Modern soul is a style of music with associated clothing and dance styles (precursors to the Disco era) that developed in Northern England in the early 1970s. Modern soul developed from the northern soul scene when some DJs began looking in record shops of the United States and United Kingdom for something more complex and contemporary. What emerged was a richer sound that was as lyrically and melodically soulful as northern soul but more advanced in terms of Hi-Fi and FM radio technology.
