The genre of Northern soul records and dancing has been with me for 40yr plus. I'm always keen to hear stuff I've not heard before. Some of my faves.
Betty lavette.. Check on what my condition my condition is in.
The vibrations.. Cause your mines.
The velvellettes.. These things will keep me loving you.
Martha and the vandellas.. One way out.

Hooked on young Stuff by Nino Tempo

I knew the guy in the 90s Kenny Burrell that bought it for £15,000... Eek. He later sold it on for £25,000.

Nothing but a heartache by the flirtations.

Also love the northern soul version of Frankie Valli - The Night. Seems like a completely different song to their original album version.

My DH got me into northern soul, it never fails to perk me up!

My DH is a Northern Soul fan, he used to go to Wigan casino back in the day. As a surprise I bought tickets to see The Signatures, a Northern Soul tribute band, last summer. Their guest singer was Lorraine Silver. They make a fantastic sound and well worth seeing if you’re a fan.
My DS19 grew up listening to NS in the car on journeys and has a number of tracks on his playlist.
My all time favourite is
Long After Tonight is All Over - Jimmy Radcliffe
I bought DH an Amazon Echo so he could listen to all his favourites and more.

Open the Door to Your Heart by Daryl Banks

I have hundreds of northern soul 7 inches that belonged to my dad. I don’t know most of them. There’s no Do I Love You by Frank Wilson though, unfortunately.

EwwSprouts · 20/01/2024 21:14

Ooh love The Night
There's a ghost in my house.

JuJuHeyHey · 20/01/2024 21:18

Baby Boy - Fred Hughes
Open the Door to Your Heart - Darrell Banks
Nothing But a Heartache - The Flirtations
Heaven Must Have Sent You - The Elgins

Red Light Spells Danger is a stone cold classic!

lazyalias · 20/01/2024 21:19

The Night has the best base line ever!

Gone with the wind..dont know who sung it a lady it was but its epic.

Thisisthedawningoftheageofaquarius · 20/01/2024 21:25

I’m Irish and came across Smoove & turrell about two years ago and love them - beggerman my fave. Does that count?

I don’t know much about northern soul but is Frank Wilson not Motown? Or can someone be both?

ChihuahuasREvil · 20/01/2024 21:26

One of my dad‘s favorites was Skiing in the Snow by The Invitations.
