Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Is anyone else trying to imagine Bruce Springsteen in baggy trousers, sprinkling talc on the floor for his latest release?

It's a bit surreal isn't it? Ken Bruce has been flogging it to death.

Said it before: I like Springsteen, I like the song but I don't like his version of it. It just does not work!

As I might have mentioned before, it may be a Northern Soul classic but I've never liked it ...

I like Bruce’s version but it’s a strange record for him to make

Yes - I like Springsteen and it’s a good version.

but I’m also depressed by hearing this soul masterpiece used to advertise fast food deliveries 😢

What a belter Macca, top post - and yes, it's a first-timer here.

I'm pretty sure there was another version of this pushed out by someone, but as you'd expect The Platters version is by far the best.

While we're talking about The Platters, here's some NS trivia for you: As far as I'm aware they did the original of "Not My Girl" and of course, the Johnny Hampton version was the one that hit it big on the NS scene, it was massive. Have a listen to both versions and decide which is best .....
