I've saved the best for last.
Those of you who have been following the Blogs for a number of years will fondly remember Drew of Across the Kitchen Table fame. He was one of my inspirations when starting my Blog and I have had the pleasure of meeting him on a couple of occasions.
From April to June 2015 he published a few posts which he titled as My Northern Soul Top 50. I duly downloaded them all and burnt them onto a couple of CDs which is what folk did back then and titled it with a distinct lack of imagination as Drew's Northern Soul Top 50.
I shall feature the top three in reverse order.
At number three, and fulfilling my featured female artist criteria is Ruby Andrews with Just Loving You described succinctly by Drew as Just Sublime.
At number two he has an Ashford & Simpson song Don't Send Nobody Else performed by the wonderfully named Ace Spectrum.
For number one Drew writes from the moment I heard this track it became the greatest northern track ever in my eyes and I haven't heard anything since that has made me think twice about its position.
The artist and song in question ? The brilliant Jackie Wilson with Because of You.
Fortunately Drew's posts are still available with this one describing the Top 10. Searches will reveal the rest of the Top 50 and many other brilliant songs to.
A great rabbit hole to fall down.
Excellent. Drew is much missed from these parts.
