So I'm 62yrs young ha! And let me tell you never ever will there be great times like this again ever,first time around mods,all nighters,great music,great fashion,and most of all great friends.
I can only imagine, I was around 9 when it came back in the 80's, I'd never seen young people look so cool, I went to school with sta press, Hushpuppies, a boating blazer and a cravat, at 9 and started looting 60's music
I’m the same age and I agree we were and are totally blessed to have lived thru the beautiful times!!! Nth London was a great place to be with great times and great mates, the music bound us all together even at our reunions in our later years!! Mods, skins , soulboys ….. loved every minute of it!!!
I did all this in the late nineties, same music, same clothes (second hand), all nighters at the same clubs, good deodorant, better dental health and we had ecstasy on top.
@@kimsutherland977 yeah, I listened to the sixties all through my life. The best clubs I went to played plenty of music you would never have even heard back then. Rare and unsuccessful but superb. Add the ecstasy on top and it’s pure heaven.
Im 66 just got into Northern soul back in 2017 when i was 59 went to my first Aldayer in 2019 i was into Motown back in the 70s i was a smoothly thats what we were class ourselves as because i was into all types of music but i did have a chance to go alnighter when i was 17 in 1975 but i turned down the offer because i was told there was dope involved so i never went i class myself a Northern soul girl now im glad i had a second chance of getting into Northern soul and i love it although Motown will always be my favourite music and part of me is still that smoothly back in the 70s been 17 and dancing to Motown was absolutely fantastic we did dance like the Northern soul dancers but we didn't do back drops or spins or high kicks but the moves are very similar beween the both styles of dancing im glad im part of Northern soul now
At 61 I've been through so many styles of fashion and music . Loved my journey and can't beat the oldies. Brings me back to life and have to dance......hear it drop it and move. Brilliant
Wow! This reminded me so much of my later teen years. I had my Lambretta, girlfriend on the back, and just having fun! The days have long gone but some fond memories remain. Thanks Jill for some wonderful times I will always cherish.
And who can resist getting up to move, or to start toe tapping and head moving when this is played , wherever its played. Its got a rolling tempo, that heightens to drive the beat down into your feet... Ah,yay I'm a fan of this man....KTF
Loved it lived it I'm 69 and all I do is play Frank Wilson dobie gray and a lot of tamla can't walk but put the music on and I will dance my kids have disowned me but I just put my music on and dance
Yes, just the right tempo for an owd fat lad to still manage a dance and a bit of hand clapping too!! :o) There used to be a version of this with film taken at Lowton showing dancers but it seems to have been removed :o(
Spot on Farweasel. As well as The Wheel, there were places in Manchester like Takis, Top Of The Town, The Oasis (later Sloopys) playing soul back in the mid-late 60s. Stuff like Willie Mitchell, Otis, Sam and Dave, The Temps plus slightly rarer stuff like Major Lance, Billy Butler, Shorty Long was being played all over the place (Browns in Stretford, The Locarno in Sale etc) before NS was even a twinkle in Dave Godin's eye. We were leaping all over the place to it in our Ben Shermans, Lee Riders and brogues from '66 onwards and only ever referred to it all as soul. I don't recall knowing the term Reggae back then. We always knew it as Ska or Bluebeat. We sort of regarded ourselves as mods but later preferred the soulboys tag!
Oh those clothes , leather coats , blue nylon macs , loafers , Crombie coats , Ben Sherman shirts , Peter Pan collars , and the best music ever , northern soul , Motown ❤️
Scrolling through, it's sad to see so many petty comments - what year, where, who, how blah blah blah... FFS..... we obviously all enjoy it, so let's just do that, even get up and dance wherever you are.... Peace, Love and KTF People.... 👍
