LaTasha Lee's Debut Soul 45! Killer & Ready To Deliver!
razadelsoul posted an article in Soul Music News,
LaTasha Lee from Corpus Christi, Texas, first broke the hearts of Rare Soul collectors with her acoustic porch performance of "I Regret It" on YouTube! Although "I Regret It" on YouTube only has an acoustic guitar, some spring, one backing harmony and LaTasha Lee's lead, it's enough to break hearts on sight!

The Bright Side of LIFE - Vel Lewis
Roburt posted an article in Soul Music Articles,
Around 1968, a Philly vocal group, the Naturals, were looking for a fresh bunch of musicians to back them up on live shows. A local band found out about this and made contact with the singers. Thus the Soul Crusaders and the Naturals teamed up to form an 11 strong ensemble. There were already a number of recording groups using the name the Naturals and so their managers came up with an appropriate new name for them; the FUTURES.

Ain't Nothin' But a House Party - A chat with Bruce Weinroth, producer of the Show Stoppers classic
Joel E Turner posted an article in Soul Music Articles,
Anyone who grew up listening to pop or R&B radio in Philadelphia (as I did) in the late 1960’s is familiar with The Show Stoppers’ raucous hit, “Ain’t Nothin’ But a House Party”. Frequenters of the Soul Source website may be familiar with the song from its release on Beacon in 1968 (more on that below).

Izipho Soul records - About Us & Release News
Mike posted an article in Soul Music News,
Stumbled on this the other day and thought may be of interest
Basically it a website 'about us' page from the Izipho Records website, but rather than a generic sort of site description, it goes way beyond that and gives an insight on the thinking, the origins, the practices and such behind this intriguing record label
