The Northern Soul scene is the famous underground soul dance music scene that became popular in the north west of England in the late 60s and early 70s. The scene thrived on the discovery of rare American soul singles with a dance beat that was heavily influenced by the Motown label's trademark sound. Many of the more obscure least successful Motown acts became popular on the scene.

UK black music collectors have revered the output of the Modern and Kent labels from Los Angeles since the early days of B. B. King, Ike & Tina Turner, and the Ikettes. Much of the soul was crossed with R&B - witness the likes of Z. Z. Hill, Vernon Garrett and Johnny Copeland. Garrett's 'Shine It On' has become much in-demand in recent years along with Z. Z. Hill's cover of 'Make Me Yours' which was a UK-only 45 in the 60s. Larry Davis' name was largely unknown until his 'I've Been Hurt So Many Times' got Northern Soul plays in the 80s and onwards.
