Donny Hathaway, Al Green, Luther, stevie wonder, and Marvin Gaye aren't southern tho :patrice:
Al Green got his break in Memphis where his producer was from. So the music he made was considered Southern Soul. I guess it's similar to how The D.O.C. was from the south but the music he made was considered west coast G Funk.

Al Green is apart of that rich music history in Michigan

DOC is literally just a TX nikka in Ruthless records

That's the thing though DOC was Texas nikka that made Cali music and I didn't even know Al Green was born in Michigan until I got older. I always assumed he was from Memphis. You can listen to the difference between Al Green beats and say somebody from Motown beats. Most Northern Soul seems more dream like and smooth or romantic no homo. Southern soul is a little more rough around the edges, old school party music.

How true is this? In fact what is this :dead:

"Northern soul is a music and dance movement that emerged in Northern England in the late 1960s from the British mod scene as a particular style of black American soul music based on the heavy beat and fast tempo of the mid-1960s Tamla Motown sound.[1][2]"

Northern soul - Wikipedia


northern soul in england is a movement birthed from the rare/second tier/flops of american soul music of the 1960s









usa flops were big in the UK lol

You not far off, Al Green come outta Arkansas, my wife’s fam grew up with his. I think he moved to Michigan at some point later on. Regardless you right, Al Green’s whole sound came outta Willie Mitchell’s camp, which was straight up and down Memphis.
