northern soul
the KFC ad has jogged my memory...i've always liked what I've heard of Northern Soul music and have often thought of investing in a compilation album as a taster of the scene. What are the quintessential tracks that no compilation should be without? Of the 3 or 4 I found on Amazon, only one had the KFC track and none had the only other 'famous' northern soul track i know which is the original of 'Tainted Love'. So come on swingers, help me out. What are the top tunes of the genre?
