Guest Modern Skip Tone Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I think that the open mindedness from such DJ's as Ian Levine, Colin Curtis, Richard Searling, Sam, Arthur, Poke etc who introduced a more 'Modern' style of music to the 'Northern scene' (because up until then it hadn't been available) did more good than harm at the end of the day and helped introduce more people still to the scene and to Soul music per se. Sean Fully agree with you on the above, Sean with the emphasis on "more good than harm". And your spot on with the introduction of a "newer style", that was not available at that time.
SteveM Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Ahh, thank's for your concern Nick, at the moment my big toe is tapping to a deep soul tune. , circa 1968. quote: oxford dictionary, Soul: a kind of music using elements of gospel and rhythm and blues . You've taken the 1964 tune off the turntable then ?
SteveM Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I knew it .... you fancy her I thought Duffy was a woman ?
Soulgrit Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) You've taken the 1964 tune off the turntable then ? well spotted mate, yeah need new glasses Edited June 19, 2008 by Soulgrit

Sean And drive an equal amount of people off the scene. And it's not openmindedness, it's selfishness, it's forcing their own agenda on people who don't want to know about it. Either listen to our music or go somewhere else.

Agree with ya Pete if that's what they wanna listen to, then they should go to a specific venue, that will cater for them. Such as a two roomed event, with a modern room and a northern room JB xxxKTFxxx
Pete S Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 They forced the stuff you liked onto you as well Pete You're being silly now. Nobody forced me to like 60's northern soul. You'd have to torture me to enjoy modern soul though.

Why do you think people are forcing you to listen to it, driving people off the scene......we do listen to your music. But do you own this music, is it yours!!!!!! This is a soul forum. I for one, was reared on Northern and always will be greatfully for my soul roots. Pete, I have been somewhere else EMS and found that the only good folk on there are also on here A handfull of true soul folks. Who do seriously appreciate the whole 60's to current day release's. I have been red carded from EMS but leave you and many other with this statement: "My arse shows no blisters from the EMS slide. I am here to enjoy a more soulfull ride." @ Swiftnick.

And it's not openmindedness, it's selfishness, it's forcing their own agenda on people who don't want to know about it. Either listen to our music or go somewhere else. Ah! but it's 'our music' too Pete. That is if it's Soul music we're talking about here. If, on the other hand, you're talking about that which masquerades in some quarters as 'Soul' then I think you'll find that Soul fans often do go elsewhere. Then again, most Soul nights (even the 'Northern' variety) have long since stopped playing the really embarrassing stuff that was deemed acceptable 30 odd years ago. I suppose it all hinges on whether one believes that the appreciation of Soul Music should be one of continuous revelation... or that it's to remain as a single tablet of stone based on the mid 70's chapter of the last four or five decades. If it's only that period which pleases you then good luck to you (as I said earlier). Sean

(if that makes sense) Jayne.x.
Ian Dewhirst Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 My recollection, and indeed others on here is that it wasn't called "modern soul" in 75/76 (although Ian Dewhirst disagrees , but he's wrong ). No I'm not LOL. Modern was used to describe the newer releases from the early 70's by most sellers at the time i.e. guy pulls out a copy of Anderson Brothers/Marvin Holmes/The Temprees etc, etc and asks "what's this like mate" and seller says "it's a modern stormer". So there nyaaaaaah! Ian D
Bazza Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 Well I think the differance between a 60s tune and a 70's plus tune is obvious, the Raw warts an all sound of the 60s compared to the multi track, over produced, too smooth and perfect sound of the 70s, for me its the 60s sound, no contest Bazza
Simon M Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 You're being silly now. Nobody forced me to like 60's northern soul. You'd have to torture me to enjoy modern soul though. Some of that stuff Keb and Guy played was torture for me thankfully Butch took all the cherries

I love 60's Soul. The GOLDEN period. Just nothing like it (IMO). Doesn't stop me liking, loving, or appreciating the newer stuff too though. Didn't realise that you had to come down on the side of one thing or the other, to be a Soul fan. Sean

Guest Black Gold of the Sun Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Deffinition of a "Modern" Tune Now I of course realize that any thing made after 1972 at 11:59pm on the 31st of December, is a (spit) Modern tune, but for some reason some folks dissagree with me no idea why but I am right arnt I ???? Bazza Please dont let,s go round this bloody circle again .Calling stuff which is (IN SOME CASES) 30,odd years old modern is patently ridiculous.If you dont like 70,s and later soul music ,fine,just get on with it
Sean Hampsey Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I though you Northerners got ya tans at Margate and Bognor Yeh, and you lot get yours at Cleethorpes, Whitby & Brid! Any road up... ... what do we all think of this? Is it Northern? Is it Modern? Is it just a nice bit of uptempo Soul? Or what? Sean

Pete S Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Ditto Pete! No but seriously - it does get my back up a bit because it's being told I must like something or I can't like soul music. I do detest modern soul but it's easy to avoid hearing it. To the chap who said 30 year old records aren't modern soul, yes they are, it's a LABEL/DESCRIPTION for the style of music, not the age of the record. And also to reiterate, I love those early to mid 70's dancers like East Coast Connection, Norma Jenkins, Life, Gentlemen & Their Lady, Marvin Holmes, The Nights, Skullsnaps etc etc, love 'em. Just hate plinky plonky syndrum disco shite
Pauldonnelly Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Trying to wind you up Sean never had you down as an 'elitest' Peter During the late days of the Torch some new releases started to do the biz, First Choice--this is the house, Tower of Power ---This time its real, Denise Laselle--Do Me Right..and many many more... They started me on on a quest to discover soul, and although the first 18months at Wigan were without doubt the best I'll ever remember the blinkers that those who DID the casino dj rosta with regard to new releases (modern) was scandalous imo so much so that the dross come 1975 that was coming out of Station Rd forced me out of the GREAT venue to find solitude in my own all nighter THE WIRRINA Peterborough....60's Nothern in 1975 pushed me away from soul
