Shocking you not knowing your roots

The Jimmy Radcliffe tune is one of the ultimate Northern Soul tracks, but for the life of me I can't now recall who covered it in the early/mid 80's! Doin me head in fact.

You'll know most if not all of the titles tho matey

I`m a bit ignorant where Northern Soul is concerned.. I know Laura Pallas covered SKIING IN THE SNOW and I think the Flirtations track EARTHQUAKE was originally a Northern Soul hit.. ? I have a track called IN ORBIT by Yvonne Gidden which may also ahve been Northern Soul as well ?

There's 3 for ya

Earthquake was originally recorded by Bobbi Lynn
In Orbit - Joy Lovejoy
Ski-ing In The Snow - The Invitations

and I gotta say I still prefer the originals

[marmite7]

Yvonne Gidden was on Electricity, Kev Roberts (N.Soul DJ) old label, so there's a huge clue

Nosmo King (an obvious play on words!) & The Javells - Goodbye nothing to say was coverd by *drum roll* The Nolans and produced by mr levine himself! 1986 I believe.

The cover of Long After Tongiht Is All is still buggning as Ican't recall the hi-nrg grouo which covered it aroun 86/87. Secession or sommat! Grrr

That Sapphires is tracjk is my fave and I lurv it. Such a dancable tune :)

You know wot Charlie, I knew it began with "T", but could fink for the life of me.

Are there any others I've forgotten about?

Anyone else hear The Nolans doing Goodbye Nothing To Say? (I remember it being a "cover-up" release, with no info on the artist, until everyone loved it, then the bombshell was dropped it were the all-singing, all-performing Irish sisters!)
