Any Northern Soul Fans here?

[The Bloop]

Northern soul...
Strange but I'd never heard the term until a year or two ago. Recently made up or was it just not listening?
A bit like the 70's 'Glam Rock' genre, never heard it called that until the noughties.

Someone with greater knowledge may well correct me but the scene started in the North of England with people and record shops importing rare black soul music in the 60s. A club scene sprung up from that.
