When i saw the words Northern Soul my eyes lit up
but of the 3 i put forward here i wouldn't call any of them particularly Northern Soul. It may just be a USA/UK thing
where your Northern Soul Scene features different records to ours. I'd be interested as to what type of records are classified northern soul over in the USA

you were 4 for 4 on your guesses... I figured #5 would be a tough one... it's from 1978 United Artists (Roadshow) label.

Hi Stan,

To my knowledge the USA doesn't have a Northern Soul Scene. We may have some of the music but we don't call it that. However long ago it was that the Undisputed Truth released their album titled "Northern Soul" was the first time I'd ever seen or heard the phrase. I never could figure out what it meant. It wasn't until all you Brits showed up on the board :D that I finally learned what it is... and that I like a lot of the music. (THANKS, DISCODISK 8) :) )

Maybe it had to do with The Beatles? Their copyright company was called "Northern songs" (it's read in all their song credits) and they did many cover versions of Motown & Stax material (same thing did the Stones and the Kinks).

[Stan]

Thanks for that efunk - especially enjoyed the Northern Soul Tour :D :D

As for the remaining 2 records i think we all need some clues as i haven't got a CLUE :cry:

[efunk_adelic]

OK Stan, I get bummed when sometimes when I make these trivia questions when nobody gets them sometimes... :lol:

anyways, this is a well known R&B vocal group that had 2 #1 hits in the USA on ballads.

it starts with the letter "E"
11 letters ends with "T"
and 1 more clue here
song title starts with the word "It's"
good luck... :D

[Stan]

efunk, was that a clue to number 5 :roll:

I'll guess, with a little help from Google,

It's You That I Need - Enchantment :-? :roll:


if so that still leaves no.2

[efunk_adelic]

Ok everyone....


#2 was a #1 smash in 1972 (soul chart) USA


5 man vocal group ... the record label starts with an (A)

[paul]

Efunk, I am stumped on this one. Could the 5 man group be Atlantic's Spinners?

[efunk_adelic]

OK everyone... I've been neglecting this thread... I appologize..

Paul, you guessed the vocal group SPINNERS


have fun guessing the song.

[NickNack]

Is this the fantastic "I'll Be Around"?

[efunk_adelic]

Nicknack.... very close... :(


here's more lyrics..


Since I met you, i've begun to feel so strange
everytime I speak your name (that's funny)

you say that you are so helpless to,
that you don't know what to do.

[paul]

As a Spinners Fan, I'm ashamed :oops:

...You can be sure, I will never let you down
When you need me...I'll be around
And darling you'll always be,
the only one for me
Heaven made you special...leeee
Could It Be I'm Falling Love

:D :D :D

[efunk_adelic]
