this collection of 20 original northern soul classics provides the listener with an overview of black american soul music which swept across england in the late 1960s. emerging from the british mod scene in northern england, the style focusses on the heavy beat and fast tempo of the tamla motown sound of the time. this albums brings you the orignal motown legends of diana ross and the supremes and the impressions to lesser-known artists made famous by the genre including gloria jones and frank wilson. 40 years and it's still spinning, pulling in new and old fans alike, whilst its influence on current artists including paul weller, amy winehouse and duffy is clear. northern soul, as the saying goes, just keeps on burning! sleevenotes by biographer paolo hewitt, author of leading books on oasis, the jam, small faces and more).
