interesting stuff, so soul music/motown, stax etc was pretty much listened to everywhere, what was the 'difference' that kick started full on northern? just the 'unknown' 'raririty' yet 'sounded similar'?

Another Billboard chart from March 1963- The R&B Singles, some interesting and surprising records included. This is due to them being bought in stores that provided data for the Billboard chart located in African American neighbourhoods.
