Dunno much about Northern soul, l’ve heard the original Tainted Love and also this song about a snake (let me in oh pretty woman). It sounds good, and l can’t see that ever disappearing. I think Ska and Northern Soul are a bit selective though don’t have that large tribal quality, or do they, and why would l want it to appeal to massive crowds anyway, l dunno! I’m not sure why tonal musical instruments even have to be involved, maybe l’m just not being open-minded enough.
