no balls Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Who cares. It's a fabulous song, Pharrell is fabulous! As posted on the Brits thread, he used the Northern Soul dancers because of his admiration of their talent & the fact he wanted to show respect to the UK.

Waiting for our ozzy critic for his view, to be fair, the song is so catchy you cant help but like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted February 24, 2014 Members Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sat watching the Brits with my son and missus. Me and the lad agreed the only things worth a carrot through the entire show were this and the drum and bass mob (Rumiwotsit?) Like it. The man is a true musical talent and I am aware of his dabblings in other genres (didn't he faff about with some heavy metal at one time?) Don't mind it all - be interesting to see if it's out on vinyl and gets a play at any of the NS venues down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWanderer1958 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 They have just started a Northern Soul revival thing over here, even had Russ Winstanley come over. It was so successful they are looking at bringing him over once a month. Not for me I am afraid the music is bollocks and when I stuck my head into one of these revival nights it just looked like a saga holiday on blueys!!!

deane koontz Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm not taking the piss, but what exactly is northern soul, is it different to normal soul music? Just curious because the old people where i used to work went on about it quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, a quick google and hey presto. http://oldies.about.com/od/soulmotown/f/whatisnorthernsoul.htm Is this article accurate Bolty?

Sweep Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 You'll need much better bait son. At least you amused Bury boy. In all honesty Bolty, I would be surprised if the majority of those under the age of say 25 or 30 would have a clue what Northern Soul is/was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boby Brno Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 In all honesty Bolty, I would be surprised if the majority of those under the age of say 25 or 30 would have a clue what Northern Soul is/wasYou'd be surprised. A lot of younger people are now into the Northen Soul scene. Hearing their parents music and realising that its pretty damn good. The latest mid revival has also generated interest.

Burndens Bogs Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That looks like a fairly accurate summary Dazbob.During 60's America, a lot of young black artists were trying to emulate the Motown style,but only a small percentage of artists ever made it onto the Motown label.The rest ended up on small independent record labels and without the backing of a major label the records received very little radio airplay - so most sank without a trace,only to be rediscovered years later by club DJ's in the North of England.
