One of mine too. I’m lucky enough to live in Blackpool where Northern Soul is very much the life and soul.

There's a brilliant TV film called Coast To Coast with Lenny Henry playing a Northern Soul/Motown DJ that's worth watching if you can find it anywhere

Particular to Manchester? Am sure those that went to the Wigan Casino back in the day would disagree (not to mention all the other Northern Soul clubs across the country!!)

You should look up a film called Northern Soul with Lisa Stansfield (acting not singing) excellent music and really captures the era

P.S. If anyone ever wants a Northern Soul DJ playing OVO for an event, then just give me a shout. Willing to travel all over the country, as I do anyway for NS events and to DJ from time to time.

I watched a BBC4 documentary on Elvis this evening where I learned that he modeled his vocal style on this guy. Fantastic record!

Oh I most certainly do! I used to go up to Stockport Town Hall with a lady friend (I lived in Suffolk). went to other gigs but that was mega ...

My all time favourite was the original version of 'Shake!' by Sam Cooke (who wrote it). A shade slower than Redding's version but better for it.
