Beekay 5,159 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 A belated apology for Cliff Ton. I made an error with the Dean Martin film, with John Wayne. It was 'Rio Bravo' and not Rio Lobo. Sorry for any misunderstanding caused. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I'm absolutely certain he would've known a few of the young ladies there and invited them for a quick 'Twist'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oddly, I was out in the car earlier listening to music and sort of re-imagining a night down the 360.. This could be how a Friday night might go around 1968/9.. While 'setting up' and waiting for the crowds... Ok.. let's wind this up a bit... And again.... Bring it down a bit..... Obviously the night went on for four hours or more... with loads of toons... P'raps a bit of Ska.... ...and we wouldn't miss... ..and the all time classic.. Blimey..I'm sweatin' Cobs!! One more!! And bringing it down for a 'slowie...' 'Course it could have been a set from thousands of tunes..but these are my faves tonight.. Enjoy!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,730 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 @Red..we played the Toys song too but it was seen as a bit 'lightweight'. Really like the Elgins and the Velvelettes though, some superb tunes from them. Did you know the Temptations were called the Elgins early on? Here's another few but I'm just back from visiting friends, so I'm not staying up long tonight. Where I can, I'm trying to find footage of the original artists, not just pics of labels.... Another 'setting up' opener.. Here we go!! Amazing genuine 60's dancing on this rare vid of the Velvellettes. A little breather.... It wasn't all Motown.... This version of Midnight Hour, mostly associated with Wilson Pickett, was a big hit for the Mirettes and went down well at the 360. Terrible sound..but a fab video.... Calm down a bit... Time for the last floorfiller..... And a 'snogger'.... Night!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360, often used to hear Theme 1 closing down Radio 1 after overtime on the afternoon shift. Van Der Graff Generator did a half decent version too. Not heard the Mirettes version of In the Midnight Hour before, it's not half bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 894 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Another nostalgic reminder. To that I can add Cotton Fields and Bad Moon. In fact I think most of CCR's output is remarkable. (Opinion.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doodle 35 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I first heard this played one Friday night in The Fountain pub in Nottm town centre can't remember the name of the area but it was a bit further down and on the other side of the walk from the clothes shop Wardrobe and a bit further along on the corner was the clothes shop Birdcage (another of my haunts!). I was with a friend & asked if she knew what it was as I luved it! It took me yonks to find out the song title & that it was The Elgins singing it - still luv it today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,730 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 It is indeed Siddha, but I'm kind of forced to make the same point again... Most of what got lumped in under the description of 'Northern Soul', was stuff which I and many others had been playing from at least the early 1960s onwards..long before the term 'Northern Soul' was coined. What happened was that the'Northern' crowd picked those soul tracks..and a few which had bugger all to do with soul..which suited their BPM and dance rhythm requirements and inserted them into an 'invention', called Northern Soul. Along the way they also dumped most of the Stax/Atlantic and similar soul featuring the likes of Redding, Sam and Dave, Joe Tex, Don Covay etc..etc.., because it didn't fit their ideal. I'm not knocking it. I can understand the excitement of being 'in on' something different and a little bit tribal. Obviously loads of folk had a ball, which is fine, but I just wish those guys would realise and acknowedge that they did not invent this music, they appropriated it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Godin So..having got that off of my chest.... .. Here's another 1967 'Northern Soul' classic I was playing before anyone had heard of Northern Soul.. And another from 1965.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
