Had the below passed on via our contact us feature from Ben and Christian... We've recently released a podcast about the Northern Soul scene in the present day. We went to Night Owl in Stockport to speak to some of the people fully immersed in the scene and came out with some great interviews highlighting the raw passion of the community that still stands strong today, and we're really exited to share it with you! Floor Shakers To Cry For - A Northern Soul Story Northern Safari Podcast OCT 20 Northern soul has always thrived on the rare, the obscure and the undiscovered. We visited Stockport’s guild hall to hear from those who have dedicated their lives to the movement which emerged in dancehalls of northern England back in the 60s. We explore the history of iconic 70s and 80s venues such as Manchester’s Twisted Wheel and Wigan Casino where the original all-nighter was born. direct link to podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/5IKmekuZf8kwAmTg577Lc0 -

don't get the bobby g reference to me like many others he was just a mainstream pop singer having a go at a certain style that was popular at the time for whatever reasons. What was it with him, just the 2 or 3 tracks with a certain beat/style, 100s without? say not really a qualification that earns anyone the right to be tagged a 'soul' artist, be it blue eyed or what ever quite a few 'blue eyed' had and got and delivered the 'soul' but I'd say not him... imo

The quick moving Soul Source spotlight falls on 4 recent soul music releases from Kent Records. Quite a handful, the release words and sounds follow below... Peggy Gaines - When The Boy That You Love / Everybody Knows - CITY 062 Nashville singer Peggy Gaines had two singles on Ted Jarrett’s Ref-O-Ree label but the best track, the Bob Holmes-written and produced ‘When The Boy That You Love (Is Loving You)’, was only discovered in the mid-90s. Released on CD and a limited 100 Club Anniversary single, it became a guaranteed dancefloor filler and is still in demand, fetching over £100 for that first pressing. The plaintive ballad ‘Everybody Knows’ is making its vinyl debut and will appeal to both Southern and Deep Soul aficionados. Little Johnny Hamilton - Apartment #9 / Crying Like A Baby - DEEP SOUL 12 Little Johnnie Hamilton was a 60s Los Angeles soul singer whose records are all hard to find, despite their quality. The searing deep soul slowie ‘Apartment #9’ is a million miles from the funk of ‘The Git Down’, recorded at the same session and issued on the Watts Way label in 1967 as a two-part single. Hamilton wails away his pain on a sparse number abetted by some righteous girl backing singers. ‘Cry Like A Baby’, a release on the one-off Soul Shack label, is a more mainstream offering of much charm, complete with strings. Phillip Mitchell / Ray Godfrey - I'll See You In Hell First / Ain't Givin' Up - CITY 61 Phillip Mitchell only cut one single for Spring’s Event subsidiary in 1975 – despite the beautiful ballad ‘There’s Another In My Life’ being an R&B hit, he did not have a follow-up. However, there were three songs recorded at the Brad Shapiro-led Muscle Shoals session, and ‘I’ll See You In Hell First’ was the superb mid-tempo track that lay dormant until compiled on an Ace CD in 1990. It features Mitchell singing at his best on an inspired, self-penned song and is long-overdue a vinyl pressing as originally hoped for. Ray Godfrey had four 45s for the label, but like Mitchell he was best known as a songwriter, for Millie Jackson, Joe Simon and Act I in particular. He wrote under his real name of Raeford Gerald. He produced this song on both Joe Simon and Millie Jackson; his own reading has now been found on the multi-track tapes for the song’s recording session. It is a worthy addition to the Godfrey/Gerald catalogue. The Pretenders - Just Be Yourself / It's Everything About You That I Love - TOWN 172 The Pretenders were the Carnival label’s main act throughout the 70s and up to 1980. By 1977 producer Joe Evans was embracing the disco era and recorded them on the excellent Kenneth Ruffin song, ‘Just Be Yourself’. Its furious yet solid rhythm and catchy title-line has captivated soul dancers for many years, making the originals expensive and very hard to find now. The flip was their final release, an updated and disco-slanted version of Lee Williams & the Cymbals’ ballad. All above 45s available now via Ace Records website and all the usual soul suspects -
