The Big Apple had long been a leading centre of Afro-American music, from the Tin Pan Alley days right through to
the fifties and sixties. By 1966, when soul was the dominant musical form, New York was THE recording centre of the
US, with more records produced here than anywhere else. And while there aren’t many hits represented here and you
may not have heard of half of the singers, these tracks represent the sound of the city rather better than many big label
productions. This is the sound of the streets and the clubs. It’s music from way below the radar, bringing together all
the branches of the soul tree from funky R & B to sweet group soul, from pounding uptempo dancers to big city cry
ballads. These grooves speak to the feet and to the heart – what more could anyone ask for?
