I'm 23 year old, a northern lad - Yorkshire. and I couldn't be happier to say my mum brought me up properly! keen memories of her stomping on a Sunday in the kitchen listening to classics whilst cooking, thank god she reflected her amazing taste in such an amazing sound ! on me.. keep the faith ✌...
I have to say--God bless my British brothers and sisters for recognizing what a great soul song this is and bringing it out of the shadows. The Northern Soul movement has revived more good music than anything I can think of in the last 30 years. Too bad you guys couldn't have dropped into Maverick's Flat in '69--you would have been in heaven.
This is a true Northern soul classic, as memory serves, I believe the British made it a smash through the Northern soul circuit, corect me if I'm wrong Ian but, I believe it was a huge hit in the uk and then the usa, sadly Dobie is no longer with us, we shall never forget his work. Great work Ian, your fans are many !!!
Ahhhhhh ! Harringtons, Fred Perry Shirts,Staypress Trousers,OxBlood loafers, Trying to Practice our dance moves in the Fifth Form Unit at France hill School Surrey,77-78!.........ended up with a twisted ankle and broken wrist....bloody hurt at the time, but hey..rose tinted glasses and all that! Fab Record, Everlasting classic...
Not sure how I got here, started with The Beatles then The Eagles, then the Righteous Brothers - So its Northern Soul then! Put the zimmer frame down, pump up the volume and shaking my tail feathers! love NS
I remember the mad rush to the dance floor, to this great classic song. Amazing. Sweet as sweet can be, Thanks for posting. Keep the Faith, once a N Soul lover, always a N soul lover. It stays in your heart, and, theres nothing you can do about it but, Recal great, Times, music, when music was music, and Dance Dance Dance. KTF. LOL .
Very first time hearing "Out On The Floor", but I instantly recognized Dobie Gray's sound. This easily could have been a Top Ten Hit nationwide. Odd how some spectacular music never makes the grade here in America (or elsewhere for that matter). Glad this resurfaced to become a cult classic. 12/2018
Wow I was surprised to find this, It makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear It reminds me of the wheatly taverns in East London and Dave Brown especialy the "livley Lady" "Spooky Lady" and the Goldmine Canvey Island
As with Bobby Sheen's "Dr. Love," "The 81" by Candy & the Kisses, and The Orlons' "Envy," our British brothers and sisters in soul took a '60s soul gem and gave it a second life--far bigger than it's original airing--and turned many people on to it on BOTH sides of the Atlantic. Bless them for that.
This was a true northern soul floor filler, ironic how it was a hit in the uk and not the usa, I saw this performed by Dobie in stockport.(poco poco club)
Stripevince1 I agree with you putting the thumbs down there off there faces this was one of my first records I ever bought Ktf to everyone Connected to the massive soul scene ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
This song just grows and grows, didnt get me first time I heard it, but it dances into your head looking for somewhere to nest forever! A really great feel-good, free-spirited song.
Wasn't really a Northern Soul Fan, never made it to Wigan Casino, although I know that I missed out on some good times, but I always loved this song. Pity you can't turn back time.
