A real Northern Soul…from Sam Dickinson’s debut Album ‘The Stories that Occurred’

When You Left Me Single Cover The North East of England, the Motown ‘Detroit’ industrial vibes of the Nissan Car factory coupled with the heavy industrial roots of the region have conspired and blessed us with Singer, Songwriter Sam Dickinson. Over the last four years he has honed his talents and now delivers his Soulful homage to Motown and Northern Soul. The Album has echoes of Jackie Wilson, Gene Pitney and fellow northerners The Beautiful South, giving the album a fresh but familiar, warm almost nostalgic sound.

From ‘How it Used to be’ – a rocky Ike & Tina Turner style floor filler, to the Gene Pitney drama of ‘Don’t Come Running Back’ to the Disco beat Nile Rodgers feel of ‘I’ve Gone, I’ve Quit’ – This Debut release has some real musical gems, 10 tracks of pure Soulful Pop.

Counting Beverley Knight, Mica Paris, Gabrielle and Jaki Graham amongst his legions of fans. He has charted in YouTube’s Top 40 as well as iTunes Top 40 Soul Chart with both his album ‘The Stories That Occurred’ and his last single ‘Lift Your Head’.
