NORTHERN SOUL
VA - Northern Soul, Do I Love You - Indeed I Do (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3
Northern Soul is a music and dance movement that emerged in Northern England and the English Midlands in the late 1960s from the British mod scene, based on a particular style of black American soul music, especially from the mid-1960s, with a heavy beat and fast tempo (100 bpm and above). The northern soul movement generally eschews Motown or Motown-influenced music that has had significant mainstream commercial success. The recordings most prized by enthusiasts of the genre are usually by lesser-known artists, released only in limited numbers, often by small regional American labels such as Ric-Tic and AMG Records (Cincinnati), Golden World Records (Detroit), Mirwood (Los Angeles) and Shout and Okeh (New York/Chicago). Northern soul is associated with particular dance styles and fashions that grew out of the underground rhythm and soul scene of the late 1960s at venues such as the Twisted Wheel in Manchester. This scene and the associated dances and fashions quickly spread to other UK dancehalls and nightclubs like the Chateau Impney (Droitwich), Catacombs (Wolverhampton), the Highland Rooms at Blackpool Mecca, Golden Torch (Stoke-on-Trent) and Wigan Casino.
As the favoured beat became more uptempo and frantic in the early 1970s, northern soul dancing became more athletic, somewhat resembling the later dance styles of disco and break dancing. Featuring spins, flips, karate kicks and backdrops, club dancing styles were often inspired by the stage performances of touring American soul acts such as Little Anthony and the Imperials and Jackie Wilson. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, popular northern soul records generally dated from the mid-1960s. This meant that the movement was sustained (and "new" recordings added to playlists) by prominent DJs discovering rare and previously overlooked records. Later on, certain clubs and DJs began to move away from the 1960s Motown sound and began to play newer releases with a more contemporary sound. (Wikipedia)

ReplyDeleteHi Jack,
DeleteHope this compilation lifts everyone's spirits.
Cheers.
A great choice of prime "Oldies" BB (even though some die hards will turn their nose at some of the classic cross-overs which in turn have become oldies lol). Only one track I wished you'd chosen the vocal of ..... The Del-Satins b/w Checkerboard Squares (thank you Simon Soussan) - and that's not a hint BB, just a matter of choice :) These tracks were made to keep you up all night dancin'. KTF :)
ReplyDeleteHi puw,
DeleteThis northern soul music is everywhere these days but I hope I have generated a set of comps that are enjoyable to the listeners. These are classic tracks. So many more could have been included. Maybe a volume two and three is in the works.
Cheers.
