It was impossible to ignore Soul II Soul when they debuted in 1989. There wasn’t a club, school, or community dance that didn’t play both “Back To Life” and “Keep On Movin” and when played out today, still evokes the spirit of unity and nostalgia for a time when genres meant nothing.

Soul II Soul and their amalgamation of African, Caribbean, and American influences (Funki Dredd - ‘A happy face, a thumpin’ bass, for a lovin’ race!’) are mentioned in the chapter of Paul Gilroy’s book “The Black Atlantic” (this website’s foundational text).

Gilroy considers “Keep On Movin” emblematic of the black, transatlantic conversation.
