Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Anyone know any Northern Soul birthday tunes? Got a mate of Bearsy and mine bringing his girlfriend to our next night on her birthday,and wants us to play a tune for her-any suggestions? "Happy Soul Birthday" by Robert Murphy (Bobby Wells) on Romur. It's not really Northern but it's got a nice lollop to it. Only lasts about a minute and a half, too. Should be easy enough to pick up cheaply. TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Tune Weavers " Happy Happy Birthday Baby " U.S. Casa Grande # 4037 / U.S. Checker # 872 , both released in 1957 . As you will gather with the year , the side is doo - wop .

Guest soul_hull Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 buy a 45 of kool and the gang 'celebrate', play it at 33rpm, and cover it up as 'your special day' by Bobby Card and the Hallmarks. on Birthday records. going rate $600. then give them them the vinyl as the present, saying it took weeks to track it down.

Dazcymru Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 "It's your birthday" by R Kelly. Not Northern but soulfull and very girlie. If it doesn't get you a promise then nothing will!!!!!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Immediately thought of Robert Murphy on Romur (Mentioned earlier by Tone) but the MUST play 'Soul Birthday' tune has got to be "Just My Soul Responding" by Smokey Robinson which kicks off with the "Happy Birthday" song and melody before it glides into an ultra soulful mid ballad. Not 'Northern' but a proper Birthday tune for a Soul lover. sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Baby Washington has a happy birthday record on Chess, she's singing about how she's sad to not be with her man on his birthday. There is a birthday record by a group called "friends." There's also Stevie Wonder's big hit in the US in the 80s. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bjorn Nilsson Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 This thread reminds me a couple of years ago when me & my girlfriend was celebrating our first year together. One of my friends told the dj (Heikki H from Finland) and he played The Bitter & The Sweet - I Won't Have Any Babies For You for the happy couple!
