Not in any way an officianado of this music, its a part of the scene, sixties man myself, where as there was only one style of northern soul music, there are now many, and each to there own for me, it did take some getting used to in the late 70`s after richard did those amazing rare soul sixties sessions at the casino, uproar about sam, we just couldn`t see it happening, but it did! and hats off to those who took the flack and stuck to there guns,as i say not really my thing but its an intresting thread just for opinions
