Ketty Lester - Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

Anonymous Dad Dancer, we salute you! Check out the talc on the kitchen floor and a great tune too!

Judy Street - What

A few more northern soul posts, this time with musings on one of my favourite topics, Dad Dancing. The essence of Dad Dancing is to remain convinced that you are busting brilliant dance moves when even a 2-year old would recognise a creaky old duffer prancing around in some kind of jerky, breathless, fantasy state. Northern soul is great for Dad Dancing. Everybody thinks they can do that northern soul backward-stepping dance move but only proper northern soul dancers can. I am not a proper northern soul dancer, I'm a Dad Dancer, and I've always been inspired by the clip above from Wigan Casino as it appeared on Granada TV's This England documentary. Marvel at the high energy precision of those dancers and wonder where are they now or, more importantly, are they dads?



An example of good northern soul dancing of the kind that even a Dad Dancer could aspire to. This guy was apparently captured mucking about at work so someone has edited the video adding Judy Sreet as the backing track. Genius!



Try this at home.

Lorraine Silver - Lost Summer Love

Wow! Last post was August with a summer soul mix and now all of a sudden it's winter, how did that happen? Here is Lorraine Silver capturing that end of summer feeling perfectly with 'Lost Summer Love' which she recorded at the tender age of 13 in 1965. Thanks to Mod Generation for a fantastic video.
