Let's start with the bad news, first.
Last Wednesday we said goodbye to another soul singer. Gladys Horton was the lead voice of The Marvelettes for their early hits including "Please Mr. Postman". That song was Motown's first number one pop hit. Quite an accomplishment for a 15 year old. There are two Marvelettes songs on the show, just a way of paying tribute and saying thank you.
The birthday artists are kinda neat. Buddy King, Florence Larue and Bob Marley among others. This means I get to play three songs by The Magnificent Men, featuring Buddy and the Budweiser frog song as well, I love it.
A lot of the show is made up exploring the different sound of soul music from Chicago, Detroit, Memphis and Philly. I hope it makes sense and if not, the music is pretty damn cool.
Spring is coming, honest.
