It's very early Friday, October 21st, the Monday show is done and I can look at it in it's entirety.

It's pretty neat, if I do say so. There's some "west coast" soul with Ty Karim, The Marvelows, The Furys and The Tempos. CORRECTION. Earlier I'd made the mistake of saying the Furys become the Tempos. I'll blame it on the 5:00am hour. In fact, the Tempos later became the Younghearts. Thank youo, DB.

There's a very early Spinners tune, a Billy Butler song that most of you won't be familiar with and a terrific Jackie Wilson cut. All this is just part of the story.

I enjoy bringing the "lesser known" songs to you. There was so much more to "Soul Music" than the top 4-5 acts from Motown and the super hit makers of Stax. Hopefully, you enjoy hearing songs that are "new to you" or maybe tune you'd forgotten all about. It's a challenge to make it all flow and not to inundate you with too much "intellectual lint". The challenge is one I've enjoyed taking on for five years.

Have a great week, enjoy the show and remember "If you like us, tell your friends about us. If you don't like us, keep your mouth shut and let your friends find out for themselves" ROFL
