So I was under the assumption that ???northern soul??? comes from the north (ohio, Chicago, NY, etc). And I find out it???s not so much a geographical thing as opposed to a specific sound? Just wondering if someone could explain that a little bit. I know there???s a lotta deep vets on here scoffin now, but.., well, how you gonna know, ???less you ask.

= played in clubs in northern england
like "deep groove", a nonsensical english term, "discovering" a music that was already there,,,
Check the Keb interview that's around the web.

yup, like i said. scoffin. everyone starts. you could also ask the question of can you ban pointless responses?
actual responses trully apprechiated!
welcome to soulsnob.com. We only have multiple 6 page threads of bullshit. God forbit someone asks an honest question not about race, thongs, or southern hip hop.
Here you go.

Drink and 40, get laid and then call Miss Shingaling and ask her to explain the "Northern Soul" genre.
Not a great salesman.

I'm trying to buy his collection, but he's a bit stingy. He's been auctioning off his memorabilia for mad dough from his days as the sound manager for the Byrds, Mahavishnu, Fleetwood Mac and Steely Dan. Funny British guy with serious mutton chops

you couldn't google this? seriously.....? you had to ask here? while we're at it, whats New Jack Swing? Big Band? and best of all Fusion???
Not trying to be a dick but there's tons of info on this... Just do yo' homework son...
Perhaps it was a question that coulda been self-researched, no one would really argue that point. But perhaps also people feel like they have joined a "community" and wanted to take advantage of that fact and get real, fleshed-out descriptions from people who might be even more expert on the topic than the cat who wrote the wikipedia description.
It takes a special type of ag individual to a) get upset that someone would "dare" to post such a basic question and b) type a cynical response to the question asker. Just seems like unnecesary negative energy. "Man, that lil' dude is so lil' dude, I sure showed him."

If people can't ask about music in this forum, what should they ask?

Northern Soul is not just an ebay term. Hell, I'd heard the term before ebay even existed and I was a no-nothing living in a po-dunk town in upstate New York. I'm not sure when the term "northern soul" was coined exactly but certainly decades ago.
In that order?
True... it didn't start as an eBay term, I was just commenting on what it's become. Not sure when it started, but I think it was more of a scene thing than a record thing. Hence the true meaning of the term.

northern soul has nothing to do with ebay terms.. i swear some people.. they think nobody called a record northern soul, modern soul or italo until ebay stumbled along.. they've been calling that shit northern soul since the early 70's... dude may have been one of the original northern soul dj's but he musta been pretty out of it to have never heard the term.
from wiki "The phrase 'Northern Soul' was coined by journalist Dave Godin sometime around 1971 when writing his column in Blues and Soul magazine."
