Guest Mark Holmes Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) Dust My Broom - Ike and Tina Weak Spot - Ruby Johnson Grab Your Clothes - Minnie Epperson Gritty, dirty, mmmmmmmmmm Oh and don't forget "I'm a good woman" - Barbara Lynn Edited August 30, 2008 by Mark Holmes
Guest Matt Male Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Don Gardner - My Baby Likes To Boogaloo Baz I'm not sure about Don Gardner, it's pretending to be dirty but it isn't really. It's a rich girl slumming it down the pub, but try and get her knickers off and you'll get nowhere... Also a few others on here are uptempo but not what i'd consider dirty gritty soul.
Tony Smith Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Mark Lloyd - When I'm gonna find her does it for me No way!
Prophonics 2029 Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 No way! Hey Tone wonder if he is saying the record itself is dirty and needs cleaning.
Tony Smith Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Jackey Beavers 'Love That Never Grows Old'. Amaaaaaaaaaazing!! OH YEAH!
Tony Smith Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 anybody mentioned John and the Wierdest - both sides? they don't come much rougher than that surely? No Time is the toppermost!
Tony Smith Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 oooohhh &.......just back from a soul nite so I'll have to wake the memory cells up but to add to earlier post Don Gardner - My Baby Likes To Boogaloo Betty O'Brien - She'll Be Gone Harvey - Anyway You Wanna KTF Baz Sorry but, these are not the thing I'm talkin' 'bout
Tony Smith Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I had a good time - Little Eddie Taylor [ Peacock ] , AC Reed - My babys been cheating [ Cool ] the dirty little buggers !! Best ,Eddie Little Eddie Hubbard more like, you know exactly what it is!
Tony Smith Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Great handle.....more raunchy R'n'B is something I lean towards & is always guranteed to get me on the floor.......soul in it's purest form, as it should be sounding like it's recorded in your aunties toliet with total passion, not like the total tripe being purported to be the 'new' northern soul on another thread...but that is another story. Vernon Garrett - Shine It On Otis Redding - Lovin' By The Pound Lorretta Williams - Baby Cakes Lee Garrett - I Can't Break This Habit Peggy paxton - It Ain't What I Do It's The Way I Do It Billy Gayles - I'm Hurtin' Jimmy Robins - I Can't Please You Lee Rogers - My One & Only Miss Lavell - Stop These Teardrops Barbara Lynn - I'm A Good Woman no KTF Baz It's not raunchy R'nB , it's dirty! Baby Cakes is the one out of this list

Matt I think you got it right-on there

soulfulsaint Posted August 31, 2008 Author Posted August 31, 2008 In true Soul Source style 'Dirty Northern' has already split into two warring camps. Those that see it as a term for gritty down-home R&B style northern ('Dirty Northern' © Tony Smith) and those that have foccussed on the sexually explicit songs, which frankly I have always thought of as 'Horny Northern.' Is there anyone out there who can really get this going with a "post-Stafford modern style horny northern" surely Russ, Steve G, Simon or Robin S can come up with the choooon? For now - - What is 'Dirty Northern'? discuss?

Guest Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) Is it me or is this record spinning backwards as well. if you watch closely Prophonics, about 1:20 into the record the label looks like a video of Keb Darge dancing Edited September 1, 2008 by mikecook

This quite a difficult task........but wondering if Dolly Gilmore fits the bill.......funkeeeee 7ts Sweet, Sweet Baby is pretty sleazy in production, but not quite sure if it fits the bill completely ....................thinking cap on now. Russ
Guest Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Marjorie Black "One more Hurt" Johnnie Taylor "Just ain't good Enough" Mitch Ryder "I'd rather go to Jail" Mary Wells "Can't you see You're losing me" Dave Mitchell "the Trip"

'Come on train' not dirty???????? Saxie Russell????? Turn your hearing aid up mate! This isn't just about RnB trax?
Guest Matt Male Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 'Come on train' not dirty???????? Saxie Russell????? Turn your hearing aid up mate! This isn't just about RnB trax? They're fast and they're raunchy (well Saxie Russell is), but we're talking down and dirty and gritty soul here. Curtis Mayfield and The Ohio Players about as dirty as a nun in a chastity belt. I prescribed Bobby Bland - Honey Child to correct your hearing.

Play the B side of Move on up & tell me that's NOT dirty funky SOUL music? Go on I dare ya! NO I double dare ya!!! Mind u a Nun in a chastity belt ooooerrrr, just a little bit dirty!
gazman Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I'm going to follow on from where Andy left off a couple of posts back with some more Buddy Lamp, ' I wanna go home' - Wheelsville and 'My Tears' - Double L also; Big Mac - That's the way to reat your woman - Jewel Bill Johnson - Ain't never gonna die - Jocida Bobby Powell - Do something for yourself - Whit

Go on I dare ya! NO I double dare ya!!! Mind u a Nun in a chastity belt ooooerrrr, just a little bit dirty! The B side of Move On Up? That would be the rest of Move On Up off the 'Curtis' album? That's jazz in my opinion... Most of the things on this thread i wouldn't call R&B, even Jimmy Robins. To me it's all gritty early soul. If you were to say 60s was dirtier than 70s i'd probably agree. Edited September 1, 2008 by Matt Male

The b side to the original release (Swirly label) does continue the track but it ain't jazz? Thelonius Monk= Jazz, John Coltrane= Jazz! Curtis Mayfield= Dirty Soul yeeaaah!

pogo paul Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Surely the Daddy of this category (and maybe any category) Eddie Parker - I'm Gone You can actually hear him spit venom as he sings. Agree with that and "I love you baby" for another one
Guest Nik Mak Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I'm just kidding you on mate... Ditto!

Marc Forrest Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Well, for a so-called "Dirty Northern" track (leaving R&B and 7ts aside) it does not only to have be gritty, I am sure most will agree that the lyrics also have to be at least say "tasty"...if not already explicit. So with that in mind I`ll open my box and play you Little Stanley Outasight Loving Dewey Black Takin Love Where I Find It Don Gardner Tighten Up Your Love Bone Lee Shot Williams Love You Now Pay Later Lee Rogers Sock Some Love Power ..box closed. Over to you
Tomagnus Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 People seem to have quite different ideas of what the term means here.. My interpretation of "Dirty Northern" would be stuff like: Magnetics - Lady In Green (and 'Heart...' as well) Arthur Willis - The Hurting Is Over Headliners - Looking For A Love Otis Brown - Southside Chicago Caressors - I Can't Stay Away Donna King - Take Me Home The Agents - Trouble
Guest posstot Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 sorry mate, had a listen to the flip and it is sooooo not dirty - in fact it could almost qualify for the 'ballads' thread yes, just played it after i posted the thread...would suit the ballad thread though. His voice is dirty though!!
