I knew some of these songs in this pick were covers, but did not know much about a Northern Soul dance movement. Might have liked to go dancing at one of these clubs. Heck, I kinda feel like I want to see if there is a call for it in Texas. Would be kind of fun to set up dancing lessons and play these old songs. Well, these are not the originals, but rather the covers of some of these Northern Soul Hits. Although many of these songs were not originally hits and that was the point. Most everyone, by now has heard Soft Cell's version of the old Gloria Jones song, so I didn't include it. Instead you get the Scorpions. Tomorrow look out for the Northern Soul original versions of these songs. Most of these songs, I have multiple covers, but I am still working on other songs not here that I can use for a part two. So if you have suggestions, I'll take them.
