Drewtg Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just seen this. Apologies if it's on somewhere else. It would be nice if we could all get behind this d'ya think? https://www.change.org/p/sheffield-city-council-by-soul-blues-music-lovers-worldwide-public-recognition-for-dave-godin-the-father-of-northern-soul?recruiter=181916821&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-share_petition-reason_msg Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Timemarcheson Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Dave was a great human being, championing equality and diversity on all fronts as well as being a great writer and top soul gentleman. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wicked Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I remember the first DG column I read, when he ended with the 'do what's right, not what's white'. Always the first page I turned to when I got my Blues and Soul. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest son of stan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I don't want to be a pain or deny his influence or underestimate his importance but from what I know, that write up seems a bit off to me. He coined the term 'northern soul' but 'father of northern soul'?? Certainly one of the first to document it but didn't really establish it did he? If anyone, that would have been Roger Eagle maybe..? Am all for Dave getting recognition but not rewriting history... Soz! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
