Spyder Turner “Ride In My 225” (Fortune, 1964): Today’s YouTube Party Platter
NY Night Train just started uploading an original 45rpm vinyl record every day on YouTube – the NYNT Daily Party Platter Playlist Hit up NYNT YouTube channel every day to see what’s cookin’…
A couple years before Spyder Turner hit the big time with his virtuosic soulful rendition of “Stand By Me”, he dropped by Detroit’s iconic 3942 Third Avenue address aka Fortune Records aka Mecca to cut this supreme screaming raw bluesy soul rocker! Yet another Motor City ode to an automobile – thee sleek and sexy General Motors own Buick Electra 225 (check it out! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1964_Buick_Electra_225_sedan_rear_right.jpg)! This song was so hot that thirty years later my favorite soul singer Nathaniel Mayer did his own take for Norton Records in 2005! All-time stone cold Soul Clap classic! Take it for a spin!

You’re listening to my daily addition to the New York Night Train Party Platter playlist. Each track here is recorded directly from the original 45 (no bootlegs, reproductions, etc) to give you an idea of what the real deal authentic vinyl sounds like. COME BACK EVERY DAY FOR A NEW FIX! Because the records pass so quickly at my dance parties, this channel is an attempt to stop and focus on one record at a time in hopes that it’ll turn you on to the artists, tracks, labels, etc. I’m just hipping myself to a lot of these records for the first time as well – so you can view this as a part of our journey to learning more about cool old records together! But mostly I hope this music moves you as much as it moves me.
Get your enjoys,
