Page "Northern soul" Paragraph 25

Other related music styles also gained acceptance in the northern soul scene.

Slower, less-danceable soul records were often played, such as Barbara Mills ' " Queen Of Fools " ( popular in 1972 at the Golden Torch ) and The Mob ’ s " I Dig Everything About You ".

Every all-nighter at Wigan Casino ended with the playing of three well-known northern soul songs with a particular going home theme.

These came to be known as the " 3 before 8 " and were: " Time Will Pass You By " by Tobi Legend, " Long After Tonight Is Over " by Jimmy Radcliffe, and " I'm On My Way " by Dean Parrish.

Commercial pop songs that matched the up-tempo beat of the stompers were also played at some venues, including The Ron Grainer Orchestra ’ s instrumental " Theme From Joe 90 " at Wigan Casino and The Just Brothers ’ surf-guitar song " Sliced Tomatoes " at Blackpool Mecca.
