Why can't Soul Source have a Hall of Fame?  So many artists that you all love and their families would cherish such an honor.  This could be done with recognition of a decorative record in a frame and sent to the artist and/or family for whatever recording you recognize.

 

You all know how this goes, yearly, by category, etc.  If you find this feasible, I would love to sit on the Board.  I have seen the reaction of folks who get recognized for their efforts in this business.  They might have one time wanted the fame and fortune, but now they are so gracious for the acknowledgement and the love.

What an absolutely marvellous idea, Lorraine! Brilliant - and I'm all for it! 

A number of Members have suggested that Soul Source could establish a Northern Soul Hall Of Fame which the site believes could be a great asset.  Not only would it give recognition to people who we, the fans, actually believe should be recognised but, if developed in a way that inductees have their own page(s), bios and whatever else is deemed worthy, could in fact create a place that could contain information about our heroes/heroines all in one location.

 

So to that end Mike has given us the go ahead to see if we can get it off the ground. Ms Lorraine Chandler, who first suggested the project and I will do the initial legwork but it's planned that Members of the site play a full part in it's development. It's envisaged that it would work in a similar fashion to the US based HOFs in that a Board with a cross spectrum interest would select inductees from a list of nominations in a series of categories. Therefore the first thing to do is to ask for volunteers for The Board. Please don't feel that you need to be an intense anorak or that you've not been around long, enough, don't collect 45s or are excluded for whatever reason. This will only be worthwhile if it's the result of a broad mix of fans.  If you're a Northern Soul fan, you're qualified.  

 

We're looking for an initial six volunteers and each Board member will share an equal responsibility. You can volunteer via this thread or via PM if you prefer. Looking forward to hearing from anyone that fancies pitching in. Lets see if this great idea is doable.
