Stabs 3 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 There's too many.... Frank Wilson has to be up there as does R Dean Taylor "Ghost in my House" Have you ever heard Smokey Robinson's version of Heard it through the grapevine? Superb and very danceable The Four Tops are may all time faves though and Levi Stubbs has the best voice ever...Seven Rooms of Gloom, Standing in the Shadows of Love, Bernadette.....all sublime songs. Anf then there's the Temps....David Ruffin's voice is a belter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh mate skinhead and souly Girls did it for me Dancing round in their Polyveldt shoes , there was a couple of local souly sisters who was always at any gigs! we used to love it when they was dancing and they had to spin! neither of them wore any Knickers .... My heads like a sive these days but I could have that album! I have a good few mixed Albums and my little box of Northern soul records up the loft, never played any of them for years! for some reason you don't get turn table's these days with Music Centres but I would like to have a listen again one day....
