Here's an instrumental written by soul singer Bettye Swann for keyboard magician Hank Jacobs... unlikely combination, but with incredible results.
An original mod classic and an underplayed Northern Soul floorshaker that sets the pace from the off. The casual, relaxed style piano playing, belies the upbeat tempo...or is that the upbeat tempo belying the casual, relaxed style piano playing? A great dancer. To be played over and over and over again.

that Hank Jacobs number - it's made even better by the fact that it hasn't been exploited for a car ad yet... Or has it? this thread is bringing MB out of a potential indie mire

I shall spend the weekend dipping into the latest batch. Now if only we had a resident Funk head who could make a similar thread then I could spend the weekend bopping like crazy.

They've got it down to a tee...portable record player, small bag, talcum powder, spare socks, leather soled shoes and all the right moves.

I'm downloading this now...

There's a series of these Decca ones that look groovy... I'm chuffed that I can nowtell the difference between a pounding Tamla 'Northern' track and a 60's classic-style Motown tune... and connect with it because it's basically a pre-rave culture, loads of drugs and up-tempo music :hphones:

So, RT... been to any clubnights recently? :p:I saw this documentary time ago which featured a guy (essentially you, minus the hair and the life) who did the whole shebang - he had the gear and stacks of records, and you're watching thinking, 'sad bastard'... but then he pulls his shapes. A forty year old man basically breakdancing in oxford trousers. You have to love the spirit.

I rarely get out much these days. Allnighters are out of the question for obvious reasons, but there are dozens of smaller clubs that do regular Northern nights.
Usually once a month.
I'd say 35 was the youngest for the 70's originals.
Don't be fooled by the appearance of some of the older ones. There's one guy who used to win dance competitions on a regular basis in his younger days and he went on to be a kick boxing champion!

I have noticed a lot of younger people getting into the scene over the last few years. There seems to be a second wind for the mod/scooter boys lately and younger than usual.
I know there's a few newer clubs in town that seem to be the place to be seen.
Northern Soul looks like it's having a new lease of life again...

^^^lol what was wrong with my cheapo blog download??
Just got to twiddle my thumbs now and wait for that 'income assistance'...

I won't lie... I haven't 'watched' all of these videos. Yet. mwahahaha *cough*

edit: haven't I also heard that this Duffy character is a bit NS? I vaguely recall a glowing review thread. That may have been Lee. Also Northern Soul clubnights would do well with some kind of Twisted Wheel uk tour. Norwich is not the biggest town for 70's revivalist revivals :(

You'll have some of the tracks on here, but it's one of the better comps about. From the now demolished Golden Torch club Stoke.

Songwriter, producer and recording artist Sam Dees, was born in Birmingham Alabama. One of 13 kids, he showed a talent for singing at an early age.

Recorded in 1968, 'Lonely for You Baby' is an up-tempo deep soul song.
It's mournful tone makes for a brilliant piece of rare soul.
Hugely popular with copies changing hands for around £300.
One of the greatest soul songs ever written.

WMA file, but I can do it in mp3 format if you'd prefer?
It's an original mono recording digitally remastered in stereo.

:) Nope this is MORE than adequate... I just stupidly worked out all the songs you've been putting in the titles and swiped them all the other day. The album titles have pointed the way aswell. Best thread on the goddamn forum, always was!

I know you aren't massive on funk but if you don't have it there's this compilation 'New Orleans Funk: The Original Sound of Funk 1960-1975' from the highly reputable Soul Jazz label, which is a a lot more up your street I think? A yes or no will suffice

EDIT: link to Hotline added in mp3

Welcome to the forum krissi.

I'd be happy for you to add to this thread following the same youtube/download/review format.

Look forward to your insights.

Nice choice goodfoot. I fixed the vid for you.
A little more about this song, artist/background etc. keeping more with the thread format would have been nice. :)

bobby byrd, i know you got soul, great slab of funk, he was on the james brown soul revue, great talent, could slow it down as well, but funk was his detraitraision.

You've obviously got a lot of knowledge about this stuff you want to share, i think you should start a members journal where you could post about your songs in depth or something, i'd read it anyway!

the music i obviously enjoy is soul/funk, but i don't really see myself as a font of knowledge, i know a little bit, i just enjoy listening, and sharing some of the sounds i think other like minded people might enjoy

One of my faves:

Sonny and the Premiers - 'What It Is' (Chipam Records) CM-100B The B Side of a fairly average cover of the Sam Cooke track 'you send me'.

Not sure of the year as the 45 doesn't really even show up anywhere. I estimate from reading about SATP that they date back from the early sixties (starting off as a bit of a doo wop outfit) Any steer on the group's history would be appreciated.

Picked up speculatively but doesn't seem to get much/any air or club play. Just love the driving drums - especially in the break in the middle.

I'm afraid i don't have a file to upload however i can make one if required. Will have to get my post count up to be able to upload.

Appreciated.

No problem. (link in the bold title in N_S's original post)
Definitely worth a listen.
Thanks for this mate. Not heard it before and straight away those drums set the pace.
Great interplay between the boy/girl vocalists.
Choppy guitar and busy bass lines.
Top drawer stuff.

Just finally got around to reading this R-T, it's been sitting on my subscribed list for a long time now. Some really great stuff here, I didn't like all of it but up to Tammi Terrel it was really consistent with a type of soul I had never heard before but thoroughly enjoyed. Wrote down a lot of names and will be downloading and burning CD's for driving in the car... my favorite time to listen to soul. Thanks again for the mood lift, and keep this thread going god damnit!

right-track 12-11-2009 10:29 AM
Thanks for the feedback Schizotypic.
So you didn't like Martha Reeves, Sam Dees and Hank Jacobs then?

No, no, I'm pretty sure most of those I loved. I was just saying that before Tammi everything I listened to I liked, and after I only liked like 80%. And also that I'm not completely in love with Tammi.

Jean Shy has several Soul Single releases in the 1960's with Chess, Brunswick, Honey and Fantasy Records. Some of which were in local or regional charts, but never make it into the main charts. Definitely worth listening to. Great Artist. Many Radio Shows in the UK have her old releases in their playlists.

And I'll be right here reading it :D

This thread's introduced to so many good songs, in some cases songs that have gone on to be absolute favourites of mine (the Younghearts' a Little Togetherness for example). Looking forward to your next update.

So far in this thread, I think "Nothing Can Stop Me" is my favorite song because I like songs that tell stories. Also, I like P. P. Arnold's wavery, sweet, softer version of The Rolling Stones' "As Tears Go By."

I definitely find that (of those posted) I prefer the sadder songs to the peppier, happier ones...although watching the Japanese youth dancing was fun! :) Also, I prefer the songs that don't have romantic love as the main topic. For example, "Nothing Can Stop Me" deals with self-respect (albeit in a romantic love relationship).

I'll be curious to hear more songs that people post, since I'm not familiar with Soul.

Eccentric Soul - The Prix Label


Quote:
A glorious batch of unearthed soul and funk from the early 70s central Ohio scene -- the storming singles of Prix label -- culled from ultra rare 45s plus previous unreleased gems! Prix was the imprint started to release work captured at Columbus's Harmonic Sounds studios commercially -- pummeling funk, uptempo harmony soul, some heavy organ groovers and beyond -- work by the Royal Esquires, Eddie Ray, Joe King, Marion Black and others. Most of the tracks were cut in the first few years of the 70s -- at a time when when central Ohio was producing soul and funk as mighty as the bigger midwestern cities of Detroit, Memphis and Chicago -- standing just as tall even if it didn't get over as well in the marketplace! 19 tracks in all -- 11 of which were issued as Prix 45s in the early 70s, plus 8 more tracks that were never officially released -- culled from finished masters, demos and other studio material that was only recently discovered! Titles include "Wait A Minute", "You Got Me" and more by Eddie Ray, "Mystic" and "Mister Kidneys" by OFS Unlimited, "Speak On Up" and "Your My Everything" by Joe King, "Ain't Gonna Run" by Royal Esquires, "Listen Black Brother" by Marion Black, "Melon Jelly" by Soul Ensemble, "I'm Gonna Gitcha" by Chip Willis & Double Exposure and more, plus 4 "extended play" bonus tracks by Eddie Ray, Harmonic Sounds Band and Penny & The Quarters
Wonderful!

I came across this Penny & The Quarters track called "You and Me" a couple months ago after watching the film Blue Valentine. I'm sure many others have/will come across this tune after watching the film.

The film was very good but this track blew me away. There is something about the way she sings thw word "Again" after "If I never see the setting sun"
