Guest funkygoose Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hello, Some of you may remember my previous posts asking for soulies to answer questions for my PhD research into ageing music fans. Thanks very much if you responded. I'm after a bit more help please. I'm currently writing up my research findings and am trying to think of a catchy title for my chapter on northern soul. Are there any northern soul songs about getting old/ageing? Any help greatly appreciated

Are there any northern soul songs about getting old/ageing? Any help greatly appreciated How about Old Age by Louis Jordan on Tangerine. Great record. Flip to What I Say. It's more R&B than Northern Soul but it will at least give your thread a bump!!!
Suzannek Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 The old grey matter cannot think at the moment all I can think of is Jerry Jackson - "Time" on Kapp (dunno if would put it into Northern Soul genre). Suz x
John Al Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Are there any northern soul songs about getting old/ageing? Any help greatly appreciated Marva Lee - Old and Grey Brilliant sound and relevant indeed! John.
vaultofsouler Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 An obvious one, title wise, and an "anthem" to boot.... Time Will Pass You By (Tobi Legend)....
Guest funkygoose Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Some good ones here, thanks folks. The hard bit will be choosing which one to go for. Keep 'em coming if you think of anymore.

Are there any northern soul songs about getting old/ageing? Any help greatly appreciated "Time marches on", by Lainie Hill? The Imperial Wonders "Just a dream" has a line in it that fits the bill: "Me in bifocals, you'll have silvery hair" Cheers Nick
