Maark 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 Welcome Johnnyboyuno! What a shite first post! (Only joking!)
Guest mrs norman maine Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) My favourite tune that I can't get my shambling legs co-ordinated to is The Hesitations 'Is this the way to treat a girl?' Close runners-up are Melba Moore 'TMT' and Candi Staton 'IHTMTC', both of which have already had honourable mentions on this thread. Oh and the Exits' 'Another Sundown in Watts'. and....finally, Esther.... any version of "Your love's got me". I still have a terrible memory of a game, though poorly executed, attempt to dance to it at Ady's pre-Cleethorpes Yarmouth weekender many moons ago. Never again, though at least it gave Sean Chambers (RIP) one of the biggest laughs of his life. Edited February 9, 2008 by mrs norman maine

Miss Wasperella 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 oooh now then I've not heard that one for a good few years - do like it though
De-to Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 how did we ever dance to the jewels,we got togetherness??? must have been about as fast as it got in the mid 70s imo, , https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Jewels_...ogetherness.ram
Kjw Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Benny Harper - My Prayer Jerry Washington - Don't Waste My Time
Tony Smith Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 that'll be King Moses. I tend to play air guitar in that part.... If I've bothered to dance at all that is I thought it was Aerosmith
Chris L Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 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 Nothing compares to you - Velvet Satins Chris L (he's a got a velvet satin backside ;-)
Chris L Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Nothing compares to you - Velvet Satins Chris L (he's a got a velvet satin backside ;-) I'd better give the easiest choon to dance to, otherwise I'll be sending post complaining about the thread being "negative" "Arrest me - Jamo Thomas" this regular beat-nick even gets my lumbering frame a movin'............................................................................ ... Chris L
Sanquine Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Towanda B agree can be a hard one - but managed it a few time's... Chandler's can see why listed in this thread - but managed the break by keeping the beat in my head n turning round to it.. Quite a few old stomper's listed that I had endless fun on the dance floor too... seeing who could keep going to the end:D For me I've alway's found "Greater Experience - Don't forget to remember" an odd beat to dance too..
Kev Cane Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Reggie Saddler Combo - Hear My Song - Panther I challenge all who go to Wolverhampton on Sat to prove me wrong! The reason I am replying on Joans quote is because I can remember 20 Years ago talking to Joan about the record I am going use as an example for this thread. It was at the 100 club and I was talking to her about The International Kansas City Playboys version of "Quittin Time" on Wheelsville, what do you know a few moments later it comes on, I am straight up, within 20 seconds I could feel the imaginary "shepherds crook" around my neck dragging me off the floor, "big big mistake".

Steve G Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 that'll be King Moses. I tend to play air guitar in that part.... If I've bothered to dance at all that is But in the carver copy I let Sam keep he has edited down the air guitar. The original is longer and better I know it's too "hard edged" for some to like
Guest Scarborosoul Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Ones i loved to dance too but cant now: Steve Karmen - Breakawayyyyyyyy all those breaks fcuking brilliant!! Terrible Tom - We were made for each other Mason Williams - Cant remember the title but very strange and superb to dance too Jackie Wilson Soul Galore ....Feck me!!! Youngblood Smith - You can split Nitewatch - Lips to yr heart Ones i can and do: Valentinoes - AAAAAAGH to good for words Ray Agee - im losing again Excuses - Trickbag Jelousy - Contours thanks to (Chalky) and just to add one of my favs Charles Sheffield - your voodoo working jewas im foot tapping just sat here. RICK Edited February 1, 2008 by Scarborosoul
Guest martyn Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 How about 'Dance of Love-Jetsons & Tangiers ? Must be as fast as the Jewels but longer & without the break in the middle.I used to struggle with it when I was 18-at 48 no chance

Guest mel brat Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Off the top of my head; Cindy Scott - "Time Can Change A Love" (very tricky and awkward rhythm I always found) Linda Jones - "You Hit Me Like TNT" (ditto) Ambers - "I Love You Baby" (fabulous full-on production, but the beat just confuses my feet!) Bobby Garrett - "My Little Girl" (way too fast for me nowadays, sadly) Love 'em all nonetheless, particularly the Ambers side, so I'd definitely feel impelled to "have a go" anyway! PS. Brainstorm's - "Lovin' Is Really My Game" (the full length mix) Coroner's verdict: "Suicide by dancing"!
Guest mel brat Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 ...The International Kansas City Playboys version of "Quittin Time" on Wheelsville, what do you know a few moments later it comes on... Yup, fabulous record.
Csta Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 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. ...and the who who song is even tougher!

Guest JJMMWGDuPree Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Down to the nightclub (Bump City) - Tower of Power. Actually I personally never had a problem with it, it was everyone else. Sometimes it was like only me and my sister were capable of dealing with anything that wasn't strictly 4/4. Or maybe we were just the only ones with copies of the record...
Guest mel brat Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) - "My Little Girl" - "Lovin' Is Really My Game" (the full length mix) - "You don't mean it" - Give me such an adrenalin rush can't wait to get on the dance floor - love em actually kinda think I love most of em fast........ Yeah, I get the old adrenaline rush hearin' 'em too - but I reckon that's what'll do for me in the end, sure 'nuff! Can think of worse ways to go though... Coroner's verdict: "Overdose of the Ambers!" Edited February 2, 2008 by mel brat
