Boogaloo Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 See, that's really good tunes but for me they are totally "Mod". No? Would surprise me to hear those in a Northern room. Loads of latin tunes are played at Mod/RnB do's but I've been playing Latin at Northern clubs for years now. Tunes such as Manny Corchado, Tony Middleton, Bobby Valentin, Hector Rivera and they go down a stormer. Can't get away with too many but they are being more appreciated outside of the mod scene. Realise they're not to everyone's taste but you could say the same about RnB 6-7 years ago. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kev Moore Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 One that's been accepted on both Northern and Latin dancefloors for years is David Coleman -Drown my heart in tears- Barry. favourite of mine is Hector Riviera I love you, I want you, I need you. This has been used as a backing to a northern track -heard butch or Ady play it down the 100club once. The Hector Riviera version is too slow for a dancefloor but it definately floats my boat. one of the few latin things I've kept over the years.

Mace Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Joe Bataan - Magic Rose Posted info: I remember Carl Wynne getting this of John Evans (after a visit to Martin Coppels) in the late 80s, when he brought us back everything we asked for - Bobby Valentin etc etc I let Carl have the gold and I had the uptite 45 - not realizing this was on the flip. And I didn't see another one for 20 years !!!!!! Quite hard to find the Fania release with 'Magic Rose' on flip, as is the Fania release of 'What good is a castle' with the far superior 'PT 2' that also didn't get included on the flip of the Uptite release. 'Magic Rose' did, however, get released on Uptite, but the artist name is Naatab (Bataan backwards of course) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

mikeysoul Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just to add to this, most of the boogaloo stuff came about because the young New York Latino's were growing up in Spanish Harlem listening to mambos and the soul music out of Harlem itself. The Ray Pollard vocalised a lot of these things, Kenny Seymour from Little Anthony and the Imperials was the vocalist on the Harvey Averne sides and of course Tony Middleton sang on Spanish Maiden which came from Chuito and the Latin Uniques LP on Speed produced by my good friend Bobby Marin who spent so many hours at the apollo that when I mentioned James Brown, he said he got bored of seeing him there (though he also stated that he could never get tired of watching Jackie Wilson). This fantastic area of soul music will be focused on in an BGP / Ace comp called The Soul Of Spanish Harlem due out in January. US Fania have an amazing comp of Joe Bataan's soul sides for the label available. This includes tracks from his 'Singing Some Soul' LP, his original demo version of Gypsy Woman and his original take on Continental Square Dance called Latin Soul Square Dance which is earlier, better and only previously available on a very rare promo. https://www.amazon.com/Under-Streetlamps-An...3626&sr=1-1 Dean Is Si Cheeba still involved with a proposed SPEED records compilation? I lent him my copy of one he hadn't heard of (Al Gonzalez - I love you too much) a while back. Went to Crossfire with him last weekend but forgot to ask. I particularly like Joe Bataan. Special girl, Unwed mother and Young, Gifted & Brown being favourites. A great voice I picked up his Gypsy Woman in about '86 from a local shop I still frequent. Unfortunately I didn't pick up copies of 'I want a chance for romance' and 'Use it before you lose it' that were stocked at the time. Both expensive tunes now when & if they turn up. Good luck on your new night Warren Mike Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rick Scott Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Latin's fine. So is Jazz, Funk, C&W and lots more. but none of them are Northern Soul. Cal Djader - Soul Sauce (jazz?)
