Soulsides Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 ^^^Lol. I've never actually seen that advert before..I've not watched any telly for years ,even though theres at least three of em in our house. I thought it was pretty funny. I was more shocked that I was somehow redirected to a 'Why We Don't Hear About Susan Boyle Anymore' video after the advert was over for some strange reason ! Arrgh ! From Frank Wilson and possibly the rarest Soul record of all time to Susan F#!!!n Boyle !!! 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm not saying that I was the reason for the KFC Adverts reference Northern Soul, but a time before the adverts started I had a knock at my door in Wiltshire from a market research company. They asked if I would mind answering a few questions on fast food for a voucher to be sent on at a later date. I thought why not, the person had a laptop and showed me a few advertising videos, after each one they asked me what I thought and did I know the company. The first was for burger king as I noticed the logo, they asked would I buy more of their food, I said no chance!, the second was for Mcdonalds and I answered the same. The third was for KFC with Frank Wilson sound track, I said that it was brilliant and that I would buy more KFC certainly, they asked why and I said- top tune to hear whilst eating your food- we need more adverts like this!!! I chuckled as the market researcher left my house. When I saw the amount of KFC commercials involving soul music in the future, I was shocked- probably just a coincidence!! 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rick Cooper Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 B&Q have been using Sliced Tomatoes for ages but just seen their ad and then followed straight after by some sort of sauce using Richie Barrett I Will Love You. Crazy. A chocolate bar a while back used Mean Man by Betty Harris . Assume the ad people just type a few words into YT or such like and pick a track from the results. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winsford Soul Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 None of this has got nothing to do with advertising executives that are now in there 50,s wanting to get Northern soul , (their youth ) back in the spotlight. Has it ? I think so Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Yank Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I just saw the strangest commercial on American tv- it was for legalzoom. It said"this is Frank, this is Frank's record store. Sure - Frank knows his Northern Soul but how to set up a legal limited liability company - not so much". They don't show any Northern 45's, the record playing isn't "Northern" but I think this is the first time I ever heard the words Northern Soul used in an American ad. If anyone wants to see it- its on youtube. Type in legalzoom commerical, and pick "The Story Of Frank". Edited January 25, 2018 by the yank Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
