Gospel according to Mica – The Story of Gospel Music in Six Songs British soul singer Mica Paris was brought up on gospel music and sang in church from an early age. In her teens, she became an international star, singing pop and soul and having worldwide hits. Now though, Mica is curious about the origins of the songs she sang so easily as a child, why some of her contemporaries have returned to their gospel roots as well as thinking about her own faith and her own big teenage decision to leave the church and sing secular music. Mica revisits her childhood church in Lewisham to start exploring the meaning and origins of these famous gospel songs. She examines songs such as Amazing Grace and discovers the complex reasoning behind the words. She sings with The Kingdom Choir, made famous by the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan, and travels to the cotton fields of America, where gospel was used to make the work of enslaved Africans more bearable. She meets the choir at Fisk University in Tennessee, who formed just after slavery was abolished and sang for Queen Victoria, and finds herself overwhelmed by her emotions when she finds out how the slavery freedom fighters used gospel to communicate. Mica also delves into the history of Sam Cooke and Thomas A Dorsey, who both encountered tragedy in and out of the church, and she sings with bluesman Jools Holland to contemporise a favourite gospel tune. Finally, Mica comes right up to date with the music of current artists, such as Stormzy, who have no fear of church versus secular music, are open about their faith and are combining the two with great success.

Latest releases for August 2020 from Ace Records Our regular Soul Source catch up of the month's new releases from Ace records... In Memphis Southern Soul George Jackson LP £15.60 The great singer/songwriter's essential Sounds of Memphis 70s recordings. New Breed R&B - Saturday Night Special New Breed R&B Various Artists (New Breed R&B) CD £11.50 The master tapes reveal more great New Breed R&B dance exclusives – fully augmented by rare records and elusive CD offerings from the past. Dirty Work Going On - Kent & Modern Records Blues Into The 60s Vol 1 Blues Various Artists (Kent/ Modern) CD £11.50 The blues didn’t stop with the end of the 50s and, as soul ruled the charts, the grittier end of black music was well represented by the nine artists on this compilation. Saint Etienne Present Songs For The Fountain Coffee Room 70s Rock Various Artists (Saint Etienne) CD £11.50 This is the soundtrack for a bar in mid-70s Los Angeles, the kind of place where Warren Beatty and Julie Christie might meet in the afternoon for a secret rendezvous. There’s a high quotient of blue-eyed soul, some airy R&B and the odd singer-songwriter. The pace is strictly mid-tempo; it’s too warm for anything faster. Girls With Guitars Know Why! Girls Various Artists (Girls With Guitars) LP £21.94 “It always bothered me when people would say, ‘You’re not bad for girls’. What does that mean, we can’t play? We would prove them wrong.” Cindy Wilhelmi, Girls Take Over Full details on all THEabove releases can be had via Ace Records fine website along with information on Ace 45th Anniversary Singles due out later this month https://acerecords.co.uk/ A more deliberate look at some of the above new releases will follow very shortly.

Male soul balladeers from the 60s have always been particularly admired. Roy Hamilton, Walter Jackson, Lou Johnson and Ben E King – some of the A-listers featured here – epitomise the genre and have devoted followers.
