Every now and then, I get a request for a tune which I may not have played for a long time which was awesome in its day, and which is not heard often on Radio / TV. A kind of 'gone but not forgotten' tune.
These have all been recent requests which have made me go WOW, all quality tunes that deserve a good airing:
Soul II Soul - Fairplay
Jon Carter - It's yours
Ten City - That's the way love is
Katmandu - I wanna dance
Hamilton Bohannon - Let's start the dance II
Nightcrawlers - push the feeling on
So, what WOW! requests have you had?

I bet motown still sounds bad on your system!!! Funny how they did not use bass in that stable, but they did in non-motown 60's outfits like the chiffons.... I digress.
Yes, I had two "quality tunes" requested on Sunday night and both were well recieved by the dancers.
They were:
Level 42-Lessons in love
and
Jade- dont walk away.
Forgotten classix, I love 'em!

I can vouch for that...it was so loud, and so punchy that you almost couldnt hear every commerical burgular alarm with a vibration sensor, going off within 2 miles of the speakers...
The speakers themselves would have impressed the guys that put up Stonehenge!

Is that an old disc Paula?
Many Thanks Paula, I'm bidding on it now. Some great tunes on there!
i got asked for Duane Eddie and Sandy Nelson the other day, as this guy said he had lost all his vinyl, and has been looking for them for 15/20 years

You should get hold of the version by Tito Puente & India, this can be good for background music during the meal or for a latin set
Some great old requests I've had recently:
Dennis Brown - Money in my pocket & Ain't that lovin you
Keith Sweat - I want her
Alyus - Follow me
James Brown & Marva Whitney - Sunny
Brian,
I was also asked for Ten City - That's the way love is at the weekend, what a top choon; I played that then mixed in Right back to you and then Joe Smooth-promised land & then Frankie-tears had the crowd going mental all singing along at the top of their voices

A long time ago I read somewhere that Berry Gordy deliberately made Motown tracks with no deep bass, so that they sounded better on the car radios of the time.
Any bass would cause the single 4" speaker in the dashboard to distort. Producing songs with no bass ment that Motown tracks would always sound clearer to people listening on their car radios, and allow them to turn them up louder than other songs that had bass.

How fascinating, that makes sense. And how things have changed eh!
By the way, I had to play a John
Denver track on Saturday. What an absolute load of complete and utter 
- a complete contrast to what we are talking about on this thread. Mind you, the customer requested it and liked it, good for them.
Last two Weddings have produced an amazing list of requests. From the 'really crap' to 'amazing!' 
Recently:
Hamilton Bohannon - Let's Start II Dance
Disco Lady - Johnnie Taylor
Love Will Bring Us Back Together - Roy Ayers
