Motown Floorshakers – 40 Northern Soul Classics

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 619863) Motown/Spectrum (UK), Late 60s — Condition: New Copy

A great look at the sound of Motown in the 60s – a special set that brings together upbeat, hard-grooving soul tunes from the legendary label – of the sort that always play big on Northern Soul dancefloors! There's way more than just familiar hits here – as the collection does a nice job of going past the obvious classics treasured in the US, to uncover the great soul cuts that have been prized by British soul fans for the past few decades – the kind of Detroit grooves that have gone onto have a huge influence on overseas music for years. The set's got a few familiar numbers, but lots more lesser-known Motown cuts – and titles include "You Can't Stop A Man In Love" by Reuben Howell, "Lucky Lucky Me" by Marvin Gaye, "Tune Up" by Jr Walker & The All Stars, "Out To Get You" by Shorty Long, "For This I Thank You" by Gino Parks, "Love Trouble Heartache & Misery" by Hattie Littles, "I'm Gonna Make It Up To You" by Kim Weston, "Battened Ships" by Odyssey, "Nothing Left To Give" by Thelma Houston, "Til You Were Gone" by Frank Wilson, "One Way Out" by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" by The Supremes, and "Baby A Go Go" by Barbara McNair.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
