Judy Street - "What" - Northern Soul Weekender 2012

Judy Street performs the chart topping, Northern Soul hit, "What" at Blackpool Tower during the Northern Soul weekender.

[@jezzoo5162]

Wow ! Listening to this I'm 13 yrs old again in 70's Yorkshire. One of the best Northern Soul tracks ever recorded, I still have my original copy 45 yrs later.

[@dannymactheatreoflife.1771]

Wow I can remember dancing my heart out at Wigan casino to this track I was only 13 years old at the time great memories .👍❤️

[@briantipping2778]

I’ve owned this class tune ever since it was first released & signed by Judy herself !!

[@tinadavies4195]

Honest to God I've got goosebumps on goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Absolutely brilliant Judy. 62yrs old and this music will only leave me when I'm up by the pearly gates.✊

[@dlew3624]

Lol you ain't getting out of it that easy,pretty sure they have all nighters up there KTF. 😅

[@dannymactheatreoflife.1771]

❤️

[@Bigbear574]

Would’ve love to have been there. What a voice after all these years. A fantastic live version, that does so much justice to the single. Judy could show a few of todays artists, how to sing live. Such a fantastic background story, that Judy had know idea about her fame over here in England until the mid 1990’s. So pleased for her to get the credit all these years later.

[@rodneysadd7799]

That was brilliant, this lady has still got lots of talent. Not many tunes make me get that cold feeling of nostalgia.

[@Firehotbeats803]

Amazing to see one of the finest Northern Soul tunes performed by the original artist live today 🥰

[@colinanthony7871]

Judy wasn't the original artiste. Melinda Marx (Groucho's daughter) did it 3 years earlier in 65 on VJ.

[@blackpool321]

Gave me shivers down my spine , absolute class .

[@upster1967au]

Me too !!!

[@bobfunkhouse1161]

On point Judy! no earpiece no monitors just talent! great vocal!

[@Buster225]

One of best northern dance tunes, spin spin spin clap

[@markwilliams6084]

Still looks and sounds great. Memorable single too. Love it.

[@keithglover2483]

What a fantastic singer she is and still so good after all this time

[@patriciamyatt1205]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant after all these years from her first recording of this great classic. Well done Judy Street. Wish I had of been there.

[@iantomlinson8685]

The record that started it all for me. Judy your magic and always will be.

[@chimneydriptray2439]

Loads of hope loads of energy … brilliant Judy keep it going forever. Get off your knees and start dancing again.

[@amazeingteacher]

That’s my piano teacher! Great job Mrs. Judy!! 👏👏

[@sandisheldon2256]

Wigan floating and stomping on the dance floor!!! Thanks for those wonderful times Judy. KTF everyone. All the girls twirling with their full circle skirts at the end. Lovely memories.

[@Pulsonar]

I look at the gathering and wonder if the people are really appreciating how much effort this woman is putting into making this song work the magic again for the faithful. After all it was nearly 45 years since she recorded that legendary single.

[@shytalker]

***** to be fair have you any idea how big that dance floor is, ??? it was built c1900 for 2.000 Dancers. a very big Venue to fill/

[@ianwhitehurst700]

She still as it what a sound

[@debrawright9195]

I LOVE this song! I've been there, danced on that floor at soul weekenders. Many of the punters are in their 60s/ 70s now. So lots of people just stand on the sidelines or sit to listen to the acts. All very much appreciated in my experience. Well done Richard Searling, Kevin Roberts and Co actually getting them over to the UK. Keep the faith ✊

[@theantiauthoritarian.1540]

Because thats the RESPECT the ppl have for the singer. Let her sing the song "without" hullabaloo going on. If the ppl are DANCING they ARE enjoying it!! KTF. 😉😎

[@robertstark8527]

Magic, one of my favourites she’s amazing.

[@nigeledgecome110]

Still a great voice and northern soul great.

[@bigbreadeaterellis]

Judy is a great singer...and its so good to know she is still filling our ears with her lovely voice. What is a classic...up there with dusty

[@suebradford5758]

I got Tingles when you mentioned Dusty ✝️ Thank you 👍🎶❤✊

[@davi504]

Great when hey dont alter the song. Well done Judy. So many memories flood back

[@jayrox40]

[@bobgibson1174]

Tears in my eyes, what can I say. KTF

[@kennethstark9383]

Absolutely fantastic legend ❤❤❤

[@simonbrooksstoryteller]

Brings tears to me eyes! Go Judy!

[@extrastype]

i often wonder if at the time American artists realized working class kids in northern cities here in UK were going nuts to records they were recording back in the states, most of the northern soul dance tracks sold virtually nothing at the time so they probably thought no one was listening/dancing to them...

[@user-tc8oo8ik3q]

I bet they had no idea that the kids from the North of England were listening to great sounds from the USA and dancing to these soulful sounds amazing times of Northern soul

[@rw8733]

What an absolute joy. Thank you.

[@TheFatmonty]

Amazing. Am still in love …….thank you

One of my top three best ever NS songs. Judy's voice not as strong as it was on original but still ace performer. My other two from top three are tony Clarke, Landside and Little Anthony and Imperials - Better use your head.
