Tonight it's all about blend. The voices, the rhythm, and the
feeling all coming together to create something special.
Because that's what makes soul so good.
Now everyone's got their own idea of what soul is.
Some say it's the voice, some say it's the groove.
But tonight it's a blend. And like a good cup of tea, it
needs time to brew. With thinking things over, since
you said to me that you'd fall them in.
Love and. I I just want to.
Tell you. That I'll always love you
because love is wonderful. Love is beautiful.
I'm so happy when we're together.
Love is wonderful. Love is beautiful, I can't
resist you tender kiss. I never knew love was like this.
Was like this was. Like this love for me was a
Daydream my life. I searched for someone just like
you, and now you say that you love me.
Well, I'll always love you because love is wonderful.
Love is beautiful. I'm so happy when we're
together. Love is wonderful, Love is
beautiful. I can't resist tender kiss.
I never knew love was like this, was like this was like this
because. Love is wonderful.
Love is beautiful. I'm so happy when.
Coming together, love is wonderful.
Love is beautiful, I can't resist.
You tender kiss. I never.
Knew love was like this because. Love is wonderful.
Love is beautiful, I'm so happy. When we're together.
Love is wonderful, love is beautiful and resist you tender
kiss. I never knew love was.
Like this? A rare English effort which was
adopted by the deejays of the Northern Soul scene, Paula
Parfait. She was born and raised in
London, but her voice fit writing with the landscape of
American soul excellence. I'm going to Give You Back Your
Ring was the 20 year old's debut single for Beacon Records and
ended up being one of only two singles she recorded for the
label. Despite its quality, this song
was not a hit and Parfit's follow up didn't fare too much
better, leading her to abandon the music industry altogether
during the early 1970s. Had Beacon chosen instead to
promote the singles B side Love Is Wonderful, the release might
have fared better. Ignored upon initial release,
the song quickly became a hit amongst the mod and soul
nightclubs of England and Northern Soul All Nighters
quickly followed suit. It's optimistic outlook and
harmonising vocals coupled with that driving dance beat make
this song an almost guaranteed floor filler.
Breaking down the walls of. Hearted baby.
I'm a Carpenter. All the love.
Makes you. Breaking down the walls of
Hearted. Baby got to tear down, only
listen till the field of the heart of the Lord, breaking down
the walls of hearted them checking down the walls.
Of hearted. Baby breaking down the walls of
Hearted bring up bring the turn of God now be alone and that my
name is here man so. Deep it up.
The walls of Friday calling up the name go with the fad of one
rage. I'm swinging and your face is
there before me. I have no Margot.
You're gonna run the fire Number 4.
Oh yeah. Breaking down the walls,
hardened baby. I'm a Carpenter.
I'm a person. Breaking down the walls
hardened, baby. Got the. 10 out all the morning.
Until the building of the heart of the blue.
Yo. Making down the walls.
Hardened, they live. Down the walls.
Hardened, they live. Taking down the walls.
Party. Turn it down.
Watch the baby. I'm a Carpenter, a Carpenter
now. Love is a maxim.
Break my brick, turn it down. This storming anthem by Jonny
Johnson and the Bandwagon has it all.
Heavy brass and infectious, energetic vocal performance and
unexpected reprise at the end, and even strange lyrics like I'm
a Carpenter of love and affection.
However, the 1968 song is pretty unique within the Northern Soul
scene, despite the vocal group hailing from Rochester, NY, and
the single being issued in the USA at the same time as the UK.
Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache failed to chart in the
States, but it reached #4 in the UK.
Ultimately, you could debate whether you think this song is
worthy of being included in the scene or not, but I would defy
anybody to try and listen to the rhythm of this tune and not leap
up on the dance floor. Turn my back on you.
But I'll never, never. I'll turn my back on you all my
life. That's so good to me.
Yeah. They're never gonna come and let
you go free. So many years to try.
With all my tears. I'll never.
I said never. Never, woman.
I'll never. I'll never do it no wrong.
When I finish my comma, I'm going to come stay at home.
Kill me. So good.
That's right. Me.
Yeah. The good loving woman and the
fast. Can't be.
I'll never tell you. I'll never.
Oh, never. Never.
None. From the heart and soul of
Manchester. It's all about soul and it's got
to be Northern. The Airedales form one of the
most unexpected and intriguing tales in all of soul music.
Originally formed by a group of U.S.
Navy seamen towards the tail end of the 1950's, the group
eventually made a new life for itself in mainland Europe with
Rocky Roberts becoming the bandleader in 1963 and
relocating to Rome. When Roberts stepped back in
1967 to focus on acting in a solo career, it was down to the
North Carolina Born Museum West Johnson to take the reins, and
he catapulted the group onto the cutting edge of funk and soul
expression. I'll Never Turn My Back On You
as a commanding tune, using Johnson's distinctive voice and
the seemingly unrelenting brass of the Airedales to create a
floor filler. Without a warning, you blow my
heart. Without a warning, you tore it
apart. Without a warning, you took my
love and knew. You knew you.
And baby, oh how you abuse without a warning.
Certainly I must cry. Believe me.
Say goodbye you. My hearts will die.
Know what I'm gonna do for you till I love you to know.
That I. Love you.
Finding out now what I fallen in.
I don't live. Without a doubt.
Don't live and you won't lie. You're so hot.
I can't save my ass or ask who's
the only reason why. Could that be a matter of life?
I don't. Love you finding out now what I
found in the only I don't want it without a woman, without a
woman without a woman, without a woman.
Before Curtis Mayfield became a groundbreaking soul star in his
own right, The Move On Up songwriter was a prolific
songwriter and producer at the heart of Chicago's rich soul
scene. This high tempo, energising
stomper Without a Warning by the Minnesota group The Amazes was
just one of the tracks that Curtis Mayfield worked on during
his time with Thomas Records during the late 1960s, and he
seems to have successfully really injected the song with
his own knack for creating timeless, dynamic soul
masterpieces. Ain't no soul nothing.
Below you, sister, you've been gone.
We ain't scared. To.
Watch out this. Leather and put them.
On SO, I still feel. The real love.
Can't do nothing without that, ain't no.
Soul. Nothing.
There's. Human these old.
Ladies that between. Places.
The devil's eyes lay there, the music Fang out, but there's
nothing I've. Seen cry go out.
And feel. The real love.
Look if you. Know anything without?
That ain't no. Soul.
Nothing, baby. We're taking a trip now to OK
Records, a truly fascinating record label and one which plays
a pivotable role on the Northern Soul scene.
Mississippi vocalist Major Lance was amongst the labels flagship
acts during the 1960s. This sharp, short single is
bursting at the seams with soul. It's rousing rhythm are enough
to put this track in the floor filler category alongside
countless other OK singles which found a home in the Northern
Soul scene. As fast as.
Blue colour white. A.
Big, bright yellow. None.
Music. The.
Music a great track from Colour One and Tear Black.
Now 7 inch singles have always been the bread and butter of
Northern Soul, the ammo with which DJ's have been infecting
audiences since the very early days of the movement.
Still, the importance of album deep cuts shouldn't be
overlooked. And this is from Linda Jones.
I thought I found the right guy, but my mother girl caught his
eye when it turned his back on me.
Lord, I thought I'd die. I'm just a hand on.
Most of my hope is gone, gone still ain't come since they
stepping through my finger. Her last minute miracle is all I
can hold for get in hysterical praying.
He walks through. The door.
And it's this Harding and all heartbreaking, my old back.
That's all I need. In fact.
You wish you can. Lester is hard.
I'm anticipated making a new star.
If I can't share his weakness, my life will see two exists.
A last minute Miraca is all I can hold.
Giving my love to a stranger. Living my heart and danger all
hope it's fading away. Please let him come back to
death. And I'm gonna live in miracle.
I'm gonna live in Miracle so fast, This computer.
Yeah, yeah. Never have I been together.
Losing. Will I ever no more get hurt her
last minute miracle Hello I can hope or get in hysterical
brainy. One through.
The door and this, hearty and that.
All heartbreaking, my old man. Linda Jones, another last minute
miracle. It perfectly complements the awe
inspiring vocals of the New Jersey vocalists.
It's a song which seems tailor made as a single yet.
Loma, the R&B imprint of Warner Brothers, never issued it as a
single. In fact, it wasn't until 2005
that Warner Brothers released the song as a 7 inch single.
I see a call from the woman telling me these feet and that
she was all along blue. Oh, she didn't know.
Oh Lord, what to do. Oh, my baby feeling might say,
let the change be behind coming home in the morning.
I'm coming home in the morning. Right home, baby.
Oh, baby roll. My pain special D troller didn't
know love. That's wrong.
She'd have a little patient baby.
I was surely coming home and I coming home in the morning.
Oh babe, I'm coming home in the morning.
Right on, right on. I'll be right back.
I'm going to be that bitch baby beside you baby.
I'm going to eat the pain. I love your heart.
I never want to go. Never both going to travel this
land. So I oh Lord, coming home.
So I don't know. I'll tell you baby, right now
I'm coming home. Oh my baby.
I'm working on this baby. What can y'all say?
Call. Me on the birthday spoken babe
for I coming I ain't chosen babe sitting I'm running that never
came I'll be. So that.
Luke Pride, the Chicago born songwriter who upon launching
his solo career in 1970, came out with this absolute stormer.
It was issued on the Texas label Sumi, so-called for its tagline.
If you don't like it, Sumi. The Reco was only ever pressed
in small numbers without the widespread distribution of major
labels. How exactly it made its way over
to Lancashire is something of a mystery, but original copies of
The Single will set you back multiple thousands of pounds in
the modern age. I've got a.
Lady. Lady love, lady love.
She's a man and I love her. So look, we won't fall because I
know with my lady lady love, we walk.
Down the streets. Don't do that.
Compliment from all the people we meet, people we meet, people
we meet. Oh.
She treats. Me Doo Doo Doo like a cute just
like a. And she does.
For me, Doo Doo. Most everything Doo ever.
And to meet. The girls dear, and I love.
To have. A new.
My lady ladylove. And to me the.
Girl is dear and I love. To have.
A new. Lady love talking about my lady,
talking about my lady. Chicago Soul with that smooth,
slightly haunting edge. The Von Tastics.
They were part of the mid 60s Chicago scene recording for the
Saint Laurents record label. They never hit the big
commercial heights, but that's exactly why they became prized
on the Northern Soul circuit. Records like this had the under
the radar magic DJ's were always hunting for.
Oh, I'd like. To hold you tired baby.
You're my guiding light. Like holding on to my last.
Breath of life. I need.
Sitting here looking at the wall, it's like having now no
life at all, I heard. And why don't you call?
I need. You.
Hold my hand to make me understand I need.
You. That's going around.
That is in love with. No, no, no.
No, my right side and I'm. Here.
To hold on to when I'm down, I need you.
I always need you to arrive. Sitting here looking at the
wall, it's like having no, no words at all.
Say honey, please call. That's Johnny McCall, and
really, it's a romantic slice of Chicago.
So although the Doo Wop singer opts for a laid back, almost
mellow performance on this song, his voice is still capable of
capturing that gut wrenching emotion of romantic turmoil.
In a moment, In a moment, I can see.
In a moment my I'm on my I can see.
In a moment. In a moment I.
Can turn up. I go to love me, you love your
soul. Yeah.
That too long? We follow everywhere I go.
Give me that girl. Hey, hey, hey, every.
Day in a. Moment Don't you know that I
love you, love you, love you, love you, love I let you?
So hard. In a moment in a.
Moment, I guess in a moment. My my my.

All in the fall, in the morning. I can say in a moment, in a
moment, in a moment. I can say.
La La, La La la. La.
La La la. La La la.
Go baby in a moment. In a moment.
In a moment.
This is a stunning example of Philadelphia Soul.
The single features incredible vocal performances from the
group, but it's the beating, horn driven rhythm of the song
which makes it such a anthem for Northern Soul.
While it's energy level is not as high as some of the floor
filling heavy hitters, the song still maintains a strong command
over soul dance floors. Tonight wasn't about 1 sound, it
was about the blend, the voices, the grooves, the emotion in
between because that's where soul really lives.
Not in one place, but in the mix.
Until the next time, bye bye. There's a soul in there.
There's a soul in. The soul in the soul I've.
Got a feeling people been talking there.
You've got to somebody new. Yeah.
Care what they're saying. I don't care what they're
saying. Don't know.
Chill. Chat, it really doesn't matter.
People get misinterpretation because they don't understand
the real situation. Ease.
My mind and say you need staying and my.
Darling. What?
They're saying. Hey, tell me that it's not.
So. No, no it's not.
So. Sometimes I hear them, they're
whispering. They say I'm just for wasting my
time. I.
Don't. Care what they're saying.
I don't care what they're saying.
No. No.
Really doesn't matter. People always jump into
conclusion, talk to cheap and call the confusion.
Call me close and say you'll never leave me back my darling.
What that? Say, say.
Say, say, say. People always jumping to
concluded you talk is cheek. And call this conceivable homie.
Trophy Hey, you'll never leave me let my.
Darling, what that say? Oh.
Baby tell me that it's. Not so.
Oh baby.
