For years smokers never bothered me and they don't bother me now. At Middleton it was fookin freezing out side and just plain daft to see so many people have to go out side, the Northernsoul scene is full of naughty people doing naughty things all night so why don't we just be naughty and smoke inside? I don't smoke by the way....... It clashes with my speed.

Wah wow doo doop be ddopy dooh diddle whoo whooo whooooooo eeee they don't write lyrics like that any more! Here's the question, in my hand I have a single by Second City Sound, on the "B" side is "The Dream of Olwyn" and on the A side is A Touch Of Velvet & Sting Of Brass, but what was played on the Northernsoul scene? Mood Mosaic or Second City Sound?? I know one version was played at the Wheel in 1967 and it was also a Wigan Casino sound. I must admit that it is one of my all time favorites and I never get tired of hearing its haunting melancholy tune, I love it. A Touch Of Velvet & Sting Of Brass - Second City Sound Mood Mosaic - A Touch Of Velvet A Sting Of Brass Mods, please don't freekin move this just coz it has a media clip on....... Hi to every one I met at Blackpool and hi to every one I met at Middleton and mods please don't move this coz I mentioned a venue.

These Things Will Keep Me Loving You by Diana Ross Can some one please e-mail me afsc50@hotmail.com this file please. XXX

Was any of his stuff played on the scene I wonder? I did hear on the grape vine that George Benson and Kenny are indistinguishable when playing On Broadway.

Phil all soul forums dry up, go around in circles and some times get a bit up them selves but most of the time its just knobbers like me with too much time on the key boards. There are real people on list who do care about other people and I hope that you are OK and just want a break. If you are in the shit then please don't suffer on your own, there are a lot of good people on list with huge hearts and a wealth of experience so e-mail or send a personal message via this means. You probably won't get any answers but a shoulder or an ear are some times enough. If you just want a break then just leg it and come back soon.

Why was this moved?

Reg, just seen the Latino thread that you started and the first track you posted up Hector Rivera - Do it to me is brilliantttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt! please post it up again.

The other day I posted a thread on Cal Tjader's brilliant Soul Sauce that was moved for lord knows what reason? Any way I am now convinced that The Soul Source Thought Police are now watching me so I will move swiftly along to the subject of my next post..................... Latin Soul, Cal Tjader's Soul Sauce gives you a real taste of latino vibe and there are others that have "Crossed over" from that genre to Northernsoul. Ricardo Ray - Nitty Gritty is an absaloute peach of a track that I'm sure would make a coma patient's foot tap! Again I have never heard this played at a venue but I would love to see it get some floor time. Shirley Ellis - The Nitty Gritty is an exellent track as well but in my opinion lacks the explosive energy as the Ricardo Ray version and I thin k it was recorded live, which one is the original I do not know? Shirley recorded the track in 1963 and Ricardo Ray in 1968 this would suggest that Shirleyn is the original but I am not convinced as it is a step away from her norm although she was regarded as a bit of a novelty act, any Shirley Ellis spotters out there? My next Latin sound is The Showmen - Our Love Will Grow, Latino? You tell me, but I hear the beat. Johnny Caswell - You Don't Love Me Anymore Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up Gil Scott-Heron - The Bottle Doug Banks - I Just Kept on Dancing Any others or has my ear gone tits up?

Pete, rodger that ref the Funk Brothers, they are "undissable". Did you clock Osama Bin Laden going mental chicken oriental on the bongos? Brilliant musicians all of them and makin it look so easy, I was a mong on the recorder at school.

Fromage frais Pete, fromage frais :-)

Download Video Youtube Link This is one of those tracks that still makes me kinda go ooh when you hear the complexity of the music and the sheer joy to the ear. The xylophone gets right under your skin and burns deep into your memory banks, you aint ever forgetting this tune! Loved by Jazz Heads and Soulies alike it gives off a resinous of sophistication that the Funk Brothers would die for. I can never ever remember hearing this played at an allnighter and I only guess it was a Wigan sound? The last time I heard it was Keb Darge bombing the The Altstadt in Dusseldorph with it as a warmer to his funky set, it went down like a tramp on chips.

Just use Google and Youtube, type in Northernsoul and Northern Soul and surf. https://www.nightowlclub.com/ this is the best place to start The Soul Club Jukebox web site is brilliant and free!! https://www.soulclub.org/home.html https://www.soul-memorabilia.myby.co.uk/ THE SOURCE FOR NORTHERN SOUL BADGES, POLO-SHIRTS, STICKERS AND MUCH MORE. There are of course many others, all linked from each other. The Soul Source site is not the best place to start, its more of an intermediate site and can appear a little daunting so don't be put off. Happy surfing and remember that the UK has music and a scene both get a little complex for those on the out side looking in but there are enough people on The Soul Source site to give you a good explanation on all concepts of our scene.

Chalky are you telling me Jackie and Edwin are both dead???? How did this happen?? Was it a dreadful car accident??? :-( Sorry folks, thought it was a wish list thread of who you would like to see by no longer can.

Northernsoul Time capsule A time capsule is a historic cache of goods and/or information, usually intended as a method of communication with people in the future. Time capsules are sometimes created and buried during celebrations such as a World Fair, cornerstone laying for a building or other event. They can also be unintended caches such as at Pompeii. The phrase "time capsule" has been in use since about 1937, but the idea is as old as the earliest human civilizations in Mesopotamia. You have ten items you can select to represent The Northern Soul Scene for future generations. The items are to be sealed inside a container and the buried for one thousand years. We expect the future humans to be able to read watch and listen to every thing enclosed and we want them to understand as much about the Northern Soul Scene as possible. You can select anything you want as long as it will fit inside the average size suit case you should include an explanation as well. I would go for; A circle skirt as worn by the girls Big baggy trousers, 40" flares My old Clarks Polyveldt shoes Brut aftershave Johnson's baby talk for making the floor slippery My old sports bag for my change of cloths amphetamine sulphate naughty but has to be included The Snake by Al Wilson I hate the record but it seams to represent the scene, like it or not. How can I tell her by Curtis just so there is a bit of confusion with the Snake A patch with a soul fist that says "keep the faith" cheesy I know but kinda works. I didn't get room for the records, you can use your suit case size space for this if you want. .........................

Jackie Wilson He is my favorite artist and one with so much more. If I could be totally greedy I would love to see Jackie Wilson along with Edwin Starr, I saw Edwin, like others, so many times I didn't appreciate him at the end, so I would love to hear him do his thing on the same bill as Jackie Wilson. Imagine hearing "Backstreet", "I have faith in you" along side "Whispers getting louder" and "I'm the one to do it" plus all the other wonderful tracks that give you goose bumps, a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye.

nice tats

I remember some of it..... I think there where a couple of patches or even a t-shirt with this on? It was deffo when the Pepsi add was on the cinema, it started with a glass of ice then the Pepsi pouring over with the backing chant....... Lip smacking thirst quenching ace tasting. Motivating good buzzing cool talking high walking fast living ever giving cool fizzing ... Pepsi. The northernsoul chant went some thing like.... Hand shaking friend making hand clapping record spinning cool dancing record collecting northernsoul?

Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You. Ouch, when I first heard it I was blown away but now its like fingers down a blackboard! Gladys Knight & The Pips - No One Could Love You More. This used to get me on the dance floor now it just seams to drown on and on and on and on and on. What was your once faves that now make ya cringe.

A Taste Of Honey - I Love You This blows me away every time, any one got a file of it?? Is this Modern Soul? Did it, should it get any plays??? https://skyhigh-mizell.bravehost.com/ILoveYou.mp3

Not too sure if the "Caisters Crew" and The Jazz Funk Fans would like to categorise most of the stuff on the list as "Disco", I suppose all records played to a paying audience are "Disco"? But this list hardly represents the Friday night and Saturday night chicken in a basket crowd?

Rather shitty day today and needed a fix of Stella so I do hope I am not slurring my keyboard? Drove past Canclow the other day and thought about how lucky we all are to have such a rich Northernsoul vein running through Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, Mexborough, Swinton, Sheffield and Barnsley. It honestly blows me away the diversity of our little Yorkshire Pudding Scene (Vault if soul lads remember that). I know there will be other little enclaves with the same love for rare soul music as ours, and I am just taking the pee pee out of some of the very special people that I have the honour to call my friends when I say Lurkers. I watched with great interest as South Yorkshire Soul established it's self on the map with a real passion and love for our music. I can go to the Earl of Doncaster and be educated as if I had just joined the scene, I can go to The Vault of soul boys do's and experience the groove and kick back at Drax with old mates who don't give a monkeys about the Soul police or the beard strokers. Long live the puddings and long live white rose soul!! Loves it!!!!

Godzilla, sorry first of all for copying a bit of what you said. This bit......... "the Travolta character would want to escape from the depressive reality of his life to seek sanctuary in the false glitz and glamour of the disco scene" You see this is the rub, whilst most where escaping crap jobs and the like by going to the disco I went a little further. I went a lot further in fact, I stole into the night passed the crushed velvet jackets, the chicken in a basket, the disco ball, the baby cham and the Friday night slapper with too much make up and too much larger, I embraced a secret music that was not the main stream, I gave my soul and let the music become part of my DNA. I watched my mates go for the quick fix; I watched with a feeling of belonging as an underground music movement wrapped me in its arms and gave me a different perspective on life. I became aware of so many different things and I am not ashamed to say it shaped my life. What did my pals get out of disco, well some got married, some got nasty little rashes but that was about it? It was as disposable as a Bic razor. I suppose that's why DISCO is a dirty word? To compile the odd list of decent dance tracks is one thing but to say DISCO has depth (I know you didn't say this) compared to the Northernsoul Scene will take more than a few danceable tracks.

Dave as soon as its played on the Northern scene its ours and no longer disco...........

Hi Gordy, is that you??? Me old mate???

Godzilla, what the fooks R&B... ?
