2nd track by Velvet Hammer is superb!

As is the girly dancing. Nice to see Quids getting in on the act as well towards the end.

Northern soul stomper. Used to go down a treat when I played this at record fairs in London and the south of England.

Mod and Northern soul club favourite.

Tuned into this thread last Saturday morning and it set me up for the weekend!!

Hoping that tomorrow morning [sat] there will be another great tune to get me going...

From a working class northern girl who morphed into a middle class ED woman sometime in the 80s ...any help would be

greatly appreciated.

ps... and my dad raced pigeons. not personally.

or, a largely overlooked Funking genius

Sly

R.I.P Bobby

[tfwsoll]

Here's a Bobby W Northern Soul fave

...and ????, that's my favourite Sly track. He and Bobby deserve the much overused title of genius in my view...

Across 110th Street - Listen to the words, so much meaning and the production on this is fab

Anyone watch the Nation's Favourite Motown Song last night? A bit light (ITV) but some good stories (and class songs obviously)

I did but was disappointed that, given the huge back batalogue of Motown, how lightweight it was, and that the tunes higlighted were the ones you hear all the time on main stream radio. Craig Charles presented it like an episode of robot wars, which didn't help.

Already posted on another thread but seems more relevant here, also check out Solar, and back2backFM online

From what I remember considered a bit 'cheesy' back in the day rather than the 6.5 minutes of philadelphian sumptuousness it real is

Teddy's vocals!

[TillieTrotter]

Loved it.

BBC 4 is worth the licence fee alone

[Parkdrive]

Good show last night on beeb 4, but disappointed there was no mention of bands such as War, Fat Back Band and the Meters, arguably just as influential as those included in the show. Can't have everything I guess
