Correct me if I am wrong but Northern Soul is basically a British term for music produced at Motown and other labels in the northern US, correct?

Correct me if I am wrong but Northern Soul is basically a British term for music produced at Motown and other labels in the northern US, correct? Well, no. The first two paragraphs from its wiki explain it rather well: "Northern soul is a music and dance movement that emerged in Northern England and The Midlands in the late 1960s. It developed from the British mod scene, based on a particular style of Black American soul music with a heavy beat and fast tempo (100 bpm and above). "The Northern soul movement generally eschews Motown or Motown-influenced music that has had significant mainstream commercial success. The recordings most prized by enthusiasts are by lesser-known artists, released in limited numbers on labels such as VeeJay, Chess, Brunswick, Ric-Tic, Gordy Records, Golden World Records (Detroit), Mirwood Records (Los Angeles), Shout Records and Okeh." The rest is worth reading too. This is probably the best loved Northern Soul record of them all, Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)", a Motown recording with a difference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_I_Love_You_(Indeed_I_Do)
