Northern Soul
Northern Soul, is a term used for dance records of the 1960's and 1970's made by mostly Black American singers trying to mimic the success of the Motown group of companies based in Detroit. Owing to the fact that these singers had families and jobs, the records were usually a one off recording with a few hundred being pressed and sent round the local Soul Radio stations, hoping for that magic break into the national charts. Usually these records bombed and were left on the shelves of warehouses and shops to gather dust or be sold in bargain packs.
Other clubs have carried the flag since and Northern Soul is still pulling in the crowds as clubs and promoters around the country have brought the phenomenon of Northern Soul back to prominence. The 20 year olds of the 70's have returned to their roots as 50 year olds in the 2000's, with younger people becoming fans of the strange music and dancing style.
