Northern Soul Girl Dances to HAPPY - Pharrell vs Northern Soul

My most popular video went viral after uploading this street dance to Pharrell's Happy, which he went on to use as inspiration for his stage show in the UK. In this video passers by joined the fun and it created such an uplifting video. Pharrell Williams saw this video and contacted me to appear with him on stage at the Brit Awards to dance to his song at his performance inspired by this video. Link below
My video was inspired by Pharrell's 24 hour video he made of this song. I created a version and it is the World's first 2.4 minute northern soul video inspired by Pharrell Williams "Happy". Northern Soul Friends, just keep watching til 0.52 - second track by Velvet Hammer, a Northern Soul Classic. Subsequently the song got loads of love again and one of the original band members, Clifford Frazer of Velvet Hammer contacted me and we spoke about the record and how delighted he was to hear it being popular again. You can hear an acapella version he sent me on my Facebook Videos, its amazing!! This video is filmed in one take at Broad Street, Staple Hill Bristol. Staple Hill man you are a legend - UK all the way!!!

Production @streetsofsoul
Welcome to my channel. I make lots of music based videos, mainly dancing to really nice music. My music choices are based on having a first love of Soul and Funk music, although I love a lot of different types of music and rhythms. I enjoy sharing this love and making videos to re-imagine those tunes. I try to mix up classics with tunes not so well known, and putting creative and artistic visuals to the tunes can be fun and interesting, and the process of making videos is part of my journey which has led me to do lots of different things. I have released my own CD through Universal Music, and I have worked with many different companies and style brands where Music or Dance has been part of the campaign. I have worked for the BBC on Strictly as a choreographer, and danced with Pharrell at The Brits. I have had Music Radio Shows and I DJ as part of @streetsofsoul and sometime we put on events too!!

[@marysalvi242]

😘@@IfThisIsLev yes and I was wondering if and I know dancers can just be in their own zone : ) and perhaps for the video you were focus on that, though it would have taken the video into a much higher happier place. You know? So much that would have said...generations together, sharing the happiness by making eye contact etc. Is this type of dancing actually just done solo though sharing the same space? Asking truly cause I know here, usa Cambridge MA when we dance alone it's "unusual". I will say there was one club when I was an adult that on the Thursday nights when it got jammed packed, one girl caught my eye cause she would just get out there doing her thing an finally I realized what the heck am I waiting for...also I noticed women would hit the floor dancing together. Whatever, hope this doesn't cone across like I"m criticizing, I am not, just watching easy to have an "opinion", love ya!! ☮💖

[@Treaclebasket]

Hello. Not really sure where to start, to be honest - I used to be an actor (I was in a car accident which put paid to that), and in 2000 I was lucky enough to be in a play about Northern Soul, which toured around the country. I knew some of the tunes beforehand, and in order to learn the dance moves, me and the rest of the cast went to a few all nighters (Rotherham, Bridlington, Scarborough) while the play was still in rehearsal, and the thing that struck me, apart from the awesome music and the incredible moves, was the passion. The sheer, unbridled joy - a shared love and ownership of the music and all that it meant. And that, dear stranger, is what I just saw. Your absolute joy was so beautifully and perfectly communicated - it was so infectious in fact it got the passer-by dancing too. I don't know who you are, and I know we'll never meet, but I want you to know that I love you to bits! Yes, there'll be detractors - I've read some of the comments below - but you've got a passion, and you're showing it and sharing it - first locally, then globally. Nice one. Don't ever change. xxx

CLIFFORD FRAZIER: Singer/Actor/Writer Cliff started his professional singing career in 1967 with a group known as the Notations. He left that group to start recording with the group The Green Berets, who charted billboard at #34 nationally and abroad. Many of the songs recorded are still charting in the UK to this day. Cliff has toured with the Wild Onion Storytellers organization, studied voice at the Chicago Conservatory of Music. He has worked as an actor in over 12 major motion pictures, was a primary character in the radio soap opera “Garnd Blvd.” and he’s been seen in cameo roles on several network television shows and TV commercials. He has toured with the Black Ensemble Theater Company, and was nominated for a Jefferson Award for his role as the king in the play “The Other Cinderella.” He is a published poet and songwriter. He has written songs for the legendary Coasters and the DelVikings. Now with the Moods, Cliff sings first tenor, baritone, bass and lead singer.

Happy birthday from France, your smiling dance is always refreshing and put me in a good mood.

The older guy is from the golden age of Northern Soul! Trust me he is!

[@alanfairlamb3622]

well how can you not love this video, the music, the girl, the guy, the lads on boards simple yet most likely unplanned genius. northern soul was about the passion for the music and dancing. at the risk of sounding old and boring today a night out is all about drink and drugs with music just the background.

How lovely to see this happy situation. The beautiful girl is obviously happy and exudes that infectious happy feeling. Makes us all want to get up dance for joy. A refreshing break from all that’s going on today, thank you 👍🙏

I first saw people dancing like this on 24th January 1970 at you know where. 43 years later a beautiful young lady takes it to the streets. Our music will live forever.
