Northern Soul - Floorfillers Pt. 1 

They do it to get a reaction.;)

@@scotfoxx Or metal heads.

They weren't for the music they were for The Wigans casino...

It's the Snake there's a vendetta against that tune

@@brianboru636 I'm a metal head and love NS KTF 👍

❤❤❤ yep

Knee broken also T. Was at Blackpool tower November. Missed the music of heartbreak and the Great people that go. KTF

Great days my knees are creaky to mate

Another '50 years later' girl here, so fantastic to hear the music again, wonderful memories, Majestic Newcastle 1970's

Creaky! Great word the brain wants to dance but Creaky bones make it so hard... KTF Brian 68

You and me both! They played 'Do I love you' when I was on a short break recently, and I couldn't keep off the floor! I amazed my friends with my 80 yr moves! 🙂

It gets me throwing up too.

Candi staton was southern soul .am i right

Brilliant Lynette, I love the Elgin's, I'm 68 and want to get those feet dancing again, but the coordination has gone. Still love these tunes.

Hitting 60. Still love Northern soul great memories of My. Early. Years

Hey Lynette, age is just and attitude and your comment proves it. Music is in us all we just need to let it out and even when the joints get sore the beat will find a way. Keep your faith!

Me too, absolutely love Soul and Motown and I am 72!

Love it my girl the same x😊

Thank you for your comments, loving them keep them coming. KTF

@@TheAnthonyKing Bless your heart, darlin! Thank you. xxxxxx MWAH!

@drwhatson........Mmm, I don't want to sound like a 'party-pooper' and I agree, there are some truly great sounds here - but I thought the set was a complete mishmash. He started off with some classic 'youth club sounds' [mostly Motown with the odd rarity thrown in] but then it went completely batshit crazy! Frank Wilson followed by 'Festival Time'?!? C'mon. And what happened to the 'Uptempo soul' items that segue-wayed from the Youth club era to the pioneering Soul clubs? Iain and I were regulars at Colley Gate Labour club after we had 'graduated' from Halesowen Youth Club - and I can't begin to emphasise just how important CGLC was in our 'progression' onto 'proper' Northern Soul venues like the Catacombs and Torch. By that time we had acquired tracks like Johnny Sayles, Mamie Galore, Chris Jackson, Right Track, Travis Wammack etc and would get the DJ's at CGLC to play them for us. Then one night this new DJ showed up and in response to us constantly badgering him to play our records - he played a 'set' that absolutely blew our minds! We didn't know any of the sounds he played, but they were all brilliant. I can remember us rushing over to him to ask what they were ....he reeled off a succession of titles as we busily noted them down - Sam & Kitty, Bok to Bach, Shakers, Jimmy Thomas, Rose Batiste Whispers et al. I asked where he had heard these amazing records and he smugly replied, 'Tunstall Sounds'. We hadn't got a clue what he meant, but after further probing we managed to get him to reveal that he was talking about the Torch in Stoke and we made plans there and then to visit that iconic venue as soon as possible. That was the beginning of our 'journey' to experience the most influential NS clubs and [IMHO] the best times ever on the scene.

@@thesoultwins72 Yep, you're absolutely right about the mix - I think I probably got carried away with Johnnie Taylor "Friday Night"(!) One of my faves of which I can't eulogise enough. :-) I can't stand "The Snake" and Frank Wilson is, you know... yawn city. I always preferred Laura Lee to the San Remo Strings, although both blew my mind on first hearing. Earl Jackson still sounds awesome though. I was very surprised to learn (from Carl Dene no less), that it had been played as early as 1970(!) Some of the rest are mostly reminiscent of a Tesco's CD compilation of "Wigan's Greatest Hits" - or worse 'Mr. Fuckin' M's'. :-(

Thank you for your comment Peter, good to hear you're still dancing to the music you love. KTF

Most wold fail the drug tests though!😉

Spot on Neil! Never a moody scene. Just the music and the hope that there were some singles in the crowd😂

Crap is definitely the right adjective!
