Re: Soul Music Night
...."motown northern philly"....
That may need explanation to the non-American folks, and the non-east coast Americans?!
Motown Records and subsequently the music was established in Detroit, Michigan. "Motortown" referencing the automobile manufacturing dominance there at the time. The record label later moved to LA.
Northern Philly is North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Predominantly Black since the 1960's, Motown music was very popular. There's really no geographic or ethnic boundaries on the music now, it's just enjoyed by a lot of people, but I would say mainly those who grew up in the eastern USA in the 50's to 70's. A lot explained at below link.

/\ Yep, I heard it on Radio 2 the other day but still think the original has more "soul". Good effort though by The Boss.
