Hi all.
I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope it's OK here - figured if there's one place where people would be able to help me out it's this forum.
Can you guys recommend a good book on Soul music as a whole, not just/necessarily Northern Soul but a brief history of, major players/artists/labels/events/milestones, the different 'sounds' (Philly, Detroit), etc. - I want to learn as much as I can. Interested mainly in '60s and a bit of the '70s.
I'm almost embarrased to ask, but I come from a rock/pop background - got bit by the Soul bug only recently and I'm loving every minute of the ride, but I'm missing some background. So if anyone could recommend one or two very good books on the subject, I'd appreciate it a lot.
Thanks!
