    Default Northern Soul tunes

    Could someone send me the lyrics to the great early Northern Soul tunes ''Casanova'' by Robert Portee, ''My Greatest Thrill '' by Jo Ellyn, ''Once Again'' by Nate Nelson and ''Party Time'' by Sollie McEllroy. The videos of those tunes are on YouTube.
    Yesterday someone replied to my post by sending me a report about nazis of the Second World World. I was kinda surprised, since I didn't ask for that.They
    wanted to play a trick on me, I guess.In fact,the history about the Second World War is something which I'm interested in because I've read quite a few articles and seen several movies about that. But in this case I'm talking about another matter which is lyrics request. So please, next time don't send something that has nothing to do with what I'm requesting because other members or other people who are interested in replying to my post, will think that someone's given the right reply to my post and that is not necessary to give a reply again.
    I will appreciate very much if someone can write down those lyrics for me.

    Some lines are a bit hard to hear ...
    -------------------------------------
    MY GREATEST THRILL - Jo Ellyn
    ----------------------------------------
    I still remember his sweet kiss
    It filled my heart with such sweet bliss
    I know I can't forget him
    I know I never, never will because
    He, he gave me, I said
    He, he gave me , he gave me
    my greatest thrill

    I still remember, how he held me tight
    How he hugged and kissed me
    Each and every night
    I know I can't forget him,
    Lord knows, I never,never will because
    He, he gave me, I said
    He, he gave me, he gave me
    my, my, my, my,my,my, greatest thrill

    Ever since I turned him away,
    I haven't had a happy day
    It's been sad. sad
    Oh so sad

    Mostly likely, I'll never
    have a love of my own
    I'll spend the rest of my days
    Just being alone
    I know I'll never find him
    Lord knows, I never,never will find the boy
    Who gave me,
    my, my, my, my,my,my, greatest thrill
    Oh yeah -
    my, my, my, my,my,my, greatest thrill
    I can't believe it
    I know I'll never find him
    No, no

    CASANOVA Robt Portree
    ------------------------------
    I'm Casanova,
    A lover and a friend
    This is how my career began
    I kissed a girl in a candy store
    She cried out -
    'Won't you kiss me some more - Casanova?'
    -Please Casanova
    She called me Casanova - Casanova
    Casanova - a lover and a friend - oh yeah
    From then on, I was quick on my feet
    I started kissin' every girl I could meet
    I kissed a girl, her name was Mary Jane
    I nearly drove Mary Jane insane
    Casanova -please Casanova
    They call me Casanova - Casanova
    Casanova - a lover and a friend
    I'm needin' a lovin type (? I think that's right - not 100%)
    I don't need a wife,
    I'm livin' in a paradise
    Casanova
    They call me Casanova - Casanova
    A lover and a friend

    -------------------------------
    ONCE AGAIN - Nate Nelson
    -----------------------------
    Once again,
    A distant dream is mine
    Once again,
    What's most supreme in mind (? I think)
    Once before I tried romance
    and gave my heart
    Now I have a second chance,
    So be brave my heart
    Once again,
    They joys are unsurpassed
    Once again
    I wonder will it last
    For with an abounding love
    there does persist,
    A certain doubt surrounding love -
    Does it exist?
    To possess it, to embrace it
    And with eagerness to face it
    With a yearning and burning
    in my heart
    Once again --

    PARTY TIME Sollie Mc Ellroy
    --------------------------------------
    Everybody in my home town
    Everybody but me
    All the people from miles around
    Everybody but me
    You gave a party the other night
    Tell me baby, it was out of sight
    You gave a party hey, hey, hey
    Invited everybody but me
    I see true lovers strolling though the park
    everybody but me
    I see true lovers strolling though the park
    Holding hands and kissing in the dark
    everybody but me
    Is it true a new love's been found?
    Be a lady say - I put you down
    You gave a party hey, hey, hey
    Invited everybody but me
    Is it some ..... (?)
    Or is it that you're try to cut me loose?
    If you want me hangin' around
    Be a lady baby, you put me down
    Everybody in my home town
    Everybody but me
    All the people from miles around
    Everybody but me
    You gave a party the other night
    Tell me baby, it was out of sight
    You gave a party hey, hey, hay
    Invited everybody but me (3)
