Stevie Wonder Biography (Wikipedia)

Stevland Hardaway Morris (né Judkins; born May 13, 1950), better known by his stage name Stevie Wonder, is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist.
A child prodigy, Wonder is considered to be one of the most critically and commercially successful musical performers of the late 20th century. He signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11, and continued performing and recording for Motown into the 2010s. He has been blind since shortly after his birth. Among Wonder's works are singles such as "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours", "Superstition", "Sir Duke", "You Are the Sunshine of My Life", and "I Just Called to Say I Love You"; and albums such as Talking Book (1972), Innervisions (1973), and Songs in the Key of Life (1976). He has recorded more than 30 U.S. top-ten hits and received 25 Grammy Awards, one of the most-awarded male solo artists, and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the top 60 best-selling music artists....

"Soul Searching" brings you the freshest new soul talent from around the globe for a chance to see the soul stars of tomorrow today.
Ben Pirani and the Means of Production hail from New York, USA. Their Daptone Records distributed debut single "Light of my Life" when they were called 'Benjamin and the Right Direction' changes hands on the Northern Soul scene for hundreds of pounds. The follow-up single "Not One More Tear" is a classic Northern Soul stomper of the highest order. Signing to Colemine Records, Ben Pirani released his debut album "How Do I Talk To My Brother?" at the end of 2018. These dates will be the first UK shows ever

Laville is the first new male solo artist signed to Acid Jazz Records since Jamiroquai. His first two singles "Easy" and "Thirty One" have created a buzz on the soul scene and these will be his first UK tour dates.

Mali Hayes has received radio support from Gilles Peterson and Jamie Cullum for her jazzy-neo soul sound and has supported Bilal, Blue Lab Beats, Sons of Kemet and more.
'A really great new British female vocalist from Manchester..
She's got a real un-flashy kind of approach which I really like. Kind of a milder Jill Scott / Erykah Badu, definitely one to watch."
Jamie Cullum - BBC Radio 2
"I was fortunate enough to play demo's on my shows here at the BBC by Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. All premiers. And this is another one I think I'm gonna be proud of in a few years. Remember the name, Mali Hayes"
Gilles Peterson - BBC 6 Music/Brownswood/Worldwide FM

A focus on a most recent double Cd release from Kent Records offering The Undisputed Truths final Motown albums.
The Undisputed Truth - Cosmic Truth & Higher Than High - Kent Records CDTOP2 483
The psychedelic soul group’s final two Motown albums. Produced by Norman Whitfield.
Listen while you Read

Kent Release notes preview
A couple of years ago, as part of our ongoing series of reissues of repertoire from the Motown catalogue, we were delighted to give the CD premiere to three Gordy albums by producer Norman Whitfield’s pet project the Undisputed Truth. The group’s second album having already been issued on CD, our package embraced the first, third and fourth. No sooner had we done so when Motown fans started to lobby for the reissue of “Cosmic Truth” and “Higher Than High”, the two Gordy albums by the group’s second line-up, which we decided to pursue if sales of the first collection proved healthy...
...this 2CD package marks the first time these two albums have been reissued in their entirety. The booklet contains a wealth of rare illustrations and notes featuring quotes from a new interview with Virginia McDonald, the lone female member of the group’s second line-up and co-lead singer on ‘Help Yourself’ with Joe Harris. “Cosmic Truth” and “Higher Than High” have stood the test of time well and, although they contain no major smashes, there are hits on each album that will be well remembered by Motown aficionados. If anything, they both sound better with the passing of years.

A great Sunday morning listen from Colemine Records via youtube, listen in full to the recently released Barbara Howards Colemine LP
Available in Vinyl, Cd, mp3 and Audio Cassette formats
Barbara Howard - On The Rise LP [FULL ALBUM STREAM]
Barbara Howard’s On The Rise is more than just another rare soul LP. It’s a love story. It’s a dream. It was an attempt to break through. And although Barbara certainly never became a star, one song did become a staple in rare soul and funk DJ sets, keeping interest in Barbara Howard just under the surface. And as fate would have it in 2016, a sealed copy of the LP would find its way into Plaid Room Records in Loveland, OH and kick start the revival of her story and her music.
In 1968, as an outgrowth of a community movement and talent search program called “Operation Step-Up”, Steven Reece wanted to take his community movement to the next level. This is when the idea of founding an independent label came to mind. The idea was to self-produce quality records and through successful sales attempt to land major label distribution. Steve identified Barbara Howard as the talent and set to producing her record.
The idea was to produce an LP with a variety of tracks that could be marketed to a variety of radio formats and markets (gospel, pop, soul, jazz, etc.). And while the record fizzled shortly after its release, Steve and Barbara ended up getting married shortly afterwards making this possibly the most romantic production of a record is soul music history.
So via Colemine’s reissue imprint Remined Records, we are proud to present to you Barbara Howard’s On The Rise.

Hard to keep up at times...
a new topic for new releases 2019
THE SURE FIRE SOUL ENSEMBLE feat. KELLY FINNIGAN
Single out 3/20/19
“Impeach The President”, originally released in 1973 by The Honey Drippers as a protest song advocating for the impeachment of Richard Nixon became more famous for its drum breaks than the song itself… sampled in over 700 songs (according to Whosampled.com). Fast forward to 2019 with our country as divided as ever and this song’s anthem as relevant as ever. So with Jake Najor on drums, Kelly Finnigan on vocals, and San Diego’s The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble holding it down, Colemine Records is proud to present “Impeach The President”!!

Word on a new upcoming 45 from Timmion records
Details
Album: Wondering [SINGLE]
Track: 1 of 2
Title: Wondering
Artist: Gerald McCauley (feat. Cold Diamond & Mink)
Label: Timmion
Cat#: TR726
Formats: 7" Vinyl/Digital
Digital Release: 15th March 2019
Physical Release: 22nd March 2019
Preview Video

Blurb from Timmion Records
About This Release:
Sometimes in soul music history it has seemed that record producers couldn't get enough of a certain backing track, churning out singles after another, chasing for a hit that never came. The latter doesn't really apply to Pratt & Moody's "Lost Lost Lost", which just recently broke 1 million Youtube plays. While stacking up fame in the lowrider soul scene, this beat ballad also caught the ear of the West Coast record collector and dj Mike Noriega, who decided to write fresh lyrics to accompany its instrumental.
"Wondering" that came as a result was brought to life by the singer and industry insider Gerald McCauley, who turned his soul inside out for the performance. In the past McCauley has worked as a musician, A&R man for example in a project involving George Benson and Al Jarreau and even produced a book and documentary on the history of the Fender Rhodes electric piano. Here he slips comfortably into the Cold Diamond & Mink groove, squeezing every drop of heartache on tape.
This version continues the story of "Lost Lost Lost" so gracefully that one can only wonder, if there are more to come. Who will be the next poor soul to sink into this deceivingly blissful bed of roses, filled with piano, drums and slide guitar?

Jerry O, On The Record - Off The Wall
A new book has just been published about one of the most enigmatic names on the sixties Soul scene - Jerry O.

Never really accepted as a true Soul singer, Jerry Murray was more of a Soul showman who owned record labels, produced records, managed groups, deejayed and released eighteen records himself.

PRE ORDER NOW FOR 20th MARCH 2019
JIMMY GRESHAM - GARDEN OF LOVE / LOVE SYMPHONY (SOUL 4 REAL 06)
Welcome to release #6 from Soul4Real containing two previously unreleased tracks from Jimmy Gresham recorded in the early 1970s at Playground Studios in Florida and produced by Finley Duncan.
Jimmy Gresham and his killer vocals have graced many releases that have excited deep, southern & northern soul collectors the world over. His solo 45s on labels such as Decca or Teri-De plus his 45s as part of the groups The New Yorkers & The Groovers and his collaborations with Len Jewell or Rosey Grier have yielded many great moments in soul music history. Along with his siblings Mary Gresham, Willie Gresham & Ben Gresham they make a soulful dynasty going back to the early 1960s. A full appraisal of their careers is not possible here but certainly worth further investigation.
Of the two lost recordings, the top side “Garden Of Love” is a lovely mid-tempo southern soul/crossover love song with Jimmy’s gritty vocals really doing the business. Flip it over for more mid-tempo southern soul but this time with an edge of funk to a song of lost love. Served up in Soul4Real’s signature packaging - what’s not to like?
(Steve Plumb)

New 45 from Timmion and it's one that makes an instant impression.

Blurb goes like this...
Prolific soul man Carlton Jumel Smith made a fresh opening into deep vintage soul sounds with his Timmion single debut. Now he's back for more with the dancefloor track "This is What Love Looks Like,” paving the road towards his album, which is dropping on Timmion at the beginning of 2019. Think of classic funky soul with a little bit of Chicago, some Tighten Up guitar and blaring horn melodies, and you get an idea, where this energizing groove is headed.
This Is What Love Looks Like -Carlton Jumel Smith & Cold Diamond & Mink - Timmion

01. This Is What Love Looks Like! (feat. Cold Diamond & Mink) [04:07]
02. This Is What Love Looks Like! (Instrumental) [04:19]

Word on a new release from Kent records...
Tommy Hunt - The Complete Man - 60s NYC Soul Songs CDKEND 480

Release Notes
Tommy Hunt’s classic 60s soul recordings for Scepter and Dynamo along with his elusive Atlantic and Capitol gems, plus five recent early 60s Scepter tape discoveries.
Tommy Hunt’s reputation as a major soul artist was built on his early 60s Scepter recordings; both the issued 45s and the master tapes Ace accessed in the 80s. Many of those were issued by us on “The Biggest Man” CDKEND 145 in 1997. Since then there have been more Scepter tape discoveries and increased demand for his superb mid-60s Atlantic and Capitol 45s – which are featured here.

There were several Scepter and Dynamo tracks that we could not fit onto “The Biggest Man”. We have included those so that all of Tommy’s 60s recordings are now available; including the rare alternate B-side ‘How Young Is Young’, his Hot 100 hit ‘The Door Is Open’ and the scarce Scepter LP-only ‘You’re So Fine’.

The unissued Scepter recordings include a great take on Van McCoy’s ‘What’s The Matter Baby’, originally cut by Van and Tommy but only issued by the Shirelles – Tommy’s version was recorded in 1963 with a different arrangement. ‘Lonely For You’ was written by Van McCoy with Tommy’s original producer Luther Dixon and, like ‘One Of These Days’, is a fine beat ballad. ‘Who You Gonna Thrill Tonight’ and ‘Girls Are Sentimental’ are the sort of romantic ballads typical of New York studios in 1962. All these newly found tracks are fully orchestrated.

Uptempo soul comes in the form of Oscar Brown Jr’s ‘The Work Song’, ‘Never Love A Robin’ and the 100 Club favourite ‘The Pretty Part Of You’...

Having spent 2018 co-writing and performing with Swedish number 1 selling artist Magnus Carlson on his 2018 album, A Nordic Soul, Fay has truly claimed 2019 as her own. From the forthcoming album, Propeller on Well Suspect Records produced by erstwhile Paul Weller bassist Andy Lewis.

Black Panthers, The Lumpen, and Marvin Gaye
When Bottom & Company and Redbone had finished as ‘openers’ at The Forum, Los Angeles in May 1974, Marvin Gaye came on stage to a 32-piece orchestra conducted by Gene Page together with the back-up quartet Ladies Choice(ii). Marvin started with ‘Trouble Man’ and finished with ‘What’s Going On’.

Michael Torrance was one of those back-up singers in Ladies Choice, and also on the “Marvin Gaye Live LP” that was recorded live at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, California. He also became a writer at Motown during the late 70’s (ii). https://www.discogs.com/High-Inergy-Skate-To-The-Rhythm/master/559162

What follows is not a scholarly review of the political struggle facing the Black Panther Party. It is merely to highlight some of the musical association of those times with that Party. If not all, then some people who search out the history of Soul/Funk will already know much of this. However, perhaps those that follow R&B, Soul and Northern Soul, and other soul genres might be unaware and even surprised by it.

Michael Torrance was also first and foremost a representative of the Black Panther Party, and in the quartet that was The Lumpen. The original members were Michael Torrance, Bill Calhoun, Clark (Santa Rita) Bailey-Santa Rita Jail is in Alameda County, and I assume Clark had spent some time there. The other group member was James Mott. The Lumpen was essentially the Black Panther Party Revolutionary Singing Group. The existence of which only really surfaced when Rickey Vincent(iii) learned from Walter Turner (a journalist at KPFA) that the Panthers had a band called The Lumpen.(iv)
A year before The Lumpen’s arrival – 50 years ago in 1969, the Panthers' protest at Olympia mirrored one that had occurred in California's capital Sacramento in 1967 against a similar gun law known as the Mulford Act.

Picture(v): February 28th 1969 Two Black Panthers, part of a group who marched up the steps of the State Capital building, Olympia, being confronted by Captain R.J. Ranney.

Under such circumstances, it’s hardly surprising that the movement also “used music as a means to not only document their struggle but also to educate, motivate and inspire people to resistance(vi) - Michael Torrance.
In Sept 1969 Vault Records(vii) took a project on to record Elaine Brown Deputy Minister of Information for the Black Panthers. Out of that came “Seize the Time” LP, and Jack Lewerke (Vault prexy) gave 500 copies to the Black Panther Party for promotion https://www.discogs.com/Elaine-Brown-Seize-The-Time-Black-Panther-Party/master/394499 . Proceeds from the LP went towards maintaining its program of providing free breakfasts for ghetto children.
And again in 1973 Elaine Brown delivered “No Time” [‘One Time’ on “Seize the Time” LP] “Until We’re Free” - Black Forum B20000F. Black Forum recordings get scarce notice in any anthology of the Motown label. The Motown imprint released eight albums between 1970 and 1973, including a Martin Luther King, Jr. speech denouncing the Vietnam War.
As for The Lumpen in terms of recording? - just one released single “Free Bobby Now” [refers to the plight of Black Panther leader Bobby Seale(viii) who was in jail] / “No More”, both on Seize The Time label ‎BPP-4501.
They toured, singing at community centres, clubs, and rallies. Mostly in the San Francisco area like at Merritt College, Oakland.

There are two never-released sides by The Lumpen that had been recorded at a 1970 concert at Merritt College(ix) - “Thomas Wallace and drummer Minor Williams anchored the song with a groove borrowed from (James) Brown's "There Was a Time." A version of Curtis Mayfield's 1965 freedom anthem "People Get Ready" followed, but instead of singing about not needing a ticket to board a train that's coming, as Mayfield had, The Lumpen substituted the lines revolution's come and your only ticket is a loaded gun”.
Others played their part.

As an inmate, Ike White was heading a committee which booked outside entertainment to play at San Quentin prison. In 1971 he helped organise “Soul [Consciousness] Day” (which became renamed as Malcolm X Day at San Quentin”). Curtis Mayfield, Muhammad Ali, War, Jimmy Witherspoon and Eric Burden were invited(x) (xi). It was a day-long event organised by the prisoners’ organisation, with the help of the newly formed San Quentin Prison Chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP).

There is a further account that Curtis Mayfield was actually the headliner. What the prison authorities were unaware of was the supporting band was none other than The Lumpen and their band the Freedom Messengers(xii).

The Lumpen had lasted a year and broke soon after in 1971.

Curtis Mayfield also had sides like “Mighty Mighty (Spade and Whitey)”, The Impressions had “Choice of Colors”, The Temptations “Message from a Black Man”, and James Brown “Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud”.

The latest 45 from Diggin' Deep is now avail for pre-order...
Details, video and blurb follow right below

DD 004A Sir Ted Ford ‘Right Now'

DD 004B Sir Ted Ford ‘I Can’t Give You Up’

The latest 45 is an astounding double-sider that Diggin’ Deep are extremely proud to be able to bring to you.
Two tremendous Soul sides, each with a different flavour, though both are classic ‘Muscle Shoals’ tracks, emanating from the legendary FAME studios, Muscle Shoals Alabama, USA.
To try to describe the topside of the new 45, entitled quite simply ‘Right Now’ I don’t think we’ll be able to really do it justice, except to say it’s without doubt the best unreleased, unheard, Southern soul dancer we’ve encountered in years.

‘Right Now’ by Sir Ted Ford is the type of sound that ticks all the right boxes and will be sought after by collectors of Northern, Crossover and Southern Soul alike! It’s really that good.
This exclusive Diggin’ Deep issue is its first ever release in any format and is out now for a very limited time on one of our special edition vinyl 45’s.

For the flipside we have chosen to release Sir Ted’s killer blue soul opus ‘I Can’t Give You Up’. Long regarded as a Deep Soul classic, this vocal tour de force was only ever made available on the small Budd label, released some 50 years ago. To many it’s the epitome of Muscle Shoals Deep Soul and recorded (as with the topside) at Rick Hall’s Fame Studios in 1969. The backing is provided by the famous ‘Swampers’ and we are sure it will leave all true music fans breathless, behind the tortured and ‘heart wrenching’ vocal of Sir Ted Ford.
Both Sides are written by Sir Ted Ford and are a testament to this artist’s undoubted and wide-ranging talent.

Diggin’ Deep are honoured to be able to bring you these recordings and are planning more from Sir Ted Ford, later in the year.
Please take a few minutes to listen to the promotional video. We hope you’ll agree, this is a 45 that every Soul fan will want to have in their collection.
DD004 collector’s release is a limited pressing @ just £12 each plus postage and packing.

Avoid Disappointment. Pre-order now, while stocks last.
Note: Only one copy per person. First come, first served.

Taken from a session at the famous Virtue studios, it's a track by a previously unknown soul group called "The Fun & Funk Family" and the track is "Shouldn't Have Said Goodbye" and it's pretty darned good!!!

Bizarrely on the same tape is Ronnie Walker's release for "Gala" records, but Ron had no recollection of this group.

Impulse “You Changed Me/What’s That Sound”   Kandi
Two previously unissued tracks released as a vanity project in the fall of 2018. “You Changed Me” is an excellent modern soul dancer already being championed by Dj’s in the know, while “What’s That Sound” is a more funk influenced outing. Copies available at £12.00 each plus £3.00 postage (1strecorded, UK) overseas at cost. (Sorry only one copy per person). To reserve PM or E-mail: david.welding@blueyonder.co.uk
The Groups History:
Impulse were (and still are) a group of Milwaukee, Wisconsin musicians who during 1976 migrated to Oakland California where they hooked up with a fellow  Brewtown producer and recording artist, one Harvey Scales. Scales himself in 1976, through his earlier local hit “Glamour Girl” (recorded for the local Sauk City, Cuca Label) and a string of recordings for Lenny Lacour’s Magic Touch label. Of which “Get Down” had bought him both National and International attention through it being picked up Atlantic Records was at the height of his powers, following the success of Johnny Taylors Columbia Records platinum hit “Disco Lady” a  song Scales co-wrote.

Under the auspice of Scales, Impulse began recording a self titled debut album project for a proposed release on the Casablanca label. This release for whatever reason never materialised and it is from the surviving master tapes that the above two tracks have been taken.  The Casablanca setback although disappointing would not be the end of The Impulse story, the groups lead singer /songwriter John Gee had begun performing secular music in the late 60’s with another local Milwaukee outfit , The Chef’s  and had sung lead on their  1974 Funk outing “Mr Machine” on their own  Pro-Gress label. John credited as a solo artist recorded (in Milwaukee) the 1980 release “Not Enough Love Makin’/You Are That Man (Why Don’t You Be That Man)” which gained a release on the Oakland C.A Pashlo label. Followed by the 1985 modern soul dance favourite “So Good To Me/Just Get On” recorded under the artist name of Jon Pierre Gee for his own Kandi Inc label, as 45, 12” and cd project, returning in 2005 with the Ah’vant Soul concept cd album project.
Throughout all these projects Jon has used and enjoyed performing with the original members of Impulse, Michael Reese (Rhodes Piano and Background vocals), Cedrick Rupert (Lead and Rhythm Guitar), Jeffrey Williamson (Drums and background vocals) and Robin Gregory (Bass and background vocals. These guys are still performing today (2019) with the exception of drummer, Jeffrey Williamson who passed away during 2015, his replacement being Coley Jackson.
