BBC : Soul Britannia - 1of3 - I Feel Good (2006)
___ General Information : _____________________________________________________
* Series Notes :
A three part series that examines the dynamic impact of black American and
Caribbean sounds on British music and society. A generation of young white
music fans fell in love with black music in the 60s and sold it back to
America while a generation of immigrants from the Caribbean helped introduce
soul and ska to Britain and helped launch a new youth culture.
With soul as its guiding light, the first film tracks the extraordinary musical
changes that post-war Britain experienced. After the staid, uptight 1950s, the
UK blossomed into an all-night, neon-lit soul-athon. From groovy Soho basements
to "Ready Steady Go" TV specials, the music rocked the nation through the
1960s...
* Episode 1: I Feel Good
The first film in the series examines how these sounds seeped into our culture
via imported US vinyl, the music West Indian immigrants brought with them and
the electric performances of touring American soul bands. Our traditional
reserve was soon broken down. In fact, the impact on the British - from London
night spots to Welsh valleys, Newcastle music halls to the Belfast docks - was
quite devastating. And it made bright young things like Georgie Fame, Eric
Burdon and Van Morrison feel extremely good, permeating their own musical
output.
The growing mass of Sixties Mods also embraced black music and helped popularize
transatlantic sounds in the UK. They championed former American GI, Geno
Washington, and Jamaican expatriate, Jimmy James, who became our very own soul
stars. Dusty Springfield, too, dominated the charts and disseminated her love
of Motown across the UK via TV specials.
As the Sixties progressed, soul moved from the British underground into
mainstream society, becoming a meeting point for black and white, a catalyst
for cultural and sexual exchanges. This passion for Afro-American and Caribbean
music - and our interpretation of them - created a fertile bed out of which an
original British soul sound would grow in the 1970s and beyond.
Key Artists featured in this episode include Elton John, Van Morrison, Tom
Jones, Solomon Burke, Mick Hucknall, Eric Burdon, Sam Moore, Georgie Fame, Jimmy
James, Geno Washington, and Julie Driscoll.

** Poster note - I realized (after posting was started) that there was a typo
on the Release name. When renaming the original files from the folder, I missed
fixing the title, from the capper's "Soul BriTTania" to the proper
"Soul BritaNNia" form. (letters in caps being the mistaken ones)
Oops - didn't want to Abort the posting, so Part 1 is online with 'Brittania'
name. I am adding this new NFO and the NZB with the correct names to allow
searches to find them. Sorry for the inconvenience! L.
