Favourite Northern soul records?

[Northernsouloldies]

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.

If you get stuck identifying records go onto soulsource people will be happy to help you and give valuations, labels, condition, original pressings are key to value and you don't want to get ripped off if you sell. Records can go for big money.

I don't know a lot of Northern Soul songs but The Night is one of my favourite over all genres. One of those songs I will stop and listen to, if I can.

Yvonne Baker, You Didn't Say a Word... also good for dating.

Oh, thanks for that. I’m not selling they have sentimental value and I like them. there’s quite a few American imports and white labels amongst them. I’d be interested to find out what some of them are.

I collect other records so I know a bit about pressings, grading, valuation and all that jazz.

If anyone wants to watch on BBC IPLAYER the most amazing Northern Soul at the Proms is still available. I rewatched it last week and its so good!

Enjoy dad's record's. 😁

Oh gosh I'm 65 and used to go to Wigan casino.
I also went to the Twisted Wheel in Manchester...and soul events up and down the UK every weekend.
Weekenders and all nighters..l went to the Wigan casinos 35th Anniversary..they held it in the shopping mall where the old Casino stood.. Flirtations live on stage and hundreds of us dancing outside boots and marks and Spencer etc..
I've enclosed photo of my badge..
Dancing was passion and I'm on a good few videos at various events.. especially The whitby northern soul weekenders..
Sadly l had an horrific accident and broke both hips and pelvis and that put a stop to my dancing .
Too many favourite songs but here is a few.

Here l go again ..Archie Bell and the Drells.

Time Will Pass You By" by Tobi Legend, "Long After Tonight Is All Over" by Jimmy Radcliffe, and "I'm on My Way" by Dean Parrish.

Do l love you.. Frank Wilson.
I have hundreds of Vinyl and still collecting.

I'm on my way Dean Parrish.

I’ve found my people!

I go to pieces - Gerri Granger
Don’t Send Nobody Else - Ace Spectrum

Loved Northern for so long, used to go to the RSG dos, 100 club, Leighton Buzzard allnighters
Love that badge Moier

On Broadway, George Benson

I used to work in live events and worked on hundreds of shows with global artists. But this show was one of my wtaf moments - insane to hear it live

I utterly love this song, but even more so after dancing with my cousin at his wedding a couple of years ago. He died 18 months ago, so even more special now

Any Northern Soul fans should listen to John Kane's Northern Soul on BBC local radio 7pm Saturday evening repeated on Wednesdays or BBC sounds. Also gives details of meetings, events etc. Takes me back to my youth, it's brilliant.

7 days is too long

That's my girl Dee Clark ♥

You’ve got my dangling on a string - Chairman of the Board.
Love this - one of my dads favourites,

Barbara Acklin Am I the same girl
Billy Butler Right Track 😊

Fred Hughes - I Keep Tryin'

Have you seen the YT video of Edwin Starr singing Agent Double-0 Soul, on Hollywood A Go-Go? At 2:40 into it, there's a guy in the audience doing what look like Northern Soul moves. And there's a Supremes video with some in - I forget which one but it's filmed at a picnic type set up outside somewhere, with people dancing. Is that the origin of it?

Out of My Mind - RAIN with Charity Brown

Just been driving home listening to Northern Soul, my DH has hundreds of records and has put lots on a USB stick in my car. Tonight I was singing along to The Drifter by Ray Pollard & Seven Day Lover by James Fountain.

The Ace Spectrum song is one of my favorites too

Jimmy Mack, by Martha and the Vandellas.

… Jimmy Mack Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back
Jimmy Mack Jimmy,
Oh, Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back

Jimmy Raye's Philly Dog Around The World on KCC is probably my favourite. KTF!

What a brilliant thread— so many amazing songs

I know it’s been covered and sampled to death in recent years but I’d have to add Beggin’ by The Four Seasons to the list.
