I am a life-long American fan of Soul/Motown music and I've had never heard any of these gems until two days ago. How did all of these songs become iconic in the UK without making a blip on the radar in the U.S.? Also, I had no idea so many labels in the U.S. other than Motown, Stax, and Atlantic released this genre of music.

Ah well, you lot were listening to the Rolling Stones, Beatles etc, we went over there and knicked all your records as you lot didn't want them :-). RnB had a massive following in the UK in the 60's when Motown, Atlantic, Stax releases started to dry up enterprising British collectors went over on record collecting trips and found other labels from 'soul' neighborhoods in other US cities - hence a tradition developed through the 70's and 80's for more and more people to go over, more and more connections made. This continually fuelled the rare soul scene in the UK and Europe. That's the simple version, of course the full story is far more detailed and complicated :-)

"The Snake" by Al Wilson was a Top 20 hit & a Top 15 hit in Canada thanks to airplay on Detroit radio stations CKLW & WKNR. Frank Wilson's record was promptly rejected by Berry Gordy. He didn't have faith that it would be a hit, believe it or not, and persuaded Frank Wilson to continue his songwriting career. Supposedly at least 200 discs were originally pressed by Motown, then melted down into other Motown discs by Berry Gordy's orders. Only four copies were saved, and put away into a Motown company desk for a couple of decades until they were rediscovered in the mid-1990's. A shame, really, Frank Wilson could have been another Marvin Gaye if Berry had more confidence in the song. The other records on this list were either minor hits on Billboard's R&B Hot 100 or missed the US charts completely.

Frank Wilson only ever released one single. However, 1965's 'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)' became a cult Northern Soul track. Only 250 copies of the 7" vinyl record were pressed and most of them were destroyed when Wilson decided he wanted to focus on writing and producing. Only two or three copies of the single survived. One was sold in 2009 for a massive £25,000, making it the most expensive record ever sold at auction. Wilson began working for Motown Records in Los Angles, but transferred to their Detroit office in the mid-1960s. He co-wrote The Supremes' 'Love Child' and 'Stoned Love' as well as 'All I Need' by The Temptations and Marvin Gaye's 'Chained'.as well as a host of other songs. Born: December 5, 1940, Houston, Texas, United States Wilson died on September 27, 2012 after a long battle with prostate cancer. So much for these being covers.

Mike, Back in 67 with a cart of 45's, amps, speakers and turntables we didn't need to be told to "Keep the Faith" , we lived the music sometimes 4 times a week 7 till 2, and all night long, along with the poor punters who sweated their lives away in the grim jobs in the West Yorkshire and Lancashire towns. Ye we remember the Music , the gigs and always the punters, who knew what they liked, and how to dance to it. I kept all my 45's in their original beer stained sleeves and like all my brothers remember the days when Northern Soul was More than a T sShirt and a handed off phrase. Its great to see that there are some who still remember the real thing cranked out at 110db in a hall full of appreciative people. My later years with Mecca told me how pathetic the club scene had become. Thanks to everyone for the memories. Aka Steve Vann

Ex-Pat American living in Ireland for 9 years now. Saw a documentary on BBC about this Northern Soul scene. UNREAL! I had absolutely NO idea this scene existed. My mom is from Cincinnati, and i grew up in lilly-white Salt Lake City. Mom was always listening to Motown, while most of my friends parents were listening to West Coast USA music (Beach Boys, The Doors, etc.) I absolutely love that all these kids up in northern England were discovering soul that the Americans were more or less overlooking. Fair play! Such a movement, and thank you @barvas42 for posting, and for all the guys and girls in Wigan, Newcastle, Manchester, Blackpool for dancing like no one cares!

Mike Hoyes Honestly, vinyl just sounds better in regards to oldies...Fuller, richer, the way music was meant to sound back then, especially with old soul music. Example: A year ago, I found a remastered "Walk In The Night" by Jr Walker & The All-stars. A few seconds into it, I had to stop and "dirty it up" (what I call it when an oldie sounds too clean and "thin" and needs its fullness back). Basically, some old songs, like some houses, just "feel" better when they have a fuller sense of life to them....if that makes sense.

+hardakml I'm 59 and American and have never heard any of these tunes! I like R&B and old fashioned soul - but not as much as Brits in the North, I guess. I recently watched the movie "Northern Soul," and was surprised to discover that while I knew some of the artists, I knew none of the songs! This is seriously good stuff... (This is sort of the reverse of the common youtube "I'm only 15 and I love this music..." comment which has become a cliche...) I was astonished to hear "The Snake," a song that is new to me. Donald Trump is reciting a poem just like it during his presidential campaign!

Yvonne Baker a classic among classics - her voice captures the moody edgy energy of the song "You didnt say a word" so beautifully, and all those Bond theme analogies and comments are so apt.

... absolutely brilliant, totally agree with you . That was my favourite in this excellent top 10. Disco, Funk, Soul, House & Hip-Hop are my music of choice, but I didn't realise this stuff was Northern Soul . One or two I'd heard before, on adverts, but overall, this genre is so varied. I am now a bonafide fan . I'll research and listen to as much as I can . This was a great post, but your comment prompted me to reply . Excellent Music .

Garnett Mimms-Looking for You ! True Blues, you can feel his heartache, Garnett Mimms reminds me so much of Jackie Wilson, both great Soul singers who could sing the birds out of the trees. Check out (Because Of You-Jackie Wilson) brilliant. Epitome of Sound-You don't Love me, fantastic the off key backing singers are ace, Love the sentiment in this song, great dance floor filler...

Well said.....I have to say while lots of the tracks mentioned are great records there are literally hundreds that really are are way way better. If The Snake is in peoples top ten, fair dos, but check out the abundance of other stuff that’s been played for the last 50 + years. Think their top ten would change drastically !!

I like that Northern Soul exists its better than not existing at all but people can hardly claim some of these songs as being only Northern Soul...Chuck wood - 7 days too long is 1967 thats when I bought it and still have it. Al Wilson - The Snake Jimmy Radcliffe etc. These songs were being played at The Twisted Wheel, Takis, Top Of The Town, The Jigsaw ...all Soul clubs In the city of Manchester in the mid sixties. Some credit should go to those times. All Northern Soul people should dig beneath the surface of what they love and see the treasures that go much further back than Wigan Casino.Some of these songs belonged to another generation of Soul fans here and in the US....The Impressions even did an Album called Young Mods Forgotten Story.....Mods helped to make The Lambretta and Vespa scooters from Italy a must have for mods and the now taken for granted Army issue Parkas we used to buy for a few quid at the Army & Navy stores. I have a massive collection of Soul 45's Lp's and I never lost the faith and I'm just 63 years young lol. I must admit though to leave out The Entertainer by Tony Clarke tut tut. This is a very subjective list and not truly the best ever top 10....too many great songs missing but then my era influences my opinion I guess just like the guy who posted this list I'll say 50% ok...too many great songs should be here...and dont call me a troll ffs I'm entitled to an opinion. Dont get too Hedonistic think of it like this ....you would curse if the Music Industry had over popularised this Soul Music and turned it into over commercialisation....The Beauty of Soul Music like this is its lack of popularity on a commercial basis...When we were 16 we loved that our parents hated it because it was "OURS" most never got radio airplay just the few odd Motown Hits and even that annoyed us. We didnt want anyone else to like it only those who went to the clubs and respected out scene just like Northern Soul. I just wanted to talk about Soul Music its better than any woman it never bites Back lol.

"The Snake" is the most familiar song on this list, a top 20 hit on Billboard from 1968,and a CKLW favorite. The original version was by Oscar Brown Jr. On Columbia Records in 1962. The Frank Wilson tune from 1965 ('Do I Love You') has a now famous familiar story behind it: Berry Gordy felt that Frank Wilson was a better songwriter than a singer, and reportedly had around 200 copies of "Do I Love You" on Soul Records destroyed (melted down to be recycled into other Motown discs was the believed story) save for (at least) four copies that were stashed in a Motown company desk for historical safe keeping. These four copies were rediscovered in the mid-1990's when Motown was sold to MCA, then Polygram, and one was purchased by a collector in England for around $500-900. The other three are indeed valuable, reaching sales status of about $1,000 for their scarcity. MCA/Universal did make some limited current edition 45's in 2017 for record store day sales; these are around $5-10 each. Definitely one of Motown's most valuable records, and an overlooked oppertunity by Berry Gordy to make Frank Wilson a star if he only had more faith in the song to become a hit.
