I love watching Northern Soulers dance - they're amazing! I remember being told how they used to get through loads of Johnson's baby powder so their shoes would slide on the dance floor. We have a friend who is 70 and he still goes to Northern Soul gigs - he guest DJ's at a lot of them - and he still gets on the dance floor! When Wigan was still open my Mum wouldn't let me go - she said I was too young to travel that far (100+ miles). By the time I was old enough sadly, it had closed down! So it's really lovely to watch videos like this - thanks for sharing on KZitem!

I Went for the first an only time in 1977, I was only 18, but if I'd gone before, underage, I thought there might be a chance of being kicked out, I made sure that I was legal before I went there, if I'd known what I know now, I would have been there most weekends.

Definitely NOT the Contours. More likely to be The Monitors (or a group that sounds like them), if you listen properly. Also, sounds like an Ian Levine modern recording to me, to me this may not be an old track - if Levine is involved, then possibly recorded in the 90s/00s in Lancashire / Merseyside.

From Motown expert Keith Hughes. It explains everything. It isn't the Contours. It's most likely the demo vocal for the song (titled "Can't Help This Feeling", and written by Marilyn McLeod and Dean & Weatherspoon) which was recorded Sept 12 1968. The track was destined for the Four Tops, and they duly added their vocals, thereby wiping the demo vocal, and their finished version remains in the Vaults, unissued. This version has been around for a while, but the start of the track has been very cleverly added by someone - as I've known it till now, the recording fades in at the beginning, indicating the original source was damaged in some way. No-one I know has ever identified the demo singer convincingly.
