oh and I agrea with wott pete says

Godzilla the original post on this thread reads: "Can't help noticing on this forum that 'disco' is a dirty word for some people! Why is that? What is it about 'disco' or some people's perceptions of 'disco' that winds people up?" And not as you say "whether any disco music is good or not" Of course there are literally dozens of good Disco records, I was not trying to discredit you, you rock dude! I also agree Ottowan is a pile of sh*te but are you suggesting that I can not really differentiate between likes of Earth Wind & Fire or Tower of Power? Well I can so there! You need to realise who I am on this forum young fellar me lad, I was doing it hard corps at Imber when the likes of you where doing the Disco Duck and The Frugg and as far as the links you need try here: https://www.tafsc.com/IMBERBOY%20IS%20THE%20AUTHORITIVE%20FIGURE.htm There is only one real northernsoul expert on this list and that's me!! Well that's not true really, there are three others who decide what is good and what is shat. Godzilla, don't listen to your uncle Simon coz I know nothing except two things and that is every one has an opinion on this forum and disco is shat.

I can dismiss the Disco scene because it is dismissible, I don't make the rules. Sorry She is D desirable She is I irresistible She is S super sexy She is C such a cute She is O oh, oh, oh D.I.S.C.O. She is disco It don't get much better than this....................................

QUICK JOEY SMALL Kasenetz Katz Singing Orchestral Circus - 1968 Quick Joey Small went over the wall With a ball an' a chain behind him Quick Joey Small went over the wall Send the dogs right out to find him. In a striped prision suit with no room to move He headed for the highway With his chain still dragin' He thumbed down a wagon said Well you're goin my way. And they say now Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail Jump-up Jump-up Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail. Sheriff got a shotgun, he do He'll fill you full of lead son, it's true. He's also got a blackjack, he's mad He'd bust your head with one wack, Here I go now. Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail. Sweet Mary Jane was goin' insane When she heard of Joey's jail break But she knew all the while 'cause She sent him a file Baked inside a fudge cake. Sheriff Jack Banes was a light on brains But he knew one thing for sure He took some toughs and a pair of handcuffs And headed straight for Mary Jane's door

I think first and foremost that just about every one would agree that as soon as you give music a label or try to catalogue or define into genres the trouble starts. Disco is a dirty word because if you compare the music and more importantly the "Disco" fans they appear as shallow and phoney compared to the emotive connection between Northernsoul and the Soulies. When ever Northernsoul is described, references are always made to the feelings of joy and passion, making our soulful experiences almost unique compared to other genre fans. I am yet to hear of any "Disco" fans being driven to tears or having to stop driving and pull over after being over whelmed by a black singer tearing their heart out? Disco isn't a dirty word, crevice is a dirty word, Disco is just a week word, a disposable, throw away thing like a Rubic cube, a Hula Hoop, a Slinky, Deely Bobbers and the Smurf Dance.

Lurkers of Doncaster Unite I know as much as the day I was born How many Lurkers are on this list that watch most threads but hardly if ever post? Last week I went to The Earl of Doncaster and as I ascended the stairs I was blocked by a lady who wasn't half bad looking and I thought my luck had changed. After an uncomfortable age she said....... "You're Imberboy", I of course asked her how she knew and I was told "Soul source of course!" I replied "Oh brilliant, do you post on the forum?"............ "Oh no I just read it" Finding a welcome seat amongst Sue's 50th birthday revellers it became very apparent that every one on the table had some thing to say about the recent "Jump Dance" post on the forum and very apparent that every one sitting around the table where regular readers of Soul Source. I have known for some time that Elaine from Doncaster reads the forum daily, when she should be busy with the house work before Gilly comes home, I asked her why she doesn't post and the impression I get is that there is a perception that the forum gets a little too "high brow"? I have been doing this stuff long enough now to be an expert, but in reality I know as much as the day I was born and I am continuously blown away by the sheer depth of knowledge by some on this prestigious forum. So come on all you "Lurkers" out there get on the key boards and give your opinion, its very much needed and wanted other wise the "Train spotters" win! And the list gets a bit dry and bland, a little like our lasses fookin Yorkshire puddings! The music clip I have added is a cover version of The Style Council - Shout to the Top, I first heard it played by Soul Sam at Bretby many years ago and loved it......... Fire Island featuring Loleatta Holloway - Shout To The Top (Play it very loud n boogie!!!!) Well that's the lot today, I'm off to crash out and watch England the I'm off to Stoke, if any other nice looking ladies want to stop me on the stairs.............. Download Video Youtube Link

Wigan Casino, what a fookin rip off! No card tables roulette or even slot machines! How Russ Winstanley ever got away with it I do not know? How many tracks where played with a "Cards" or "Gambling" reference? Lenny Gamble The Joker went wild The Wigan Joker Voices of East Harlem - Cashing In Poets - She Blew a Good Thing Laura Lee - To Win Your Heart Derek & Ray - Interplay Joey Heatherton - When You Called Me Baby Newbeats - Run Baby Run Youngblood Smith - You Can Split Burning Bush - Keeps on Burning Don Gardner- Cheatin Kind Joe Tex - Show Me Marvellettes - I'll Keep Holding On Dalton Boys - I've Been Cheated First Choice - This is the House Any thing on "Roulette" Obvious ones but there will be a lot more?.................

2 4 6 8 10................. They have fookin sampled Shirley Ellis' Soul Time!!!!! I had to listen to this a couple of times to try to pick out what was niggling me and there is a fusion between different styles like the Dylan type harmonics and the Kid Creole stuff that fuses very well then I heard in the back ground Soul Time!

Stomper45 are you taking this thread seriously? The guy who wrote The Hokey-Cokey died last week. It was a terrible affair. When the mourners were gathered at the graveside, they discovered the coffin was too big. It became damaged as it was lowered in, a huge hole was ripped in the side and the body was half hanging out. Then the problems really began. First, they put his left leg in . . .

No one appreciates hard corps porno any more Pete!

Pete the amount of times you have been in print, you must be some where on the tube?

Rbman sling it on dude, don't be shy show us yer pie!

Any one on "YOU TUBE"? SOUL SOURCERS ON YOU TUBE? I must admit to being totally addicted to this web site, YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. Just type in the search things like "Northern soul" and "Dancing" and you enter the fun world of armature video clips. I'm on there and it's as close to getting on the telly as I will ever get and I know its Narcissism but fun never the less. Any one else on Soul - Source? Come on there must be loads dancing or getting interviewed? Here are my claims to fame and stardom...... 1. A couple of glimpses of me in my snow white shorts, socks, and shirt and of course my "Sylvester" sandals. This was the Cleethorpes weekender, can't remember the year but Maxine Brown was on. 2. A little clip of me, put a few pounds (stone) on since the first clip. 3. The Armed Forces Scooter Club, not in this but I'm the club president and ultra proud of it. Enjoy, giggle but add yours, The Northernsoul fraternity didn't document ourselves as much as we could have. Now we are all older it seams more than easy but difficult some times to remember how young and beautiful we where. (well not me, I have always had this ugly mug) Download Video Youtube Link

The Snake.................... its as old as most of the records listed I like tribute to betty as my choice but most records listed are fan bleedin tastic! I have a soft spot for get into your life, and man of value. in fact i like em all............. love this scene!!!

This is the "Chav Dance"; the music makes me want to become a Burmese Monk! I hate it so much to the point of unbearable!!! Download Video The kids, the Chavs, I think are brilliant and the best thing since sliced bread. We are all too quick to criminalise some young scrote just for wearing a hood or hanging around the shops. Once you get past the initial shock horror of no eye contact and slouched shoulders they are ok. We have always had idiots and hooligans, most of us on this forum aint what society would have classed as "normal" when we where sneaking off to our secret soul clubs! The youth of today never fails to inspire me, I used to watch them move around the barracks like Shaun of the dead then become lions each time we went to war. Mums n dads be proud. Whoops went off on one a bit there, back to the dancing………….. diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee diddle dee dee dee dib dee Luves it!

Your Ideal Dj Nighter Line Up? I would love to see a Soul Source set with a cross section of this forums members playing. Wouldn't matter to me if it was an "electronic" set with mp3's used. I bet the music would be fantastic; the forum members are the ones who know the music not some pudgy train spotter who has never been across the dance floor in his life. DJ's are brilliant but the punter roolz!
