Ok, Northern Soul is an off-genre of Ska and Mod music. It was a craze in England in the 1960's, when ska and soul music started to split into new genres. Northern Soul sounds a lot like Motown music, but with a bit more upbeat music. This fad made it to America in the 1960's also. Now this is gonna sound really weird....but Hardcore dancing ( you know, kicks, flips, punches, etc etc) actually took MOST of their dance moves from Northern Soul. Ok ok, Northern Soul isn't angry music like Hardcore, and the people weren't beating the s**t out of each other. But Northern Soul had a lot of flips, spins, turns, kicks, etc etc.
The Northen Soul fashion was truely a mix between Ska and Mod. Guys normally wore Bowling Shirts/button down shirts/polos and Blazers with LOTS of buttons and patches on them. They wore Trousers or Levis jeans, and dress shoes or boots.
I've been really getting into Northen Soul lately, cause it's a good break from ska and reggae. It has a good beat, great lyrics, and obviously, a lot of soul in the music.
If anybody would like to hear a couple of Northern Soul songs, feel free to email me at catch22hardcorefan@yahoo.com (don't ask, it's a reallly REALLY old email adress =P )
Here is a really small list of Northen Soul artists: Maxine Nightingale Chuck Jackson Charles Lamonte and The Extremes The Millionares Mr. Soul The Rockmasters
