Jimmy Ruffin. Or any of 100 others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 put me on the spot with that question, and it'll probably change daily. I like "It's a shame" by the Detroit Spinners a lot. One of my favourite intro's to a song that Mos, great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I watched the motown programme on tv last night, great sounds came from that label, great insight into the production line of music they made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I get the sweetest feeling is a great song I was born in 1987 I thank my mum for blaring out old school dance sisters for RNB and my dad for the northern soul. I can honestly say I'm not naive torwards any of it even linkin park etc I can listen to. Hearing them titles you've mentioned and recognising some of them, makes me want to listen to them now!

Rev Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 1 am Motown at the BBC, followed by Northern Soul: Living for the Weekend on BBC4, both repeats but worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 What you mean as in Alvaston? I was from Chaddesden till a few months ago. My Dads lived in Alvaston for years.He's originally a Ossie park road lad though and him and his brothers were and still are really into the Northern scene. We used to meet at their house and practice the dancing and listen to records. John was always the better dancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
