horribleblob   213 #8 Posted January 18, 2013 Apples Peaches Pumpkin Pie..Jay & The Techniques...  Ooh yes! I like that one. The problem I have with Northern Soul is finding tracks I don't like. That, and trying to remember track titles and performer's names. Just for starters:  I'm the one who loves you - Darrell Banks I surrender - Eddie Holman I can take care of myself - Gene Chandler A little bit hurt - Julian Covay Just say you're wanted - Gwen Owens Seven days is too long - Chuck Wood Monkey time - Major Lance That driving beat - Willie Mitchell Out on the floor - Dobie Gray Do I love you - Frank Wilson Needle in a haystack - the Velvettes She blew a good thing - The Poets Tighten up - Archie Bell and the Drells  I won't go on.

Plain Talker   11 #10 Posted January 18, 2013 I love most of the (60's) girl groups, (though my faves are the Phil Spector wall of sound artistes) and bands like the Temptations etc.  WRT Northern soul tracks:-  "A Touch Of Velvet A Sting Of Brass" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuVSRvTHjN8. (wah-wah! do do do do do dooom)  "Out On The Floor", by Dobie Gray  and "Ski-ing in the Snow" by Wigan's Ovation (dreadful group fab song!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIPdnXbpfVQ  I also like a bit of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love", and Judy Street's "What", (Both of which were excellently covered by Soft Cell!)

janie48 Â Â 97 #11 Posted January 19, 2013 A few of the ones i like have been mentioned,but for me the it has to be Aretha Franklin singing- I say a little prayer,and Respect, in fact most of her songs i like to hear because i just love her voice. Â Another great favourite is Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye-You are everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
