I've just completed my 8th Annual Carolina Soul "Thursday Night Feature" on WXYC 89.3 FM in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The program is available for download below, in two parts, and the playlist, annotated with links for further reading, follows.

You can also access all of this information from the Carolina Soul website, which now features a blog:

One more plug: a new blog and soon to be record label that I am a part of (some of the links in the playlist will take you to this site):

https://www.paradiseofbachelors.com

Part 1 features '60s and '70s soul and funk selections, most with dance beats:

Part 2 features '70s and '80s love ballads, a couple of slow cuts that defy categorization, and even a little soulful gospel for good measure:

Enjoy.

Nice to hear some of those more contemporary cuts also

And out of all the tunes you played this was probably the most breathtaking for me:

Brown Sugar Inc. "Sweet Love Of Mine"

Stunning vocals on that one, is it one or two vocalists on that track?

Best regards

Melismo

Hi Jas, the show is the business as usual......& my list of 'wants' grows ever longer, The Carolinas are one of my fave areas for music & it never ceases to amaze me the amount of great tunes that came from there, I'll be in touch my friend & keep diggin' as your efforts enrich our soulful lives.....

Speak real soon buddy

Russ

Thanks for the feedback, fellows.

Val, any plans to return to the USA?

Hi Jason, Elaine and I are thinking of doing a trip July/August time. We might well be in your neck of the woods.

Thanks again for the positive response, all.

Melismo, I like your list. Brown Sugar Inc. I believe does feature two vocalists. Great track indeed. Too bad that the LP as advertised on the 45 label was never cut.

Russ, good to hear from you; I'll definitely keep in touch.

And Val, keep me posted on your travel plans, it would be nice to see you and Elaine again.
