As I'm getting bored with much of today's music, I went looking for stuff that I'm too young to have enjoyed first time around. I'm really enjoying listening to Northern Soul; lots of great songs and voices.

Here are some of my favourites (click on the links to stream the songs in Windows Media Player):

Darrell Banks - Open The Door To Your Heart - [Listen]
The Contours - Just A Little Misunderstanding - [Listen]
Ann Sexton - You're Gonna Miss Me - [Listen]
Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) - [Listen]
Edwin Starr - 25 Miles - [Listen]

Was wondering if anyone had any Northern Soul songs they would recommend?

Not that familiar with it, but did you see Trevor Nelson's Soul Nation on Channel 4 last year?

My husband is a massive Northern Soul fan and I've got into it the last few years by listening to his stuff.

If you're new to the music, theres an excellent 2 cd compelation which was what he bought me to show me what I was missing.
Its in the car and I cant remember the name, but I'll post it for you later. Its worth buying.

Stuff like 'Ski-Ing In The Snow' and 'Sliced Tomatoes' are absolute classics.

Yes, classic tracks . I've just got my hands on an Ann Sexton album. I don't think she's very well known but her songs are quality. I defy anyone who likes soul music not to like songs like this:

Ann Sexton - Come Back Home
