I love the Northern Soul genre. :slightly_smiling_face:

I donā€™t mind it.I had a friend who was very keen and he took me to some all- nighters but everyone was on speed and it all got a bit too much :grinning:

I was going to say I absolutely love this song but got confused with another song called Baby itā€™s you by Promises in 1978.
The Shirelles song is still great, as were the Shirelles.
