The music of 1960s-70s black American soul singers combined with distinctive dance styles to create what became known as northern soul. The movement tapped into a yearning for individual expression in northern working-class teenagers, and exploded into a cultural phenomenon that influenced a generation of DJs, songwriters and designers for decades to come. Northern Soul, a new film by acclaimed photographer and director Elaine Constantine, brings to life the scene for a whole new generation of 16 to 24-year-olds as well as longstanding soul fans.\n\nThis is a vivid celebration of all things about the culture, featuring the formers unmistakeable photography; immersed in the energy of the teenage dancers. Alongside this will be archival photography and oral histories from real 1970s soul fans, histories of the clubs, and top ten features etc.\n\nThis vivid tie-in book has the double pull of being a unique souvenir for fans of the film, but also being an authentic document for followers of the northern soul scene, who have lived and breathed it their entire lives: its simply the most dynamic, vital book on the subject ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Virgin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495909908533,"sku":"ByrdShop_0753541912","price":318.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780753541913_36d117f6-471f-48e8-940f-a32d2e055dc5.jpg?v=1781339739","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/northern-soul-an-illustrated-history-8601300458946","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
