Definitely a minefield of choice, after all these years the most instant call to arms to these ears is The Twans - I can"t see him again.

No prisoners at that opening.

Salvadors , Stick by me Baby,  South Side Chicago ghetto vibes, forget your dance hall memories, and appreciate what these records were really meant for and about  Kev

Another for the bassline initially, then those piano stabs, so atmospheric  one I remember from the 80's again with those evocatively atmospheric piano chords

Had to laugh Still diggin,  Harold Melvin especially "Get out" is the opposite of what i think the posters thread question was😆, Both great songs though🙂

Yes, you are infact correct, I failed to see the bit about 'before the singing starts' perhaps the lyrics play a major part in my appreciation of soul, hense my oversight. Not sure I would call it the opposite, just a misinterpretation of the thread.

Betty Lloyd- I'm catching on

Much the same, in regard to gettin on with business, but Bud Harper's better by a country mile! 😏 lol

Maybe we should put the best on this thread to a vote, we can do that, it would be quite an accolade.

Is anyone doing the old poll chart , isn't that 3 now for Tony Clarke , Landslide. ?

 

 

Surely it's going to be Mello Souls? if there was a vote. Youd have to count the likes also.

My alltime #1 Northern tune. That intro is like a warning bell to get on the dancefloor immediately.

Thanks mate good to know some people of a certain age are still up at this time meaning me of course as you must be quite young in comparison to this old git . My Other half does Facebook suppose I should really get up to date and just get on with it, but I’m just a stubborn old git. 
just to get back on track 

all of a sudden Jeanette Williams

i never knew Eddie Foster

Baby don’t you weep Edward Hamilton and the arabians

Zoo the Human Zoo The Commadores

Manifesto James Lewis and the case of tyme

Come on train Don Thomas    First played Everywhere with the three plucked violin strings finish that everyone used to play with their hands in the air at Wigan Samantha’s and everywhere not the cold no strings finish . Some time later they started playing the cold finish version and said it was the original, no where near as good in my opinion. So how did the alleged boot come out before the original bizarre but true
