I LOVVVVVVE THIS !!! My mother had all his music, and she would play this on Saturdays when we'd do chores around the house, we had a speaker system throughout the house - she'd put this on!! LOL WOW - talk about memories. I used to do my dustin' and vaccuming to this and dance around the house. lol Thanks for a great post!!!

[@renategarten8175]

Dieses Stück war die Intro -Musik der "Berichte von heute" spätabends auf WDR 2 / WDR 5, bis die Sendung vor einigen Jahren aus dem Programm flog. Sehr schade. Leider hatte ich Titel und Interpreten vergessen. Habe heute Abend Mike Litt (Moderator der Sendung POP! auf WDR2) kontaktiert und um Info gebeten. Dies machte er kurz darauf in der Sendung, spielte das Stück auch kurz an. Ich war total begeistert.

[@neilaustin5045]

Besides Oh Happy Day we weren't allowed to listen to Secular Music But of course someone recorded it from a AM Radio Station and we listened and danced. Listen to the talent of the Piano, Horns, Drums, Tambourine and of course handclaps. You've done great work here for Gospel History Soultime. Tku.

[@JAG312]

This music is medicine. This makes me feel young again. It gets my feet moving and my blood pumping. But feel sorry for those who dislike this. They are dead but don't know it yet.

[@aparcelofowls]

Powerful stuff. Always was a favourite.

[@scoutaboutinteriors9030]

I made a big mistake and sold my vinyl collection a few years ago. All my northern soul and Bowie collection. My funkadelic, bootsy Collins - what was I thinking? ( she sobs )

[@martir3499]

You did what you had to at the time. So now collect them again here.

[@barbararichmond2167]

[@rockprettybaby]

It's so funny, hearing this described as Northern Soul - my dad was listening to it so many years ago as be-bop jazz! But it's the most amazing track. I absolutely adore "And I love her" from the same period. Super cool. Thanks for posting ;o)

Ramsey Lewis' music got me into jazz when I was about ten years old...

[@stephanbackert1797]

this is the title music from "Berichte von heute" (Reports from today, a daily news show) and it was playing everyday on german public radio NDR since 1979.

[@tropicalpancake56]

Lovin' it!!!

[@nikkiimmens6764]

[@potdog1000]

seriously cool

[@Lulugirard94]

Makes me want to dance the Four Corners!

[@barbararichmond2167]

When it's 4AM and you can't sleep, stay up and listen to the best of The Ramsey Lewis Trio

[@VancouverTVGuy]

I remember hearing another Ramsey Lewis version of this song a few times on the radio a few years back, featuring just the Trio - Lewis on piano and his backing players on bass and drums with no other instruments backing them up, and that version was played in a slightly more uptempo mode. I'd been trying to find that version of that song for some time (including on KZbin), but had no luck until I finally found and downloaded it on iTunes from The Essential Ramsey Lewis - The Columbia Years recently.

[@rememberourmusic53]

How wonderful of you to feature Ramsey Lewis. Today, May 27th 2016, is his 81st birthday! Please check out my youtube channel honoring Ramsey Lewis and other great African-American artists like Robert Johnson, “King of the Delta blues singers”; Ernest Hogan, “Father of ragtime”; James Brown, “Godfather of soul” and Patti LaBelle, "Godmother of Soul" - all born in the month of May.

[@chrishutchinson6877]

For me this version of the tune is supreme- I used to dance all night to it CH

[@avepercival7854]

my all time favourite northen soul track

[@soulfella1]

[@arancienne]

[@mowestjohn]

Top Tune!

[@andersingram]

The apocryphal explanation for the term 'northern soul' you hear around is... The term 'northern soul' was coined in a record shop in London to describe the somewhat more up tempo style of music requested by travelling northern football fans which was popular in the northern club scene of the time in Wigan, Blackpool etc .... at a time when the more mellow west coast soul sound was become popular in the south of England...
