| Reluctantly years ago, I had to finally accept the term Northern Soul after a friend bought me a T shirt with the fist emblem and NS written on the front. And of course the new film due to come out in October this year celebrates the music and dance phenomena is called 'Northern Soul the film'. They have gone to great lengths to get it right.....this video is one of there dance clubs where I believe they spent up to a year teaching the kids to dance, many of them not aware of the records or dancing techniques. Now, many of those kids have started their own NS clubs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffXmDruPQ38&list=UU-Lw42-fcdW-9GF4BPzc_RA But this dancing is a progression of a number of things from the 1960's/early 70's. Naturally to dance like this all night youth on your side helps immensely. I thought it was all over when I was 30!!! It isn't over....ever! Once bitten by the bug....it's for life. Here's another one of my co write/productions with famous Philly group 'Double Exposure' called 'Soul Recession':- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci9Z0tXWwDI and this released last week..UK soul singer Diane Shaw singing "Good lovin' man" (this not produced by me, but co written):- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUIqcwanpfI I am hoping to be dancing to that at the Skegness weekender in September if she performs it!
