Alice Clark – Soul to Northern Soul

Alice Clark - You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me)

You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me)

This track by Alice Clark had become a huge hit on the Northern Soul scene.

Alice Clark apparently had children and life wasn’t always easy for her. It was just one of those amazing thing where a fairly obscure artist has released a single which is defined as Northern Soul and from then on, is looked on entirely differently. There’s absolutely no doubt it firmly belongs in the genre, from the strings to the beat time, just perfect.

Kim Weston made the first recording but it was never officially released.

Say You’ll Never (Never Leave Me) (1968)

This was a typical example of the slow Soul tracks that got played at Manchester’s Blue Note club at the end of the Sixties. The ACTION label was well known for releasing a great and varied repertoire of Soul artists in the UK in the later part of the sixties decade.
