Northern Soul - Some Tips Please


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

I am doing a gig tomorrow and have been asked for a bit of Northern Soul

- Not my best genre at all.

 

If you were to play 2 or 3 classic Northern soul tracks - What would you play?

 

Please!!!!

 

Cheers

Steve

That's a really good list from Rob.

 

I'd start with Edwin Starr - Stop Her On Sight, and then Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor. If they work any of the others on that list will probably be fine - if they don't, go for some early Motown - maybe Tears Of A Clown.

 

Good luck - it'll be fine.

Loving the northern soul suggestions too.. I've got a retirement party booked next year where they were into Motown (I'm loving Motown these days) and Northern Soul...
