October 2, 200915 yr my opinions on this chart are similar to brians, except im not so keen on chinny chap / glam. 'ive been hurt' was a northern soul classic, if i get chance (or unless someone beats me too it...) ill post a youtube vid.. but ive not much time. much though i HATED sweet soul/philly i did like the detroit emeralds, 'i think of you' was quite good imho, but not as good as 'feel the need in me'.
