quote [ The Twisted Wheel, the sound was Motown, Stax, Atlantic and their imitators – American Soul music with an express train beat that found a spiritual home in England’s North and a name… ‘Northern Soul’. ]
Coming from a music nerd's book, cobbling these together digitally got a rejuvenation in the earlier internet days. Find more thoughts and some of my favourites in the extended.
Interestingly, the whole definition of sound is a UK one for US music, coming from a collector's background (same goes for Jamaican music and “nugget” psychedelic collectors, see some good examples in Retromania)
Also, looking though this again turned up some BBC documentation on the topic.

What I love about this list is that, especially the top of it, many artists I've heard of and have music from are noted, but the songs are ones I don't think I've ever heard (at least not in full). Basically, I have some listening to do.
Also, I love the whole Northern Soul thing, and I've been a bit fascinated with the phenomenon since I first heard of it. It's amazing what good music can do, and how it touches people, regardless of its origins. |
