To me, Paul Anka "Can't Help Loving You" sums up Northern Soul perfectly .
Where else in the world would teenage kids dance to a record in the early hours of the morning sung by somebody called Johnny Caswell but it is in fact by a 50s & 60s pop singer called Paul Anka, who incidentally wrote the lyrics to "My Way", & then call it Northern Soul !!!!!! ?
Says it all to me.
Bloody good record BTW.
