Welcome to another episode of Secret Soul ,the show where deep cuts finally get their moment in the light .Tonight were taking you on a journey through two cities that shaped the very heartbeat of American soul ...Detroit and Chicago ...records so rare they became Northern Soul Gold .
Tonight ,we celebrate six Northern Soul Legends who didn't just perform in the UK-they lived here ,they belonged here ,and helped shape the very Soul of our Scene :Edwin Starr, PP Arnold, Geno Washington,Jimmy James, Major Lance and Tommy Hunt .

Northern Soul has never been so popular ,people love the connection ...the uplift and that special sound of pure stomping soul.Tonight were back with a fresh selection of secret soul and a few surprises
Tonights episode is about Secret Soul-the rare grooves, the hidden voices ,and the stories that never fade .from basement labels to ballroom floors,these tracks still carry the heartbeat of real soul .
Tonights journey is through some of the finest ,rare soul gems from Chicago ,Philly,New York and New Orleans and not forgetting Miami
In Tonights episode were going rare, we'regoing exclusive-we're on a mission a mission to bring these long lost soul tracks back into the light some of these tunes shook the dance floors some slipped through the cracks......but all of them deserve to be heard again.
We starting with those Rare soul sides -the ones you had to hunt for ,save for and sometimes travel half a day just to hear once .Then we shift into something that only the scene truly understands .....The Northern Soul Instrumentals .Music built for the floor .music that speaks without ever saying a word
1981 Although the Wigan casino had closed ,and it felt like the lights went out on the scene ,in truth it was the beginning of something new.A time of rediscovery -of rare records,forgotton singers ,and a sound that refused to die .The casino might be gone ,but the faith never left us .because Northern Soul isn't just about a club ,or a record ,or even a dance floor -its about a feeling that lives deep inside .
Its Funny how things turn out- what started as a bit of practice for a Community Radio Show has turned into something I genuinely enjoy love doing every week I want to thank everyone who listens ,shares ,and supports the show
Tonights Journey is through rare groves and Northern Soul Gems from The Tan Geers to Otis Clay ,Peggy woods ,The Vontastics ,The Heartbreakers ,Alder Ray and Jimmy Soul Clark ....and much more
From the Streets of Detriot to the backrooms of Chicago, from the lost labels to the ones that shaped a generationTonight we have the Gene tones, the Bel aires ,Tina Roberts ,The four Pros ........ and includes my find of the month the Soulettes .
These are the tunes that didn't chart, the B Sides that almost dissapeared and the 45s that only true collectors and DJs knew - until now.That'the magic of northern soul, passion ,discovery ,and the joy of finding a record that speaks directly to your heart .
Classic Friday night at the Northern soul clubtonight we spin the tracks from Chicago vocal groups to hidden gems ,and these tracks may have been forgotten in America but in the uk they became immortal
