Description:

Released on Magic Touch Records in 1968, “Broadway Freeze” is a blistering slice of Milwaukee funk that solidified Harvey Scales as one of the Midwest’s most electrifying soul frontmen. Co-written with Albert Vance, the track rides a gritty backbeat, blaring horns, and call-and-response vocals tailor-made for the dance floor.

The song’s hook — “Everybody do the Broadway Freeze!” — turned it into a regional dance craze and earned Scales the nickname “The Godfather of Milwaukee Soul.” The Seven Sounds provide tight, muscular backing, delivering a groove that rivals contemporaries on Stax and Atlantic in energy and precision.

“Broadway Freeze” would later become a Northern Soul favorite, prized for its raw drive and unfiltered party energy — a true underdog anthem from the golden age of funk-driven soul.
