The first song I ever heard by Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - at Leeds Central Soul Club in the late 70's. It seems to have been largely forgotten on the Soul scene in the U.K. - which is a great pity. Southside is far better known on the other side of the pond and is still doing the do today. One of the best live acts I've ever seen. From the brilliant Hearts Of Stone album, produced by Steve Van Zandt and with a little help from the Bruce! Buy it today - you won't be disappointed. Apologies to Southside fans who come across this on YT as you'll know all this already :-)

@oximaureen I couldn't agree more - along with Bruce and Little Steven he's the best live act I've seen over the years. Like yourself it's my mission in life to try and convert as many people as possible to his stuff :-)12 years ago

Just saw him tonight! His voice is raspy and rapturous, and the band is beyond reproach! I brought people who said they would go to the free concert, but could take or leave Johnny...at the end of the night they were crying! He and his band are amazing, inspiring...what music is all about!12 years ago

One of my favourite songs by my favourite band. I always thought this is as perfect as a 3-minute pop song can get.13 years ago

Top man Alan Rhodes - I liked him a lot Do you know how he is these days? I first heard IPTFool at the Central in Leeds and then went on to be a lifetime fan of all SJ's stuff Seeing SJ this Oct/Nov at Holmfirth !! I don't think the Northern connection ever had much impact on him :-) Lots of people the other side of the pond still fans though - thankfully.13 years ago

@brindlog You're not on your own Des - most UK soul fans have forgotten his stuff which is a shame because for a white boy he's go a lot of soul :-) BRILLIANT live!14 years ago

@tibus That's true and it must be that which keeps drawing me back to it even after 30 odd years.14 years ago

Every Time I hear this tune of yours Derek I think of Dexy's Midnight Runners, I think I have said that to you before you posted it on here on Youtube, you only need to hear this and you can tell they must have been fans of his style. It's a great upbeat track with a great rhythm section that's hard not to like, very very nice *****14 years ago

Just goes to show the breadth of music that,over the years,has been absorbed into what we know as the Northern Soul scene.Related Videos
