HOLD ON HELP IS ON THE WAY-DAVIS AND TYLER.

Yep, I'd agree with that call, closely followed in no particular order by Milton Wright & The Terra Shirma Strings, Emannons Orchestra, Steve Karmen Orchestra, and a tune I've not heard out in years RPM Generation's Rona's Theme :lol:

Always had difficulties with instumentals. Sure enough some have a good 'Northern' beat, but soul is something quite different in my view.

Has no one mentioned the feckin' Bruvvers, or Eddie Bishop? - oh dear :g: !

I don't see anything wrong at all with instrumentals.

connie clarke my sugar baby used to bring on

that unmistakeable buzz at the back of the head.

audrey slo on swan was a real floorpacker at the

fleet, loughborough, coalville etc.

I reckon instrumentals need a major rebranding campaign.

admittedly, there was a lot of dross played, especially thru 78,

but the wheel, torch & early wigan period ushered in

some true scene classics.

what I don't understand is this business

that it can't be soul if it ain't got a vocal.

tell that to the funk brothers or the meters!!

Yes, well it was my 40th birthday - so considering a lot of my records were thrown in backwards in haste, I did well under the influence of Guiness. I thought it was funny, but Karen gave me a bollocking for admitting my mistake on the mic :ohmy:

I don't tend to like instrumentals, but one I keep meaning to throw on early doors is:

Movin' On - Larry Brown & Co.

It's the flip and instrumental of "Call On Me" by The Dynells on Vent - and good enough to stand on its own (imho).

instrumentals....shocking, cant stand them, give me a quality vocal everytime, no need for instrumentals with so much great stuff out there :thumbsup:

I have always loved instrumentals both to dance to and to listen to. My favorites are;

Van McCoy - Sweet and easy

Earl Wright - Thumb a ride

Mike Post - Afternoon on the Rhino, and Bubblegum breakthrough

San Remo Strings - All turned on

Doni Burdick - Bari track

Magic disco machine - Control tower (who were they)?

and last but definately not least

Luthor Ingram - Exus trek (was he part of the large 'Ingram' family that also produced jazz funk in the 80s?)

98c plus tax - Detroit City Limits (okeh) and
