Northern Soul

When I started Dj'ing in the 80's I loved the music of Soul II Soul and read that they were influenced by Northern Soul - but I had no idea what that was. Years later I learned the Northern Soul movement in England was actually a lot of the same music I grew up listening to on the radio when I was a wee lad in the American Midwest. When I hear some of these songs I'm about 5 years old again. These are great songs for hanging out on summer days. Enjoy. (Temporary download - grab it if you want to keep a copy.
