Northern Soul : Living For The Week End

an excellent BBC documentary

The northern soul phenomenon was 

the most exciting underground British
club movement of the 1970s. 

At its highpoint, thousands of disenchanted 
white working class youths across 

the north of England danced to obscure, mid-60s 

Motown-inspired sounds until the sun rose. A dynamic
culture of fashions, dance moves, vinyl obsession and 

much more grew up round this - all fuelled by the love

 of rare black American soul music with an express-train beat.
