I have to say, this is one of the most interesting Northern Soul tunes I have ever heard. I love the way she sings around the beat, like a feather in the wind...it's evocative.
Elayne you've got the best of both worlds and more: you love punk rock and you gotta HAVE soul to LOVE SOUL. Rita and the Tiaras track is a knockout, just like you! 5x in a row I've listened to "Gone with the wind..." P.s. check out a track by Youth Brigade called "Punk rock mom". Stay sweet!
No you are not😎 Punk Northern. Blues. Reggae. Ska. The list goes on. KTF Hope to see people (those who are left to see, Too many gone. Sadly. My Mick.Morgan. More great Micks Cruisey +Mick H Too many 😢 Hey, They would want us dancing Lu 🐝
In Oakland, we had KDIA lucky 13. Love this song, still remember sitting in the backseat of my parents car staring out the window and hearing this on the radio. Miss those days.
am i the only 12 year old that grew up listening to northern soul? my dad used to play it and now it’s sort of starting an addiction. it’s me and my dads favourite song this one :)
I never ever grow tired of listening to Northern and this is an example of our fantastic music. Only 62 and just want to give it large on the floor even though the reality is its in my head only!
Arguably the greatest of all NS songs, the singer is so special. I still don’t get how a song of this calibre didn’t storm mainstream charts massively, it literally floors me (no pun intended) every single time.
same here...everytime i hear it im like what did they not do, what happened to keep this burner from changing more peoples lives back in the 60s. so very well written of a song and from what i've researched a one-off for the song writer as most other tracks he wrote werent as impactful (imo). hope rita got some shine somewhere along the line from knowing how bada$$ she rocks it on this now legendary song!!
I gave up everything I love, I liked What things I possessed I knew it was wrong, you said you were straight And I did it for you babe And now I see you leave right out of my life My heart cries out I gave you love and my devotion And I gave you my soul Well my love, love, love He's gone with the wind is my love Like a bird in the sky He's gone with the wind is my love I thought he could weather the storms of life, stand by me Through the pains and strife But at the first sign of a breeze, he freezed He fled with the wind Now who can I lean on when all my friends and folks have gone? But I know that they really want to love and to comfort me But who can take away a pain of love, a pain that starts A tear to swell deep in my heart and I, burst into tears Well my love, love, love He's gone with the wind is my love Like a petal on a rose He's gone with the wind is my love I thought he could weather the storms of life, stand by me Through the pains and strife But at the first sign of a breeze, he freezed He fled with the wind Each night I hope and pray for his return My heart still burns, when all I knew was a love so good And I break down and cry Well my love, love, love He's gone with the wind is my love Like a sail on a mast He's gone with the wind is my love My baby he's gone (baby he's gone) He's gone with the wind (gone with the wind) A part of my life (part of my life) He's out of sight (he's gone with the wind) My baby he's gone (baby he's gone)
This is a great song, but what an astounding emotional and jazzy voice, how did Rita Graham not take to the skies with that soaring talent ? Just doesn't compute!
@@grahamyates6570 Don’t think this was ever played at the Wheel (but will stand corrected), most probably at the Casino and after that, so some of us who were there at the beginning would not have heard it, anyway a great sound x

This 60yr old woman gets a bit down now and then, but whack the n.s vinyl on then it's definitely gone with the wind,feel much better in myself listening to the best music ever,beats taking the pills any day and that's the truth.
Love this cannot wait to get to get on my local dance floor to dance to this with all my Soulie friends at the Midland Band Club in Kettering, K.T.F. at 65 years old.
Wow. I started going to soul clubs in the sixties and this is one of the best sounds I’ve ever heard, this song would have blown everyone away at the Wheel.
Love dancing to this! 🎶🎵🎶🎵
I bought my fishtail parker in 1979 now at 60 ive still got it, it was a moment in time that i will never forget and always remember.

I thank the film "Northern Soul" for bringing this absolute gem to me.😍
I never actually recall hearing this song in the film. The song is on the soundtrack though. Watched the film numerous times but never come across it!

One of my favourite Northern Soul songs. Haunting vocals, yet uplifting.
Ive seen Soulies dancing, singing this with tears streaming down their faces.
Thats Northern Soul.

It does not get better than this. Simple as
I gave up everything I love, I liked
What things I possessed
I knew it was wrong, you said you were straight
And I did it for you babe
And now I see you leave right out of my life
My heart cries out
I gave you love and my devotion
And I gave you my soul
Well my love, love, love
He's gone with the wind is my love
Like a bird in the sky
He's gone with the wind is my love
I thought he could weather the storms of life, stand by me
Through the pains and strife
But at the first sign of a breeze, he freezed
He fled with the wind
Now who can I lean on when all my friends and folks have gone?
But I know that they really want to love and to comfort me
But who can take away a pain of love, a pain that starts
A tear to swell deep in my heart and I, burst into tears
Well my love, love, love
He's gone with the wind is my love
Like a petal on a rose
He's gone with the wind is my love
I thought he could weather the storms of life, stand by me
Through the pains and strife
But at the first sign of a breeze, he freezed
He fled with the wind
Each night I hope and pray for his return
My heart still burns, when all I knew was a love so good
And I break down and cry
Well my love, love, love
He's gone with the wind is my love
Like a sail on a mast
He's gone with the wind is my love
My baby he's gone (baby he's gone)
He's gone with the wind (gone with the wind)
A part of my life (part of my life)
He's out of sight (he's gone with the wind)
My baby he's gone (baby he's gone)
Melissa Ceron thank you, I’ve often wondered about some of the lyrics.

1967 what a great song this was played in every club in Philly throughout the 70”s and 80.s when music had great talent 🇺🇸
Rita and the tiaras, such a tune that evokes passion and emotion, she is so charismatic, simply a purist northern soul track.
An excellent track! An excellent voice! What a swinging number!!! A fan and an admirer from Pakistan!
