Simsy Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 It don't work anyway Ian. Ohh I have managed to squeezze 20 seconds out of it. That's a bit weird mate. Did you right click and save target as?
Guest Mark Cartwright Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Lou Johnson - Unsatisfied Great record - dunno why but I just can't dance to it...

Gaz Simon Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 The Saints - I'll let you slide starts off slow...speeds up...speeds up a bit more....slows down a bit etc etc etc love the record...just cant dance to it Gaz
Zed1 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 'Do what you wanna Do' Dee Dee Barnes. 'Trouble' The Agents....
Jumpinjoan Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Great I'll join you JJ - have been umming and arring about it for ages, and I packed it in the big box for Lifeline in a week or two.....will probably play at "-3" - but Lord is it fast. I have always said pitching up/down is the work of the devil... but even I'm with you on this one Steve.. I can dance to 'Watcha Gonna Do'.. 'She's Fire' etc.. but there's no way in life or death I could dance to Reggie Saddler Got to be no.1 contender for the fastest record ever don't you think? Edited January 22, 2008 by jumpinjoan
Toodarnsoulful Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Chrysler and the monarchs band - i aint gonna lose you - Je Jodi Always thought this was v fast though still one of my favourite to dance to leaves me rather wrecked, loves it...
Tommaso Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Deadbeats - No second chance (I love the song but I don't know how to dance it. "It's not even soul", someone will say.. ) I always tought the Chandlers were an easy one to dance, isn't it? Apart from the acoustic part of course..

Guest Spinning Vinyl Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Eskew Reeder - You Better Believe Me phewwyy thats fast
Richard Bayley Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Kirsty's right..... Towanda Barnes "You Don't Mean It" is a killer! Another close contender must be East Coast Connection's "Summer in the Parks", which nearly killed me when Col Wood dropped it last year at York Soul Club..... As for folks finding the Chandlers hard to dance to..... learn to count! The quiet bit is in waltz time (3/4), so if you just shuffle to a count of "one two three, one two three" during this bit you'll be fine!

Gert Mark Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Gigantor by the Dickies, Kin bedlam. Oh and Angelina oh Angelina, cant dance too well when you want to pull your own eyes out and stuff em in your ears, nails down a blackboard.

Guest barnsey Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Gary Sole Holding On, it starts of fine but by the time the end arrives you are dancing like Max Wall. To many tempo changes. spot on
Guest Matt Male Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Bah The Combinations and Towanda Barnes are practically mid tempo compared with Barbara Christian - Not Like You Boy - Brownie. Now that's fast, practically undancable.
Guest 50box Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Jackie Wilson - Higher And Higher - got to be the toughest! Could never dance to it and always ended up in knots (although I did get beat up by a couple of Bouncers to it... many years ago!) Great record though. Don`t know why anyone plays this, it`s not a proper dance beat and anyone attempting it looks like they are having a fit. A too fast one is Kittens - Aint No More Room.
Kevinkent Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Always used to have a problem dancing to Mamie Galore - It Ain't Necessary. Now I have a problem dancing to most things I have a problem reading size 2 fonts aswell. -Kev.
Billywhizz Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Rita Decosta - Don't bring me down.. love it as a tune but try and bloody dance to it... (in time I mean) easy my son
Guest minnie mouse Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 , always found fortune teller, benny spellman, a real challenge, either that or i was dancing to something completely different and only thought i was dancing to fortune teller....oh those good ole days!!!
Miss Wasperella Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 towanda barnes - you don't mean it Absolutely love this
Miss Wasperella Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I think its harder to dance to some real downbeat stuff...Many have filled the floor to super stompers but don't really know what to do when a deeeeeeeeep down funeral march,slash your wrist soul track is played...Oooooh i do like a few of them thrown in... A good few deeeep soul tracks could be heard in the 90s at all niters..There was a guy who would stand on the spot,very little movement,eyes closed and a little shiver of is upper half now and again,real emotion indeed,i loved to see him on the dancefloor as much as any of the circus acts ... I called his dance,Man going for a shit i have be known to copy that style the odd time ... Thats the point with dancing,some just think about all the fast stuff,i love to dance to soul in all its forms... Well maybe not the 300mph stuff,just a liitle to frantic for a quiet lad like me...Each to there own... I hope you can all put on deeeeeeeeeeeeep soul record at home tonight and do the "man going for shit"..close the curtains first though,people could think you are having a stroke good bless all the dancers and each to there own...Without them we would not have a scene,well not one that i and many would want... In the words of Jimmy Rix "oooooooooooooh what a feeling,you got me rockin and a reeling" I just cannot stop laughing at your description of the dance - in fact i'm crying with laughing as I read your comments Thanks for the tonic after a long day at work I needed that - more laughter please
Zed1 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 'Balla Delena' The Marketts... the Slowest NS record ever!..
Maark Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Agree that Ray Charles' I don't need no Doctor is a real toughie to dance to which makes it more of a challenge cos it's one of my favourite soul tunes. One record played at Hemel Hempstead that really caught me out was introduced by Reg (author) as one seperating the men from the boys as a dancer and then proceeded to play 'Seven rooms of gloom' by the Four Tops. Yeah right I thought, it's only a Motown track.......Well, it starts of really slow, barely jiggable, then moves into a good dance able tempo then goes bloody mad ......it's like being on one of those bucking bull things, the increase in speed either throws you off or you hang on for grim death, determined not to give up no matter how much it hurts/how stupid you look.
Bjorn Nilsson Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Little Nicky Soul - I Wanted To Tell You Fantastic song and I always dance to it but I probably look like an idiot.
Nick Hackett Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 110mph 'dancers/heart attack'...King George & Timps..Im through losin you...Don Gardner..Not gonna let you get me down...& the frantic,furious n fast Barbara Christian..Not like you boy..C'MON MIDDLETON..Triumphs..pitch it up!!
CAMBRIDGE SOUL Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 TWANS.... could dance to it in the 70's but not now........ tried at prestatyn 2 years ago ... was not easy and felt i was all over the place .... that could be normal ! must be a time/age thing as many are coming to mind that seemed easy to dance to in 77/ 78/79 but no chance now !
Guest SteveC Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 , always found fortune teller, benny spellman, a real challenge, either that or i was dancing to something completely different and only thought i was dancing to fortune teller....oh those good ole days!!! Yep - and his "This for you my love" Joan beat me to the COD'S "fire" - great record but fat boys like me are finding it tougher to dance to anything thats put on after that!!! One thats of an awkward tempo is the Gloria Taylor "Total Disaster " a few of us southerners were pushing hard around the bizarres a few years ago!! So soulful but awkward especially in the break. Doesn't stop it getting spun and they eventually started flocking to the floor when it came on.
Guest posstot Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Kelley garret Love's the only answer!!!! fost os fook!! Ray Charles You're just about to lose your clown....Theres a few toe to heel trips in that one.... Willie Kendricks Change your ways...always end up, just clappin' along after doing a mick jagger to it..(ala Freddy Starrs' royal variety performance) Also, one i've only just heard(thanks Ste) Eddie Curtis those foxes and pussycats......What a track!! i fear an impossible D,dancer though...But i ain't gonna stop when i get the chance, even if i stand there and pogo, i'll just have to move to it somehow.... Mike
NEV Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 What about that god awful record SCRATCHY -TRAVIS WOMACK CRAZY TIMES EH
De-to Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 anything these days faster than,i have no choice,j mae matthews is tough for me to dance too,
Rhino Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Maybe been posted up before But I was sat here thinking In all my time of being into Soul & visiting venues over the years What would I put down as the hardest track I ever attempted to dance too even in my yoot For me it was a record I loved to hear played out, just coul"nt choofin dance to it to save me life Pat Powdrill : Do It Just too fast Whats Yours night of the wolf-the boogie man orchestra
Steve G Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) night of the wolf-the boogie man orchestra Al Foster Band and "lady lady lady" respectively rhino Whilst on the 70s Barnaby Bye "Can't live this way" more like "Can't dance this way" Edited January 23, 2008 by Steve G
Paul R Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Even though it is one of my favourites ever, I always have problems picking up the correct beat to Mel Williams "Can It Be Me". Also the intro to the Magnificents "My Heart Is Calling" starts off a bit tricky. Paul
macca Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 The Orlons - Spinning Top Don't even think about it!! M
Pete Coulson Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 two that's been mentioned, scratchy, but i seem to femember us trying at the wheel, and defo higher and higher.
Ernie Andrews Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Just thought of another- Hang loose by Ronnie Mitchell - fantastic tune which I am going to play out next gig as I am on first but IMO impossible to dance to cost its so bloody fast Some one on here had one for sale a couple of weeks ago.
martynthejazz Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 IF YOU GOT SOUL , AND ITS A SOULFUL TUNE , FAST OR SLOW, YOU CAN DANCE TO IT.. HA. The one i dont like is a Soul Sam track, The one with the ROCKY middle section, just no soul to it, i.m.h.o. that is, martyn
Guest Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 IF YOU GOT SOUL , AND ITS A SOULFUL TUNE , FAST OR SLOW, YOU CAN DANCE TO IT.. HA. The one i dont like is a Soul Sam track, The one with the ROCKY middle section, just no soul to it, i.m.h.o. that is, martyn that'll be King Moses. I tend to play air guitar in that part.... If I've bothered to dance at all that is
ChrisOD1964 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 AL WILSON--THE SNAKE AFTER SEVERAL BOTTLES OF LAMBRINI CHRIS
Pauldonnelly Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 it rained forty days and nights...fast but not that fast, it just seems to be like 3 bars etc..all over the place if ya know what I mean... Towanda Barnes always caused probs way back then so nowadays who knows.
Jez Jones Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Deeper in Love-------The O'Jays very hard back in the day to get to grips with. Class tune though Bloody good one to listen when driving though (but not in a jam)!
Val (Chunky) Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Spade Brigade...........what are you supposed to do to that bit in the middle?.......just sway around! Edited January 25, 2008 by Val
Guest andyrattigan Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Absolutely love this record but its a bitch to dance to: BOB & FRED- ILL BE ON MY WAY. The beat isnt quite right, I can never get my feet around it.
Pete Morgan Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 As I am 50 in 1 months time I have to say Captain of my Ship- Seventh wonder When I was ateenager- No probs have to agree to all these tunes in this thread; I am 47 now but even when i was 17 i could not even get close to the Velvet satins , Pat powdrill , 7th wonder ( used to stomp to this so it was almost possible at 17) ....but in my humble opinion The Jewels takes the biscuit as the hardest for me to dance to in 30 years!!! best pete m
Guest johnnyboyuno Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 New here guys so be gentle, for me it was LJ Johnson you're magic put a spell on me JB
