DJ Freddy Cousaert played at the Groove, a late night downstairs bar frequented by US marines, lovers of blues and soul music and tourists, it was Cousaert who later looked after Marvin Gaye during his 80s sejourn in Ostend. The music he played at the Groove included ska, Latin jazz and even Broadway songs such as Stranger in Paradise, or Whatever Lola Wants from Damn Yankees...."

NORTHERN SOUL : LIVING FOR THE WEEKEND

an excellent BBC documentary

The northern soul phenomenon was the most exciting underground
British club movement of the 1970s. At its highpoint, thousands of disenchanted
white working class youths across the north of England danced to obscure,
mid-60s Motown-inspired sounds until the sun rose.
A dynamic culture of fashions, dance moves, vinyl obsession
and much more grew up around this - all fuelled by the love
of rare black American soul music with an express-train beat.
