...whilst soul from the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's might be good, rare, &/or danceable it ain't Northern Soul if it 'aint 60's.
So, forget your Voices of East Harlem, Carstairs, Charles Johnson, Lew Curton et al; good tunes no question but Northern Soul - no!

So... Soul/dance songs recorded in the 60s - including crossover & downbeat - and not discovered/unearthed/introduced until the 70s & 80s are NS? It's a shame a cultural distinction had to be made, I know at the time, I didn't mind the Londoners getting funky to 'pass the peas' by the J.Bs.
