Do The Shing A Ling - 20 Northern Soul Tracks


Do The Shing A Ling - 20 Northern Soul Tracks!
America, and more exactly, Black America seemed to spend much of the 1960’s inventing moves to go with their dance music. Not many today could remember how to do the Watusi, the Jerk or the Skate, tho’ most could do a Twist of some sort. Northern Soul’s origines lie in the mid Sixties and that’s where the Shing-A-Ling lived lending it’s name to a Small nimber of records typified by a frenetic and urgent approach usuelle fuelled by tambourines. To be honest I do not even know which the first Shing-A-Ling records is, nor did too many discs assume the apellage but some are inclued here together with a number of others typifying the style and tempo not only of a dance but also of Northern Soul.

NEXT DJ GIG !!!


Don Covay - See Saw


Speaking of soul, Don Covay Has It. He demonstrates that moving quality on every song in this album, from the opening See-Saw to the closing Mercy, Mercy. He also displays a tender quality on such plaintive material as Precious Years, I Never Get Enough Of Your Love, The Usual Place, and A Woman's Love.
Exciting, soulful, tender, warm - these adjectives describe the vocal style of Don Covay, a performer who is successful in three areas of show business, as a singer, composer and a dance innovator

SIDE1 See-Saw / The Boomerang / Everything Gonna Be Everything / Fat Man / Precious You / Iron Out The Right Spots /

SIDE2 /Please Do Something / I Never Get Enough Of Your Love / The Usual Place / A Woman's Love / Sookie Sookie / Mercy, Mercy.

Like Wilson Pickett, Atlantic recording artist Don Covay made the pilgrimage to the 926 E. McLemore, Memphis TN famous Stax studio to record 4 tracks which produced 2 hit records: See-Saw and Sookie Sookie. The two other Stax recorded tracks on this overall fine LP: Never Get Enough Of Your Love and Iron Out The Right Spots are also pure Stax sound gems, backed by Booker T. & The MG's and the Mar-Keys horns at their very best.
