The idea of 'What is Soul' came about from sharing music in They Reminisce or T.R.O.Y it is a Facebook group set up in 2014 to share Soul Funk Jazz Disco House and Hip Hop from the classic tracks from way back to the underground sounds you've never heard of and also discovering and sharing new music every week for everyone to enjoy. For more information see the blog, listen to the playlist's or get involved in the group..

A history lesson in music on this playlist, all tracks played in the highly influential night the Highland Room at Blackpool Mecca.

 

This is where the music of Northern Soul was mixed with the new Disco Sound and 70's US Soul which was later called Modern Soul.

 

The DJ of this club Inspired the What is Soul playlist's with his multi genre music selection and ability to change with all the new styles of music arriving in the 70's 80's and 90's.
