[AbeGrimes]

Hi OneMarianne. See if you can find my other posts on those mentioned below. Reckon most Northern fans have a connection where the music is concerned. Some I new lost the faith when they got old. I got crystal clear memories of my times 35 years ago. Not wishful thinking, just fond memories of a dance hall in union. Everyone was there for one thing, to hear their favorite sounds. I don't own a single vinyl 7" now. They were all bought by the other guy I did the disco with. That's why I come here

[OneMarianneStephen]

Thanks for posting this and all the information.

[scott8902]

[AbeGrimes]

Welcome door2. Only saying it like it was. Have posted on others including Jerry Williams, Doni Burdick, Sissie Houston, Bob and Earl, Little Anthony and the Imperials, The Shakers, Teddy Vann......57 and still wanting to stand behind those decks and play MY selection to the fans like I used to. A Northern Soul audience was one of the most appreciative I ever new. I've other music types I like, but only Northern raises the memories it does.

[AbeGrimes]

Tried to explain to non-soulie once why these gigs were populated by guys dancing solo, girls doing the same, not there to score or pick up the opposite, get pissed etc etc. Lost on him it was. The music, man, the bloody music. You could have had the shittiest day of your life prior to walking through the doors of the venue, but the moment this, and dozens of other top Northern sounds hit you, you just had to move to it, let it soak into you, LIVE it. Thank God Northern was "exclusive" sometimes

[liamb84]

fantastic northern soul stomper !!

KTF

[LlamaBill]

This was a favourite from my collection brought around '73 either from the Casino or from the Migrant Mouse record shop in Chester. Sadly all sold to pay for the nappies. Now replaced with 10 times the number of CD's. Unfortunately I'm only a 10th as fit, so I do more listening than dancing, and these records cry out to be danced to. I wish I'd known how special the time at the Casino was. You could almost drink the atmosphere.

[Gundolf62]

A great stomper !!

[cjp0349]

This was used as background music on ITVs "Demons" last saturday...someone on the production team must have great taste in music

[soulgalore]

If there were six stars available I'd award them. This is one of those almost holy records which no matter what state of mind I'm in gives me an instant lift. Northern soul is like that, genuine quality music that so vividly evokes that feeling of time and place. I salute you.

[door2yourheart]

Thank you for the great comment soulgalore! The long history of Northern Soul is rich with memories for so many of us. KTF!

[kladdno]

@soulgalore For dancers only.... OUTSTANDING!!

[merklereenactment]
