BBC : Soul Britannia - 3of3 - Keep on Movin' (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.
Soul was in a state of flux in the mid-1980's. British pop-soul was certainly
growing into a global force: Sade conquered the world's coffee tables and solo
George Michael demonstrated a far deeper understanding of R & B than was ever
expected from a man last seen in tight shorts...
Episode 3: Keep on Movin'
But the majority of '80s soul was too slick and all rather "Miami Vice." What
happened to the passion, the sugar-sweet rawness? In a classic British move, we
looked back to move forwards. At Jazzie B's "Africa Centre," Barrie K Sharpe's
"Cat In The Hat" and illegal London warehouse parties, a multi-racial crowd
shook to black American funk & soul sounds from the late '60s and early '70s.
Similar to Northern Soul a decade earlier, "rare groove" was all about
fetishizing vinyl and grooving to undiscovered classics.
Out of this subterranean scene climbed a host of fresh UK talent. Principally,
it was Soul II Soul who mixed sound system culture with hip-hop, soul and
British pride. The world was theirs, although, the Brit Awards refused to
acknowledge their global success.
Other funky multi-racial acts followed in Soul II Soul's wake - the Brand New
Heavies and Young Disciples. Like these bands, Jamiroquai's Jay Kay was also
part of the rare groove scene. Drawing on the Seventies music of Stevie Wonder
and Roy Ayers he created a creamy soul-funk sound that captivated millions.
M-People also brought soulfulness to the masses with tracks like "Moving On Up"
New Labour grabbed it as a campaign anthem. British soul was now good for you -
it helped win elections.
But not all was rosy in the UK soul garden. Solo artists working in the classic
tradition, like Mica Paris, Beverley Knight and Omar, still struggled to get
their dues despite their prodigious talents. The British audience still hadn't
learnt to cultivate its own.
Those embracing sampling, sound system culture and hip-hop were more fortunate
than these traditionalists. Bristol's Massive Attack used these very ingre-
dients as the bedrock to their cinematic soul. So too did the Junglists and
Drum N' Bass brigade, utilizing the same tools to fashion a frenetic new urban
soundscape.
Nonetheless, British hip-hop suffered until it learnt to stop imitating
American gangsta-rappers and focus on UK issues and our Jamaican connection.
Crucially, it was dropping a little reggae in the mix that helped give British
hip-hop - from Roots Manuva to Skinnyman - its identity and originality.
At the dawn of the millennium, UK soul-inspired sounds exploded into a thousand
different shapes - from Ms Dynamite to Corinne Bailey Rae, Joss Stone to Amy
Winehouse, Lemar to Lethal Bizzle. Currently in a rude state of health, British
21st Century soul is a result of our unique multicultural society.
Over 40 years, we're moved from a nation of fans and imitators to one of black
and white musicians creating original, cutting edge music. We've travelled from
segregation to integration, as black American and Jamaican cultures have been
embraced and become entwined with English life, changing our society forever.
You get me?
Key Artists featured in this episode include Amy Winehouse, Mica Paris, Lemar,
Beverley Knight, Joss Stone, Jazzie B, Omar, and Roots Manuva.
