In his autobiography Ronnie Wood tells of the flat he rented from Pat Arnold in London. The flat below Ronnie was rented by his pal Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't for long but how cool is that?
Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! Wow! Brings back great memories....for those not into the Northern Soul scene [yes it is still around], try it and enjoy tunes like this...you will not stop dancing!!
This morning is the first time that I've--consciously--heard P.P. Arnold's music. Obviously it's not the first time that I've heard her voice, but her records never made it to the radio in Chicago (that I knew of). Her voice has the same brass and edge that Dusty Springfield had, I could listen to this all day, it's so great!
why has pp not got the recognition she deserves.she sings with such soul.a backing singer only??? the music world should have done more to establish her as one of the soul greats.
I have the origional on cassette tape. I have a bunch of really great northern soul on tape, I wish I knew how to put it on a wb site so I can share it with everyone. I have night owl and a lot of other great songs.
Oh how my heart yearns listening to this song, For those magical days, when, I was about 17. I always found this song really emotional, like all great N Soul classics, gets you right in the heart, and soul. Once a Soul boy, or Soul Girl. always will be.,at heart. Thanks for posting. KTF. LOL .
The most emotionaly heart felt song. What a classic. I remember playing this non stop on the families Dansette record player. and, dancing to it. I love it so much, but, how my heart yearns for those sweet days. does anyone remember, Rotherham Leasure centre, Northern soul night. in the 70s ?. Thanks so much for posting, such a wonderful classic. Keep the Faith. LOL .
search the net. she is still going strong in the U.K. ...what in the world, how does she do it???? she's like 63 now!!! She looks like she's in her 40's at the most!
Just seen p p in concert at the sage gateshead with jimmy james and geno washington.What a show she was fantastic .what a voice what a showgirl.if you get the chance go see her.
ian well done , such a good looking woman , memorys of wigan driving back to newbury , if only we could go back , its not the same anymore ! long live the casino !
ian well done for keeping the faith this far after the casino closed , i was a 19 year old from newbury berks , we got the coach to wigan as often as we could , and this was the music we wanted to dance to , well done for still playing it , KTF john newbury .
pp arnold was on tour last year i believe doing backing vocals roger wates ex-pink floyd,i did see she was on tour for 2009 but who is she touring with?.
to the person who is asking about pp touring. she does the backing singing for roger water (of pink floyd) so has recently been in the o2 areana and similar places. early next year she is touring with geno washington - in feb she is in dartford
We used to walk,laugh and talk,solve the problems of the world,,reminds me so much of my youth when i thought the girl and i were the universe.Ah we should always stay young.Love this song
i knew pp was also a good friend to lil' anna mae, a.k.a. tina, as she was escaping ike back in the day but i never knew pp could sing like this!! FABULOUS! sounds like breaking away from ike did a world of wonders for everyone he was involved with.
Is there anyone out there, who can tell me where i can see PP Arnold perform. I don't care where or at what venue. BLUES JAZZ CLUB, etc? Does she have a recent wedsite.
I hadn't heard of P.P. Arnold before today. After listening to her earlier songs, in comparison, she sound much better here. Must be life experiences. She looks and sound a lot like Cindy Birdsong of the supremes.
Great voice and delivery, oozes class effortlessly. Keep the faith, keep up the revival pressure. Flood the charts and melt folks hearts. Remember Dawn Penn a few years back? Well why not? Welcome back PP Arnold.
this was my fave song as a nipper, having northern drilled into me makes you appreciate how good the vibes of the soul scene were. wish i was around for wigan, samanthas and cleethorpes, have to make doo with the whitby wkenders instead!!!
