", Phil Upchurch "You Can't Sit Down" & more. Then you've got tracks such as Paul Humphrey "Cochise", Commodores "Human Zoo", Brass Construction "Movin" and similar jazz funk styled items. There were also the very bluesy cuts that were big 60's plays at places like the Wheel; KoKo Taylor "Wang Dang Doodle", Little Milton "Ain't No Big Deal / Who's Cheatin Who", Jimmy McCracklin "the Walk" & the like.

Good Question, I have a copy of the 7' press on HMV from a few years back only coz i liked it so just played at home, maybe been played out on Northern soul Scene, not sure, it would take a DJ with big Balls to spin it but it does have that feel to it, love it 1

Guest woolie mark Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I went to a Casino oldies allnighter once and On Broadway by George Benson packed the dancefloor. To this day I'm still bemused by this.
Joesoap Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Great, great record. Soul inflected rock really rather than soul. David Cassidy did a version which is also great,
Joesoap Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Sounded like nothin' else at the time but worked so well. Still an all time fave. 2
Joesoap Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Does this ever get played these days? Chinese trappings and a mandolin solo! Edited July 2, 2018 by JoeSoap
Joesoap Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 This was definitely played quite a lot at one stage... 1
Tomangoes Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Well I first heard this as a kid on the Sunday world service radio we always had on before dinner......probably 69 to 72 and as it's unique it always struck a chord..

jam66 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Not that weird but certainly out of left field when one of the Kingspinners used to play it. At least one time maybe more, wish I could name and shame lol. When you think of the stuff they had and the others being played at the time, grates on me now even worse.
Guest Gogs Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Always thought that this one was a bit different, but i loved it and eventually managed to get a copy. Edited July 5, 2018 by Gogs
Tomangoes Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 I mean what is this all about? As a 14 year old wanna be NS Freak...you had to go along with it, but seriously, this is music you could only really appreciate if you were there and surrounded by devotees who made it a monster.... Ed 2
