Here's a list by DJ Rod Searling, a top figure in the UK northern soul scene.
1 The Salvadors: Stick By Me Baby US, Wiseworld (1967)
2 Chubby Checker: You Just Don’t Know (What You Do To Me Girl) UK/US, Cameo Parkway (1965)
3 Linda Jones: I Just Can’t Live My Life (Without You Babe) US, Warner Seven Arts 45 (1968)
4 Gloria Jones: Tainted Love US, Champion 45 (1965)
5 Yvonne Baker: You Didn’t Say A Word US, Parkway 45 (1967)
6 The Vel Vets: Got To Find Me Somebody US, 20th Century 45 (1966)
7 Marvin Gaye: Love Starved Heart (It’s Killing Me) US, Tamla 45 (1966 )
8 Tony Clarke: Landslide US, Chess 45 (1966)
9 The Charades: The Key To My Happiness US, MGM 45 (1968)
10 The Dells: Run For Cover US, Cadet 45 (1968)

If you get a chance, I highly recommend reading the book Young Soul Rebels by Stuart Cosgrove. It gave me a whole new perspective on a musical movement the US isn't even aware of.

I'm sure there are hundreds of radio DJs who have published a top 10 genre list somewhere. Not eligible.
