Don Thomas - Come On Train
Ever tried any of the N. Soul dance moves, DT?
Great track which has the Northern Soul quality of making you need to jump up and dance I could never do the spinning around because I get dizzy and if I tried the kicking move I would probably kick someone in the face. I used to go to a Northern Soul night and what stood out the most apart from the energetic and uplifting music was how varied the revellers were. The age range was from 18 - 80 and all mingling on the dance floor and having a great time. There were a group of people in wheelchairs that always came and would be at the side of the dancefloor soaking up the atmosphere. Wish I had been there for real at places like the Wigan Casino.
I bought a Northern Soul CD compilation and two really stood out. This one because of the vocals.
Frankie And The Classicals - What Should I Do
This one was also on the album but it's not really Northern Soul. Still a great song and I can imagine it playing at a 70s roller disco cum nightclub on a Saturday afternoon before the skates come off and the Northern Soul comes on.
