Northern Soul, Motown Style, refers to a music movement that originated in the Northern regions of England during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its fast tempo, heavy beat, and passionate vocals, heavily influenced by the Motown sound and other American soul music of that period. The genre is significant for its role in establishing rare and lesser-known soul records as dance floor hits in British clubs, hence contributing to the preservation and appreciation of these works. Notable artists within this genre include Frank Wilson, whose single "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" became a Northern Soul classic.
