Lost & Forgotten Soul: The American Cities — Part 1 of this two-part journey,
we go deep into the lost, rare and forgotten side of 1960s American soul.Forget the obvious hits and familiar names. This episode is about the artists, groups and records that slipped through the cracks — small labels, obscure releases, little-known singers and fantastic 45s that never received the recognition they deserved.We travel through the great American soul cities, including Philadelphia and Chicago, discovering the sounds that were being created long before many of these records found a second life on Britain's Northern Soul scene.From the developing Philadelphia sound to the energetic Chicago dancers, these are records full of character, emotion and mystery — some commercially released, others incredibly rare, and some discovered decades after they were recorded.These forgotten records tell another story of American soul: the story of the artists who never became household names, but whose music survived because somebody, somewhere, kept the faith and kept the record.This is Lost & Forgotten Soul: The American Cities — Part 1.And remember, there are always more records waiting to be discovered.
