Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels - Break Out




Welcome to Soulbot, the number one Soul Music Database on the web

We went to both these clubs, firstly as young teenagers, still at school. Later we both DJ’d at The Blue Note and imported many rare records from the U.S. which later became adopted by the Northern Soul scene which is still flourishing today. The were exciting times with exciting music. Soul and Soul influenced music is one of the very few genres which still makes people of all ages want to hit the dance floor after all the years that have passed since.
It is our aim to have entries on every single artist whose music was played during the early to mid sixties and late at the soul clubs which began the movement now known as Northern Soul.Some of the stars of this soul and blues database have now passed away, some tragically and others peacefully. Some still survive and perform, often recapturing the magic that drew us to them in the first place – William Bell for instance and even Little Richard (`I’m 72 years old and I’m still beauuuuutiful!’). Soulbot is idiosyncratic, partial and sometimes might be annoying – but there we are. And it includes ‘Northern’ and also more modern Soul artists and music: you can certainly believe that the music of all types included are well liked by us, but with a bias to the roots of our first taste of Soul: 60T’s Soul.
We hope it gives you a taste of the blues and a love of soul and an insight into the formative years of the soul movement. If it only gives you the desire to discover more before these memories fade away then it will be a job well done. Of yes almost forgot; there will be a little bit of Blue Beat, SKA some Latin and bit of Jazz.
You will find lots of information about the artists and their recordings and no apologies are made for emphasising our favourites like this one: The MONKEY TIME
The Monkey Time




You will find all these songs and many more within SOULBOT – The Blue Note DJ.
And that’s because as Dyke and his Blazers said – WE GOT MUCH MORE SOUL.
