It cost us £80,000 to make, filming over 150 artists, half of whom are dead now. It took two years of 20 hour days to make. I was hoping that by my business associates putting it up online that some soul fans might grow to appreciate it and might want to own a beautiful box set.
+IanLevine Dear Mr Levine. Not having stood behind a set of decks for 35 years, I tend to "come back" to Northern Soul whenever I get nostalgic or am reminded about my mid teens/early twenties, by whatever the cause. A post on my FB page brought me here, and I can't express the jolt seeing this has given me. Like many others, I just wallowed in the music/atmosphere/feeling of belonging that Northern Soul gave at that time. To get "the inside story" that this feature unfolds is absolutely priceless. And it doesn't detract from what I felt then, and now, about the music. To some, knowing the "secrets" behind how it all came about might take the edge off it. I couldn't disagree more. It just enhances it as far as I'm concerned. There are probably many fans out there who would say "What? you didn't know any/all of this?" etc. But, as I said earlier, I just revelled in the music in those days. Thank you so much for this. And all those also involved in it's creation.
IanLevine What a wonderful film. This truly caters to people like me who love to learn by being exposed to some of the more obscure acts and recordings.
My G-d I am a person from a mixed race background born in the U.S. Virgin Islands to a White father and Black Caribbean mother. Of course my mother's family listened to soul music and my uncle's first wife's nephew was a Black musician Jon Lucien. My uncle was working as an electrical tradesman in Detroit on a sojourn and brought back records. However I have tended to ignore soul myself and wasn't in to it. I met and chatted Kerry Gordy at a HarvardU. music conference three years ago and chatted the event was under promoted. However I still did not get a soul hooked even with some exposure. But I just stumbled onto Northern Soul recently and the love of the music is infectious. Here I am in Boston, Massachusetts calling around trying to find Northern Soul events. If I hear a stranger with a British accent I ask if they have attended Northern Soul events. I have been sharing Northern Soul clips with venue owners hoping i can get an event going if no one has anything here yet. Thank you so much for making this clip Ian don't feel like your time was wasted and I hope you succeed. 🌺🎵🎶📻🕺💃🎶🎵❤️ Only 54 likes and 4 comments for your efforts what is wrong with people?
4+ hours of the greatest music ever written/performed...The Catacombs in Wolves and the Golden Torch in Stoke were my chosen venues...My God the memories are still bright of those nights with people who shared a love of these tunes and that culture...KTF.
Thank god you made this when you did, Ian. So many of the artists have passed away since then. It at least gave them chance to see how much their music was loved over in the UK and Europe. It's a brilliant body of work and I applaud your dedication to complete the production. I have the Box Set, of course, but it's good to see it available to all, particularly younger viewers, though they should note that these are largely not the original recordings for copyright reasons I guess.
I've been up that escalator many times when you where there Ian 👆 previously 2 years at the Wheel with the Warrington & Widnes crew!! Thanks for the memories
I am from South Carolina, USA and I have been listening to this music all my life, its what we call "Carolina Beach" or "Shag" music that you "Shag" dance to at Myrtle Beach, SC and all up and down the southern coast from Gerogia to Virginia. Thank you so much for this film, I feel like I'm getting the rest of the story.
With many thanks to Ian Levine for allowing this on TH-cam and for replying to my FB message, I do now own a glorious box set and I can watch and listen to my little heart's delight knowing that I have paid and hopefully everyone concerned in the making of this magnificent project is valued.
Hi Ian. Went to Wigan a few times but mainly stayed round the Midlands soul scene. Was at the opening night of Heaven. Spent every weekend there. My boss owned the leather shop. Still going to the occasional norther night
Brilliant ,depiction of The northern soul scene ,reminds me of the saturday nights at the golden torch,grow up in stoke on trent ,61 now live in canada
A true labour of love. I love Motown r&b and soul. I've been fascinated by northern soul since the age of 14 in 1975 when it was picked up by the mainstream media. I've collected the sounds ever since. The energy and passion shoehorned into 3 minutes on that vinyl groove is awesome. The sound quality is often terrible but somehow that energy compensates. When compared to many modern digital "by the numbers" recordings that are so processed and polished they have no soul and lack any passion the northern/motown/60s/70s recordings are untouchable. Such a great series, especially to see and hear many of these illusive anonymous artists being captured for posterity. Brilliant!
This is a must see! Definitely the best, most interesting and most comprehensive thing I've seen about the NS scene; an encyclopedia of stars here. Keep spinning those 45's everyone, and if you ever come to Whistler BC don't forgot to stop by our night!
Nice to see the north of England is good for something, we have done something nobody else has, i remember Wigan and Blackpool Mecca the Torch, Cleethorpes Pier, and all the other to many to mention , now I’m nearly72 and it is all i listen too, it still bloody brilliant .
This is fascinating. I belonged to the previous generation to Northern Soul, when Mick Lee was the DJ at Blackpool Mecca and most of the sounds were mainstream Stax, Atlantic, Motown. But we had heard of artists like Garnet Mimms, Bunny Sigler, Doris Troy, Bobby Hebb, etc. - in fact I'm sure I remember picking up a Garnet Mimms 45 at a shop in Blackpool known as "Smokey Joe's" (because the owner was an old guy who chain-smoked cigars). Smokey Joe sold a lot of ex-jukebox records, but occasionally you would find an obscure Jamaican disc if you were into Ska, or a soul 45 such as Roy Thompson's version of "Sookie Sookie" which I got on a white label with a big "A" on it. Trips to the Twisted Wheel in Manchester would be rounded off at the Top Twenty, which went non-stop from Friday night to Monday morning. I can remember seeing dance moves in 1968 which would become familiar as Northern Soul moves later. I left the area in 1968 and moved to London, where the dance hall scene was much more into Rocksteady and Reggae, and I became out of touch with the North. A pity...
A few more comments. Firstly, the tracks chosen for this were splendid. So often I have listened to Northern Soul playlists and been slightly disappointed; but this track list, although the majority were unfamiliar to me, really conveyed to a relative outsider like myself, the feel of the best dance tracks. I can hear the 1960s technology, the mono sound. I can imagine them coming over the same speakers at the Mecca as I heard the mainstream stuff coming from. In the past I have been scathing about NS, but I can see just how much these tracks meant to the people who hit the Mecca and the Wheel just after I left for the South. Secondly, it occurs to me - though some people may disagree with this - that in NS mod culture came full circle. There was much talk in this documentary about British released soul and Motown and the NS cognoscenti's preference for rare imports. I can recall when I started buying African-American music in the early 1960s, British labels were taking on Black artists under license from their American labels - Pye International R&B label had a lot of blues performers like Muddy Waters, Stateside had Motown artists like Stevie Wonder, and I particularly recall buying Booker T's 'Green Onions' (Stax) on London Atlantic. The UK labels started doing this because the music that was being played in the early mod clubs was on American 45s that people had bought from African-American GIs on US bases in Britain, and the British companies wanted to make money. So that's the full circle - imports, to domestic labels, and then back to imports. One last thing - I recognised Baz Browell as one of the blokes from the Blackpool mod scene in 1967/68. I knew him to say hi to. Many people must have simply been in the Mecca/Wheel scene as it changed seamlessly to NS.
Yes it brings it all back - I am in the vid at 07:23 in the background, red waistcoat. I can still do all the moves and love the sounds. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times (someone should use that line in a novel).
Hi Ian, I was too young when this was all first around, born mid seventies I went on to have been a part of the rave and dance culture but I always had and still have a preference for black music indeed principally I am a reggae man. A friend of mine who was part of the original scene used to mention the northern soil to me and I fell in love with it, it has become something of an obsession. The dancing would be out for me, no rhythm and I have a scholiosis but watching this is wonderful. Thank you for putting this together and hopefully I can convince a couple of my mates to accompany me to Prestatyn this year for their weekender. Thank you again I absolutely love it.
This is absolutely brilliant Ian. You have put so much into this, the artists, the interviews, and of course, the superb footage! It is like a night out with old friends. Thank you. Carol... Part of the Skipton Posse. x
Saturday late afternoon....most weekends 1967-69.....finished my saturday job...went home..got my overnight bag packed..3 changes of clothes...went in to Leeds...met my pals and we all took the train to Manchester!! i so looked forward to my weekend pilgrimage trips to the Wheel! Sunday mornings came so fast! would not have missed this window of time for all the tea in china! I met you Ian ....in Blackpool..& at the metro bistro in Wakefield...and you were there the night it was raided too...i recall! welcome to yorkshire!! . Now live in Los Angeles ( 40 years approx) and my cd player is still filled with soul sounds and maybe some that were your secret sounds!!
I don't know how these old wheelers are still looking good 45 years on, I still love the music after all these years and I get the 45's out once in a while but the dancing's not up to much but then it never was, at 61 the backdrops aren't great ha ha.
I was just a Preston kid Ian...Just working and dancing...we didnt give a crap about the cally......we had the best time..........no contracts,no lawyers.......just fun.Thanks for the tunes mater.
Fast Forward to 2024 Had the Pleasure of meeting Chris Lalor and his wife Christiana in Benidorm International soul Fiesta. A lovely couple. Fred and Jacque ward
Dear Ian. Thanks for this wild production. I've just found you on YT. Just wondering if you cam across a not so well known US group called Helios?. Female 60s group. I thing one of the singers was in Apolas that became another group. Maybe wrong... I had a recoding of Helios, But the title escapes me. I think they only did 1 song. It was a heartbreaker. Would l9ve to find it again. Thank you once more.
I've watched a few of these videos and it comes down to the drugs and the music , most people know that drugs fuel a good time they all say it in the interviews , I listen to all music and every culture has its drug of choice , like Thin Lizzy said "Having A Good Time Is A Rock-'n'-roll Life Style" 🤩 !
just like Justin glovers post ,my story very very similar with my music...passionate regards same genre's ,born "too late" is my thinking as I just LOVE the northern soul lifestyle and to be lucky enough to have lived it is a real privelage if u lucky enough to have been there 1st time!!.as a 2nd gen fan of this music ,I appreciate the tracks n lyrics to them as it makes me smile...the dance moves r just original but that "Wigan kick" is not gonna beat me . . if it kills me I will perfect it..😁
I think it’s worth pointing out that with the invention of the 8 track player in cars in the mid 60’s. Berry Gordy realised that there would be a need for fast up tempo driving music. A big factor in Motowns success.
Great to see legendary Funk DJ Chris Hill on this film. This is how much he loves Northern Soul. At the Reading All dayer in 1977 he invaded the dance floor with his funk/punk dancers. He pushed off whatever DJ was on and put on some dire electronic funk sound. He announced to all us SOUL fans that his crowd needed a bigger dance floor than the one they had up stairs! A real soul fan>
Glad Rob B’ got a mention I met him at the sink many years ago he came with a few friends , what many people don’t realise there was other clubs kinda underground because they was open without license so not advertised, remember him saying we used to flit from the wheel and the sink , also they was all smashed lol 😂
oliverwright19 I'm not sure I can't really hear it because my mate Kegsy is talking. I've actually got the full 6 DVD set about somewhere I think (unless one of my mates still has it) so if I remember I'll have a rummage for it because it tells you all the songs that are played.
Just watched this again forthe fourth time it gives me so much to live for now in isolation in Brazil becaise of the coranovirus up here high in the mountaians and watching the news from Enlgand which is so sad . but sitting in my loungue I have no worries .I am 66 years old retired and dont have finacial worries so what do I get pleasure about its music my attended the wheel from 1969 till it closed went to blackpool mecca and the torch the catacombs inwolverhampton and i was at the metro bistro in wakefield when it got raided but all that is behind me but I still love the music till the day I die I will still live with the music from my youth. Keep safe people
Love the interviews and insights into the history as its always appreciated but lawdamercy are these remakes with modern club beats and cheesy production just atrocious. Actually kept me from making it all the way through. Why oh why?! lol

Hi guys. Would be grateful if some1 could tell me the name of the track and artiste at 1hr 59mins. KTF
Brilliant ground breaking documentary, but why oh why is the backing music almost drowning out the artists talking.?? Poor editing that..
Glad Rob B’ got a mention I met him at the sink many years ago he came with a few friends , what many people don’t realise there was other clubs kinda underground because they was open without license so not advertised, remember him saying we used to flit from the wheel and the sink , also they was all smashed lol 😂

Scotland!Yay!
Nags head Motown club 1970s Northants Big Bob soul man
This northern soul sounds like the Chicago soul of the 1960's.
WTF is Pete Waterman doing in this documentary?!?
Very interesting, although all the modern songs sound disgusting. Horrible 80's tacky production.
Joanne still looking good|
If it was not for mr Levine we would not have this fantastic music thank you Ian Lancaster soul club
Just watched this again forthe fourth time it gives me so much to live for now in isolation in Brazil becaise of the coranovirus up here high in the mountaians and watching the news from Enlgand which is so sad . but sitting in my loungue
I have no worries .I am 66 years old retired and dont have finacial worries so what do I get pleasure about its music my attended the wheel from 1969 till it closed went to blackpool mecca and the torch the catacombs inwolverhampton and i was at the metro bistro in wakefield when it got raided but all that is behind me but I still love the music till the day I die I will still live with the music from my youth. Keep safe people
Why all the acoustic drum beats kills good music dead
hi ian - i posted pics of the northern soul pewter keyrings on my u tube channel - limited edition - worth a look -- ktf ian
Not just about guys 😮
Love the interviews and insights into the history as its always appreciated but lawdamercy are these remakes with modern club beats and cheesy production just atrocious. Actually kept me from making it all the way through. Why oh why?! lol
It's been made for people who don't know the difference
Overdubbed strings and drum samples to pass these off as "original" re-recordings. Is anyone seriously fooled by this? C'mon!
the fidels try a little harder 9.41
Always 22ct Hawk z, *""""""""""
Need nzzxxxxxx
Why oh why would you remix these classics with cheezy/crappy 80s sounds??
They've really killed six x six, thank god I've got the original.
Agreed, although given Ian Levine's pedigree it's perhaps not surprising. Once you've made Hi-NRG there's no going back to acoustic kits!
Yeah, it's unlistenable. I'm just skipping past the music bits, they're absolute cringe.
