Dai Bank May 2021 12:23pm, 12 May 2021 5,517 posts	0 Dai Bank While wasting half an hour on youtube along comes Curtis Mayfield' Move on Up being danced to by 2 ladies under the title Northern Soul in the garden. No idea why it came up as I was watching some motor rallying and went back to the home page and there it was. This brought back so many memories of this then 15 year old from a South Coast beach holiday in 1971 when the song was released as a single and spent some time in the charts. Like most of the songs that I love I have it on most formats and saw a greatest hits CD in Manchester a few years ago that I snapped up immediately to add to my collection.

Even after his devasting accident on stage, Mayfield went on composing and singing. People Get Ready .... they've been getting ready a very long time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdKEbnS1eBE [Apols, not really NS.]
