This a classic that Motown let slip through their fingers.... Thet never released it as a single as they didn't think it was good enough.

'Clip My Wings' by The 4 Tops with Levi Stubbs in full flow. A genuine classic!

The Culture Show - 2013/2014 Northern Soul - Keep the Faith

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03bs488/The_Culture_Show_2013_2014_Northern_Soul_Keep_the_Faith/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... the_Faith/</a>



Northern Soul marked the birth of late-night dance culture in Britain. Paul Mason, economics journalist and once a regular at the famous 'all-nighters' at Wigan Casino, discovers the origin of this underground music scene and why it continues to inspire such devotion.

Many of the songs that eventually became Northern Soul classics were once rejected or unreleased. Recorded in the 1960s by African-American artists attempting to replicate the successful Motown sound, these discarded tracks would later be rediscovered and revered by white working-class dancers and music fans in the north of England.

Paul Mason tells the extraordinary story of Northern Soul and the dance culture that sprang up around it, influencing musicians, choreographers and filmmakers and growing into a global phenomenon

I watched this the other night. Always liked Paul Mason as a journo and was never a Northern Soul fan however I really enjoyed this program. It was one of those you chance upon and spend an enjoyable 30 minutes watching. What I did like was how Mason came out of his shell as things developed - he was clearly taken over by the music of his youth (again) and started dancing - nailed on for next Strictly - I assume the producers have rung his BBC mobile red hot since this aired to sign him up ha ha ha. I can recommend this on iplayer for anyone who has half an hour to while away.<br /><br />-- Sat Sep 28, 2013 8:26 am --<br /><br />

loving that
 
any of you guys listen to Banbury internet radio tues 7;30 -10;30. well worth a listen, some great guest dj`s like ted massey dave rimmer etc, and its funny too.
 
Start slowly with the brilliance of
Sam Dees. Lonely for you baby.
Betty Everett. Getting mighty crowded.
Spice things up a bit with
The Valentines. Breakaway.

Many greats like Wade Lemons, Roscoe Shelton, Eddie Wilson, Gwen Davies, Ann Sexton, Linda Jones a small but fabulous group that will forever be Northern greats.
