I was brought up on Jazz-Blues such as The Duke, Ella, Nat K-C, The Count etc. and that took me to Ska, Blue Beat, Rock-steady and Reggae then Soul, Motown and Philly.
They were in decline by the early 70s and were being overtaken by the most horrible music ever - Disco.

That was until the 80s and the desert years.
Off to listen to some Northern Soul. Neighbours are out so I can turn it up LOUD!
