[Box set]
Northern Soul originally consisted of obscure American soul 1960's recordings.
Most of the music failed in chart success at the time of it's release.
Northern Soul, spread the length and breadth of the U.K.
During the seventies almost every disco, dance or youth club, would be playing sixties Northern Soul music and I remember it well..albeit down in the South West of England.
The energetic dancing was legendary and one needed a LOT of stamina for a nights dancing.
What it was to be young!

Great lens. I was under the mistaken impression that Northern Soul was "Northern" because Detroit is in the north of the United States. Thanks for clearing that up for me. By the way, I've lensrolled this to my Funk Brothers lens.
