Genre: Northern Soul / Funk / R&B

Description:
This two-sider from Linda Lloyd & The Tangeers captures the transitional moment between 1960s Northern Soul and early ’70s crossover funk. “Breakaway” is an uptempo floor-filler with bright horns, tambourine drive, and a soaring vocal that embodies the classic Detroit-style soul energy.
The flip side, “Let My Heart and Soul Be Free,” slows the tempo slightly, adding gospel-inflected call-and-response and a grittier groove.

Neither track was a chart hit, but both became Northern Soul rarities championed at venues like the Wigan Casino and Blackpool Mecca. In recent years, snippets of “Breakaway” have been looped in modern-soul and nu-funk edits, keeping the track alive among crate-digging producers seeking authentic vocal hooks.
