Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Why Sam Cooke though he was and still is the best soul singer but his Northern soul ouput is limited to Sugar dumpling (always makes some people mad) and only other i can think of is Soothe me and Somebody Have Mercy we are not talking king and queen of soul music Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest andyrattigan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Terry Callier !!! With one good record and one half decent one ??? Are we talking quality or quantity ? or both ? As a strictly 'Northern' Soul artist I agree his output is limited but as a Soul and Jazz artist outside the blinkered confines of the 'Northern' tag the man is a musical master. My nomination for greatest male Soul artist who fits comfortably within the Northern genre is Jackie Wilson. Both his 6ts and 7ts output is beyond comparison.

Love Ms Jones, but for output and accessability I would have thought that Martha Reeves and Gladys Knight, would have to be near the top? With Gladys just shading it for me.

Martha Reeves (imo) is'nt even in the same league as Gladys Knight. at her best, MR is mediocre i've always thought, but GK is absolutely faultless, live or studio. anyway i'm off topic now, this is another debate IAN p.s. Female stalwarts of the Scene ?? ermmmm , for the number of tunes played, i'd say Linda jones too. who incidently is a remarkable singer i personally think.

With Gladys just shading it for me. Regards Tony Not wanting to play "devil's advocate" here but both Martha & Gladys both achieved fame & success on a global scale whereas my choice (Lorraine Chandler) only has her popularity exclusively on the Northern Soul scene. What Can I Do I Can't Hold On Tell Me Your Mine I Can't Change You Only Live Twice She Don't Want You Mend The Torn Pieces Of My Heart are all "exclusive" hits for the Northern scene & that is not forgetting her work with The O'Jays, Freddie Butler, The Hesitations, The Metro's, Sharon Scott & of course co-writing Eddie Parker's monster tunes "Love You Baby" & "I'm Gone" The lady truly sits proud on the "Northern Soul throne" IMHO.
