    Well summed up mate. the DJ's at the time looked for obscure singles and even covered labels up to hide what they were playing..

    Yes, certainly in the early days it was a really eclectic scene, with DJs trying to hunt down tracks no one else had.

    Later on Edwin Starr and a few others made more of a career out of the scene. I saw him a couple of times, including once at Whispers in Barnsley.

    One of the later northern soul tracks. Valli was signed to Motown at this time. Beggin' also released on the same stint at Motown.

    Suspect it's the legendary James Jameson on bass, but he isn't credited.

    Not Northern Soul, but I think this is a brilliant song by the Four Seasons:

    Given we lost this legend in recent days, an honourable mention.

    Always wondered where the name ‘Northern Soul’ came from.

    Then I saw a programme, years ago, about how 45s were sold from market stalls in London in the 60s/70s. Traders noticed that loads lads from the north would come down looking for the most obscure dance music from unknown artists. So the traders started calling that music ‘northern soul.’
