..........then again, I could have been the current Mrs. Av. Such missed opportunities!

[tonyav]

I wasn't looking for a wife at that time, Yilly, however if we had met I may have changed my mind !.

[WELSHYORKIE]

A few of my fave Northern Soul songs from the 70s:

Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) - Frank Wilson
Out on the Floor - Dobie Gray
The Snake - Al Wilson
Seven Days Too Long - Chuck Wood
Landslide - Tony Clarke
There's a Ghost in My House - R. Dean Taylor
I'm On My Way - Dean Parrish

Long gone are the days when I used to dance to these!!

[Robinia]

Oh I missed it.... all good songs there Yorkie and add My Heart's Symphony and Everybody's Goin' to the Love-In.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Gary Lewis and the Playboys - yes, Robinia, I had forgotten that.

"When you told me that you loved me
And I thought I could tell that you did
My heart told me all was well..."


Corr, cupid would be impressed.......

[tonyav]

Gawd, I'd love to stop and carry on discussing Northern Soul with you guys, but I've got to go to work now.

[Robinia]

I love northern and Tamla, it's the best feel good music. My ex husband was a dj so I used to line up all of my favourites for him to play. :)

[WELSHYORKIE]

Love on a Mountaintop - Robert Knight

[andy-hughes]

The present Mrs Hughes is a major Northern and Tamla fan - and I was a DJ in a nightclub where she was a barmaid, that's where we met.

I used to play some of her faves and see her bopping behind the bar.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Robinia, I DJ'd on the base radio station when I was in the forces and NS and Motown was always a favourite among the inmates, errm residents.......

[andy-hughes]

"Love on a Mountaintop - Robert Knight" - fine selection Welshyorkie!

[Robinia]

lol...if things went a bit flat at a do Northern soul would get enough people up and dancing to make the place look full, you needed a lot of space to do it properly.....which I can't nowadays. The mind is willing but the body....
I've considered throwing some talc on the kitchen floor and having a go but I'd probably end up in traction for 3 months. :)

[WELSHYORKIE]

At almost 58, Robinia - my body has long given up the hope of doing anything remotely akin to NS dancing talc or no talc!!

[andy-hughes]

Let's face it Robina and Welshyorkie - in your minds, a quick scattering of talc would bring out those shuffles, flips and backdrops, but in reality you would take one step, go arse over tip and ring for an ambulance!
