    Soul music like everything evolves other wise we would still be listening to Baroque and madrigals . The music of black america from the slave ships to hip hop has always reflected the black experience ,it might not be to your taste nowadays but soul music is very much alive .

    Some people in my experience think that the rare or NS scene is the Snake or Frank Wilson and as such dont appreciate the depth of the scene , I would not like to think that some one like that would produce a film based on it . I compliment you on your freinds my friends dont understand me nor do fellow soulies

    People outside the scene dont get it sorry to sound negative but the film will be the usual contrived pap . The only decent representation of the scene and that includes documentarys is the Urban Expansions production of Once upon a time in Wigan imo .

    Back in the day when dinosaurs walked the earth and tinternet wasnt around venues used to stand or fall by word of mouth the only info you got otherwise was Frank Elsons collumn in Blues& Soul plus we were all a lot younger and enthusiastic. Now with the internet and forums we tend to dissect every little detail and if one person says something negative it puts lots of others off . As for oldies v modern good soul music is good soul music whatever era its from

    Motown production values were to such a high standard and the songwriting so good its almost impossible to say but I think just for sheer impact Uptight .

    Bought a single called Soul Food thought I had made a great discovery put it on the turntable it was a fucking recipie for chicken n rice

    Just a thought , would Motown still have been as successful if artists like the Four Tops , Temps, Marvin Gaye , Smokey Robinson , Supremes etc didnt exist ? and they had to rely on the talents of lesser known artists like Freddy Gorman , Bobby Taylor , The Originals , Brenda Holloway etc .

    This is getting a bit ageist I am a dinosaur I love oldies I dont mind dancing to lowest common denomiator N/S that I danced to thirty odd years ago It makes me happy The scene can move on all it wants I dont care , as for new blood coming onto the scene dont give a f*** if the scene dies with me or not No one has the right to dictate how the scene should be but the one thing we should do is enjoy it for what it is great music and great people rant over thank you
