Disappearing down an Impressions rabbit hole led me to "Can't Satisfy" (for which they were sued by Motown for ripping off "This Old Heart Of Mine"), and it's used on THIS amazing footage of Mod kids dancing in The Plebeians club, Halifax, 1967.
@elisjames - your theoretical Northern Soul girl from #thepast, who works in the market and wears fingerless gloves etc etc, is almost certainly in this clip.
What I love about this clip is that EVERYBODY looks great. Everybody has great hair and great clothes. Nobody is letting the side down.
Also, give it up to Halifax for having a venue called The Plebeians.

I realise I'm Old Man Shouts At Cloud here, but I can't get along with 'assists' being listed under the scorers on the BBC. Yes, OBVIOUSLY somebody passed to them (unless it was a mad solo effort). That's a footballer's JOB. And someone probably passed to them. Where does it end?
Goals, substitutions, and yellow and red cards. That should be it, at the top of match reports. Anything else, you should have to WATCH the bloody thing. (Or read about it, at least.)
1-0 Neal (pen), 44
And don't even start me on Expected Goals.
It's like a bloke in the pub talking about Expected Shags. Completely meaningless.
Tried to download the @NHSCOVID19app on my phone, an iPhone 6. Won't work. "This application requires iOS 13.5 or later." So, only people with phones less than three years old can use it. This is what the Tories call a "world-beating" system. Well done, @MattHancock, you genius.
What the Reply Guys dimwittedly fail (or pigheadedly refuse) to understand is that the NHS app isn't a luxury, like a new game or something, that people should just pay extra for if they want it. I don't 'want' it. It's something you SHOULD download and install out of civic duty.
Several people think I must own an iPhone 11, because I made an Exorcist joke in May (after watching someone else setting up THEIR iPhone 11).
So here's my actual phone. An iPhone 6. Showing today's news, on top of a letter postmarked last week.
Annoying that the proper version of "Ansaphone" by Pulp isn't on Spotify, by the way. Only a demo.
Hey everyone, thanks for your many great suggestions for my Telephone Songs playlist. It's almost doubled in length with your help. I think I'm done now, though.
None of this generation of Bulgarians is at a big club outside Bulgaria, which is unusual. There's no Stoichkov or Berbatov. Hard to know what to make of that. It should mean they're weak. And we are ranked 26 places higher. But they might have surprises lurking. #WALBUL#CYMBUL
'DIOLCH TO ALL KEY WORKERS' - massive banner in the stands. Why switch languages after the first word? Bit weird. #WALBUL#CYMBUL
Reminder that Ian Brown has always been a complete bell-end.
The mystique surrounding The Stone Roses was always bollocks. The most overrated band of all time. Herman's Hermits who have heard a couple of funk records.
Daniel James was well Scrappy Doo when the handbags kicked off just then. "Puddemup! Let me at 'em!" but stepping aside for the Bigger Boys to sort it out.
