Book Description

Publication Date: November 29, 2001

Northern Soul has been described as the longest running fad in the history of British music culture. What began as an underground 60s Mod scene in unlicensed, no-frills clubs in the north west of England became the youth craze of the mid-70s. Northern Soul has confounded its critics by surviving, and growing into an adult dance scene whose followers share a passion for the music of Black America unrivalled anywhere else in the world. Packed with memorabilia, behind-the-scenes facts, and interviews covering artists from the Motown days right up to current chart acts like Fatboy Slim, Too Darn Soulful is the definitive history of a dance scene that refuses to die.

This review is from: Too Darn Soulful (Paperback)

I never know that there was, and still is, such a vibrant Northern soul scene in England. This books explores the history, the tracks, the drugs and the people involved. I thought I knew a lot but turns out I am just a novice. interesting read
