We Got Soul!

Pop music has always had shows like American Bandstand to sing its praises, but R&B music had to wait a while for its own major weekly showcase. Just the same, Soul Train proved to be well worth the wait when it hit the airwaves in the 1970s. This weekly extravaganza, which showed off the latest and greatest in soul music and dance moves, became a national sensation in the mid-1970s and became a pop culture juggernaut that broke new ground for African-American entertainment. - tv.com

And here's another great Soul Train Line video - Boogie Fever - from the 70's. ...cool moves and attitude.

Northern Soul

Two Minutes of Bliss: a Weblog about the Northern Soul movement in the UK.

Wow. Once Upon a Time In Wigan is a play/stage-show about the Northern Soul movement... and what it was like to be there in that time.. It is a shame they are not touring the USA... What a cool idea.

"Back In The Days" has been on our wishlist since it first came out. Now with the release of sequel: "A time Before Crack", we went searching for book #1 and it's already gone from the local bookstore and out of print on Amazon! (thank god for eBay) There is some awesome, fun and superstylish photographic reference here, for the early days of hip hop.
