Following on from an earlier post about the Northern Soul music and dance scene, principally at the Wigan Casino and Manchester's Twisted Wheel club, may I list for your enjoyment links to several personal favourite records. In modern parlance, all killer and no filler tracks.
I find this style of music uplifting and hope you also come to enjoy music typical of the Northern Soul musical genre, slowly becoming a world-wide interest 50+ years after its beginning.
Before listening have a look at an introduction to Northern Soul.
Enjoy!
