Major Lance came over here to England and legend has it that his is the dance style that was emulated and immitated and then mutated into what today is northern soul dancing. Along with his wonderful music thats not a bad legacy to have left. Got an album and most of his Okeh releases. RIP brother KTF

Marines dance to this music . Never will forget their beautiful smiles
as they did their dance. this was in '64 or '65

This song has always been my favorite one. Used to listen to it in early 80's and I was only 12-14 years old!!! At sixteen I was even impressing girls with it (yeah, no girl could stay still when hearing the monkey time!). Those were the days... And the funny side of it is that it happened in Northern France, best place that time for Northern Soul... I still have a 1963 45! Thx for the video Laura!
