The New Sound Of Old Soul

interesting point in a snake eating itself sort of way from this brief interview with kings go forth

Andy Noble was no exception. While running a record store in Milwaukee that specialized in obscure soul music, he met a forgotten soul singer from the 1970s named Black Wolf. Soon they got to recording together, forming Kings Go Forth. Things took off quickly from there, with the band getting signed to Talking Heads frontman David Byrne's record label and touring nationally.

Why is old-fashioned soul music making such a comeback right now?

It's because of the Internet. There were all these disconnected scenes around soul music, like the Northern Soul scene in England. When the Internet came out, Americans found out about them. I think the energy appealed to kids in America who grew up with rock music. It also formed the template for modern hip-hop. It's funny that this music had to go all the way around the world to come back to us.

Funny to hear that quota about The Human League, when a lot of records being played out on the soul circuit did sound very new (fresh) at the time even (1980 ish) when Richard started the High Energy Soul thing. The League at this point in time was a very new sound. :D

I remember being boiled getting spun @ the Hac in the madchester days, and still sounding relevant, very influencial act in termsof dance music.
