Oh I thought it was about which artist had the most / greatest recordings played. If we are talking writing and producing then surely the Pied Piper Team are the real heroes.....

no this should be based on artists who have recorded and done most or great Northern soul tracks not work if you only recorded 1 or 2 but needs to be a good amount and there for

Jackie Wilson for Male and

Ruby Andrews for female

Ermmm......Let me see now :thumbup::lol:

EDWIN STARR!! :):hatsoff2:

According to Arthur Conley in " Sweet Soul Music " , it was James Brown .

" Spotlight on James Brown now , He's the king of them all , yeah , He's the king of them all , yeah , Oh yeah , oh yeah "

My vote goes to Sam Cooke .

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

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.

EDWIN STARR!! :thumbup::yes:

major lance, roy hamilton, marvin jones( jack montgomery)....LETS PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE....THEY HAVE A REPETOIRE OF SONGS THAT, FORTUNATELY DUE TO US HAVE BEEN TAGGED, IN THE MAIN WITH THE "NORTHERN SOUL MONIKER"....IT JUST SO HAPPENS CERTAIN TRACKS HAVE THE RIGHT APPEAL FOR THE DANCEFLOOR...and of course there's curtis, marvin and jackie wilson.

For me there is no other female singer who has that incredible and overwhelming ability to crash my senses in a manner akin to being hit with a drop forged steel 'Sumo Traditional' 24" wrecking bar…and that incredible and dynamic woman is Linda Jones.

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.

Blimey Tony. 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 :thumbup: 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. good.gif

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.

Funny coincidence - just 10 minutes ago I received the 2010 update for the Ace catalogue.

Some nice stuff as usual inc:

The Terry Callier Story - About Time - 1965-1982. (The first overview of the opening chapters of Terry Callier's musical career. One of the finest voices on his finest tracks)
