Superb performance from "The Duke" of this northern soul classic.
Filmed some time in the late 80's/early 90's i'm guessing
somewhere in the uk....Gene definately still has it.
Watch out for much microphone malarky at the start.

  • Looks like a performance at a wedding, where the male bride is asked to the stage to perform, because that's what he secretly always wanted to do. Quite embarrassing, knowing James Brown's original and mr. Chandler should know, or be told.

  • @andzwe ...u just dont get it youth.....show some respect

  • Yeh....if you google up northern soul then you'll get lots of info about the term meaning etc etc mate...of course its American Soul usually..but not exclusively..and its bleedin marvellous.....

  • All due respect 2 both versions, but gene takes it on the dancefloor...... hands down. Thanx 4 the footage.

  • no probs,cheers for your new input to

    the you tube soul society!

  • No there off a DVD entitled Northern Souls Greatest Hits

    its got 34 songs on it...it was put out by goldsoul,after Steve Brookstein won the TV talent show,

    hes on with the Four Vandals...but theres tons on it,Frank Wilson,Beverly Ann loads.its well worth having.

  • Old Sck..back in time yall No

  • GENE "The Duke" CHANDLER SHOULD HAVE BEEN INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME YEARS AGO !!! How he's not in ,( with over 30 chart hits, and a Grammy Hall Of Fame Inductee,singer,songwriter , producer, entrepreneur, and record executive), but one -hit wonder Percy Sledge is, BLOWS MY MIND !!!

  • @razelma

    Mm, "youth", not exactly anymore ;-)

    Maybe I was a bit harsh, but It was just an impression and I dò appreciate and respect Mr. Chandler's old work a lot. In the meantime, I listened to his studio version of this song, too and I find that much more convincing!

  • @panniculus Good point. I cannot do four decades but Mr. Biggs can do SIX decades! Ha, top that:)

  • I know what "Northern Soul" means and the origins of the term but it really, really bothers me when people describe original American music as Northern Soul. Original American music is categorically NOT "Northern Soul". It is original soul. American soul.

  • the "duke" crushed it!!
