Dobie Gray-Out on the floor (Northern Soul)

[@philipbegley4513]

A sound and movement that'll never did when folk still keep listening, watching and dancing to the best music out there.

[@juliehawkins8771]

My sister in the 70s I was so proud to see her do Northants soul she just flew across that dance floor it was so great bev my sis is 65 this year well done bev so proud of you xxx

[@trishlett40]

Is this your sister dancing? If so, she was amazing! I'm recovering from a brain tumour op & my daughter took me to a Northern Soul night here in Perth Western Australia last night. I sat watching the dancing & listening to the great sounds, there was even young people dancing, I planned on leaving at 8pm, it started at 6pm & I stayed till 11.30pm, I talked to 3 lads who lived about 10 min drive from me in England, it did me the world of good, they say music is food for the soul. My daughter said "mom, if this was my last day on this earth then I left feeling really happy" as we continued singing together driving home.

My mum is/was a big northern soul fan and has told me so many brilliant stories about her travelling down to Wigan and going to "all nighters". I swear my mum and her friends had way much more fun than my generation!

I have the '45 - but never got to Wigan. From N.Yorks originally & danced to all of this when I was 14/15 yrs old and could still dance to IT ALL NOW! 💃🥳

Can't believe I was dancing to this in 1978 in Normanton Copacabana pub.

[@stixpooper3704]

Great northern soul classic. That relentless bass line locked in with the drums is what drives this song and makes it irresistible for dancing!

[@London1064]

How can anyone give this video the thumbs down. Great music, great dancing and so full of energy. Top notch 👍👍👍👍

[@simster45]

because they know they cant dance like this ;-))

You get some sad spiteful vindictive people on here, usually the dreaming ones that think they used to be great dancers?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's out of sight. Classic Northern Soul.

[@scopex2749]

I used to be scared to get up and dance when I was in the forces. A mate called Mike from Wigan showed me this and there was no looking back. Sadly the Casino is gone and so has my old mate Mike a few years ago - thanks Mike - enjoy the great dance floor in the sky mate! KEEP THE FAITH - NORTHERN SOUL - FOREVER

[@kennethmcguire5606]

This reminds me of Wigan and shouting at my mate to wake up at 3 am to dance. 1978 me and Di and the crew from West Yorkshire. Wigan gave me hope and made me, That should be an advertisement for all young people in the forces. Those days were electric.

[@philipburke9812]

Mike would be so proud off you keeping the faith my friend

[@yorkiegeoff1825]

Yep We’ve all become oldies now 🙄

[@susandumbill8805]

This music can always be for all age groups. So uplifting because the music is brilliant!

[@Pulsonar]

Dobie Gray had such a beautiful Crystal clear voice, he should’ve enjoyed much greater success than he got. His ‘In Crowd’ hit was a phenomenal international hit, he deserved many more.

[@Yorkie2]

Sadly it was the same for the majority of northern soul artists at that time. None of them got the recognition or loyalties for their records .

[@lesleysmith8300]

Just wished l knew it when l was younger, as l love it. I'm trying to learn how to do it but I'm 64 ,🤣🤣🤣

[@simonprice1938]

Was At cannington agricultural college in Bridgewater Somerset. Bout as far away from the scene as you could get. Then in early 78 a lad from around possibly Wigan or Bolton ( sorry it was a long time back.) Came for a two week course in I believe dairy technology hygiene. Cant remember his name poss mark, or colin. He introduced me to this great music. I would love to meet him again. Sadly pre mobile phone days no net either, so easy to lose touch. But I thank you from my heart buddy. I did indeed keep the faith from that day till this.. godless ya. Although at 60 now the knees have sadly gone.. lol.🤣🤣🤣🤣

She has brilliant rhythm with terrific tempo to boot. She’s is a pleasure to watch. Just one down side: she’s only in the vid for 10 seconds! :(
