No Northern Soul God Help Us

I think if there was no Northern soul I would have to listen to ................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02ViMh47F1E

 

A northern soul

Atlantic/Stax for obvious reasons.  Jackies Wilson and the Brunswick group of stuff, Sam Cooke, etc etc. 

[Mellorful]

No one mentioned Gospel.

There are some toe tapping tunes in gospel that make me want to dance; check out Bessie Griffin

 

 

If we take much of the music we all love back to its roots we probably end up with Gospel and Blues

I'd say the nearest alternative would be cross-over/70's Soul

[night nurse]

as some one who is in to all sorts of music and goes to see band regularly, and also goes to reading festival most years ,it would  be hard to pick one sort of music but the smiths would be top of my list

[Lucky One]

Musically I have no idea, one thing I am certain of is that my life would have been a lot poorer without this music, and everthing that goes with it.

[Stateside]

JAZZ

Me too! plus Blues.

Sorry to hear about Whistler.

We should meet up again

OK HERE WE GO IF FOR SOME REASON MOTOWN AND NORTHERN SOUL DIDNT EXCIST WHAT MUSIC WOULD YOU LISERN TO AND WHY  . I WILL START

    Tecno is probly the genre i would lisern to it got a  fast beat and i have herd some good stuff come out it over the years even got a favourt peice its Adagio for strings by samual barber there i done but never fear soul will live for ever

 

 

 

All the other soul, funk, jazz and reggae that I already listen to. Why?....because northern and Motown (i presume you mean 60's Motown) is not the be all and end all.
