Marvin Gaye Play Set To Open in Northampton May 2016
Reported that 'Soul' a new play all about Marvin Gaye's life and death will be having its world premiere in Northampton during May 2016. The press night is scheduled for May 24 and the play running from May 20 to June 11, James Dacre, the Royal & Derngate theatre's artistic director said to the BBC "It's a dramatic thriller, not a musical," and "It will have the spirit and energy of Motown and will include music from the time." Williams' play will be set within the confines of the Los Angeles home that Gaye bought for his extended family. "Whilst the piece looks at three generations of a post-war African American family, everything roots back to the home and what happened in the course of 18 days underneath that roof," Dacre told the BBC. More info can be read via the BBC and Guardian articles via the links below, with the Guardian being the more lengthy ...Williams says: “I wanted to avoid doing a standard biopic and play about with form a little – push myself as a writer and push the play. The play begins with his death and it works backwards, and it’s his two sisters and the ghost of his mother telling the story. It’s really about how they all dealt with having such an icon in their lives, and them trying to find their own identities and their own selves within the world of Marvin...” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34945808 http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2015/nov/30/roy-williams-play-marvin-gaye-soul-royal-derngate

BBC Soul Deep Episode 6 - From Ghetto To Fabulous
note use full screen for best viewing EPISODE GUIDES Soul Deep - The Story Of Black Popular Music From Ghetto to Fabulous - Ep 6/6 BBC Two June 11, 9.00-10.00pm Mary J Blige, the queen of hip-hop soul, speaks candidly about her journey from ghetto to fabulous in the final programme of Soul Deep. Her music represents the fusion of R&B and hip-hop and completes the journey that started 50 years ago with the emer- gence of the early soul sounds of Ray Charles and ends with black R&B artists' domination of the charts today. The extraordinary story of the unstoppable rise of urban R&B, with its diamond-dripping, darlings of the media, high profile celebrity artists - such as BeyoncÈ and Destiny's Child - is traced back to the housing projects in Yonkers in the Eighties where Mary J Blige started out. Her tempestuous career began when producer Andre Harrell signed her to Uptown Records. "She wasn't an album, she was a movie," comments Andre. On the way up, the pressure of stardom nearly destroyed her. "To cope with life in the music business, I had to get wasted all the time," she admits. But her music spoke to the streets. She brought the rawness of classic soul into the hip-hop era. Andre says: "We took her pain and put it on a platform to be the communicator for all that generation of women who grew up in the Eighties in a single parent decade, with crack being the main drug - which took whole households out." Her music has had a massive influence. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child says: "I think of Mary J Blige as the Aretha Franklin of our generation because she's got so much soul." Producer and former Fugees,Wyclef Jean discusses the meteoric rise of Destiny's Child (which has made them The Supremes of the R&B generation) and comments: "It's the hard rhythmic singing style of BeyoncÈ Knowles that makes her an extraordinary vocal figure." A pre-cursor to hip-hop soul was the emergence of new jack swing, epitomised by the alpha male performance of Bobby Brown. He brought black masculinity and ghetto style back to the game. Another part in the jigsaw of world domination by R&B artists was played by video producer Hype Williams. A former graffiti artist, he placed black artists in dreamy, exotic locations which brought urban R&B music to a wider audience. Images like Missy Elliott in an inflatable rubber suit,TLC on a swing and Puffy on a yacht "did for the video world what Picasso did to the art world - turned it on its head," comments writer Barry Michael Cooper. The combination of all these factors has meant that R&B - with its roots in soul music which has been evolving over the last 50 years - has moved from ghetto to ghetto-fabulous to simply fabulo BBC Soul Deep Episodes Online BBC Soul Deep Episode 1 - Story Of Black Popular Music BBC Soul Deep - The Story of Black Popular Music -- The Gospel Highway BBC Soul Deep Episode 2 - Story Of Black Popular Music BBC Soul Deep - The Story of Black Popular Music - The Sound Of Young America BBC Soul Deep Episode 3 - Story Of Black Popular Music BBC Soul Deep - The Story of Black Popular Music - Southern Soul BBC Soul Deep Episode 4 - Story Of Black Popular Music BBC Soul Deep - The Story of Black Popular Music - Ain't It Funky BBC Soul Deep Episode 5 - Story Of Black Popular Music BBC Soul Deep - The Story of Black Popular Music - From Ghetto to Fabulous BBC Soul Deep Episode 6 - Story Of Black Popular Music

Arthur Brooks - Sad News RIP
Sad news reported in the forum by Soul Source member John Smith (Roburt) of the passing on of Arthur Brooks once of the Impressions (1958–1962). The forum thread and follow on comments can be read via this link - view forum thread A recent soul source article titled the Richard Brooks story was posted by Chalky in 2014 to accompany a Richard Brooks Soul Junction 45 release - view Richard Brooks story. This article covers both brothers recording history and does have a lot of info on both the brothers works. A preview follows below ... In 1957 the ‘Roosters’ who under Thomas’s advice changed their name to the perceived hipper sounding ‘Jerry Butler and The Impressions’ recorded the Richard Brooks penned “For Your Precious Love” which appeared on the Vee-Jay, Falcon and Abner labels. “For Your Precious Love” became a hit reaching #11 on the US pop charts and #3 on the R&B charts respectively. In the wake of the groups third Abner release ‘The Gift Of Love/At The County Fair’ (1023) Jerry Butler left the group to pursue a solo career being replaced by former Rooster Fred Cash the group then reverted to the name of just “The Impressions”. In 1959 following the release of ‘Lonely One/Senorita I Love You’ (Abner 1025) Vee-Jay decided to drop the ‘Impressions from their artist roster although they continued to release their material. In the same year The Impressions signed to another Chicago independent label, Bandera records. Where they recorded a solitary release ‘Listen/Shorty Got To Go’ (Bandera 2509) the line up on this release was Curtis Mayfield, Fred Cash, Richard & Arthur Brooks and Sam Gooden who sang lead vocals. A further solitary Impressions release although recorded in 1960 later appeared on the New York based Swirl label in 1961 ‘Don’t Leave Me/I Need Your Love’ (Swirl 107). Don’t Leave was a R&B screamer similar to The Isley Brothers ‘Shout’ while the flipside ‘I Need Your Love ‘ was an earlier version of a later Impressions ABC recording. The line up on this release consisted of Richard Brooks (who sang lead vocals), Arthur Brooks, Fred Cash and Sam Gooden. Curtis Mayfield at that time was touring as lead guitarist for Jerry Butler. Later in 1961 and reunited with Mayfield the Impressions signed for ABC Paramount scoring an immediate a R&B hit with “Gypsy Woman”. In 1963 following the Impressions sixth ABC release ‘Sad, Sad Girl And A Boy’ brothers Richard and Arthur Brooks left The Impressions due to a disagreement over Curtis Mayfield’s continued insistence on writing all the group’s material. Following their departure from the Impressions Richard and Arthur moved around several U.S towns with Arthur meeting his first wife Everlyn in Baltimore. They later pitched up in Detroit where their older brother Harrison and his family lived. Harrison, Arthur and Richard became involved with the tiny independent Card label, where their song writing and production credits can be found on the labels only two reputed releases. Richard and Arthur together with old Chattanoogan school friend Emanuel Thompson then embarked on a brief flirtation with the Motown label under the group name of the Showstoppers, a planned release ‘Old Time Loving/Little Girl You Had Your Chance’ was recorded but never released. Emanuel Thompson then chose to return home to Chattanooga with Richard and Arthur remaining in Detroit. The Brooks Brothers then signed to Taylor and Turners Detroit Sound Studios, where amongst other production projects they recorded the northern soul outing ‘Looking For A Woman/Two Great Lovers’ for the studios subsidiary label Tay (501). The line up on the Tay release featured the three brothers Richard, Arthur and Harrison as well as Harrison’s son, Harrison Jr (both Harrison’s are now sadly deceased). https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/artist-articles/the-richard-brooks-story-r2916/

Billy Sha-Rae - Sad News RIP
Jerry Zolten recently passed on the sad news to the site regarding Billy Sha-Rae passing on earlier this month. Jerry Z has posted a detailed entry on this sad news via a facebook page which can be read via the link below Preview clips follow below... A remembrance of BILLY SHA-RAE who passed away on November 5, 2015. In the 1960s Billy made his name performing R&B in the Pittsburgh area. I knew him as Billy Wilson from Uniontown, PA. In those days I was spinning records at record hops. Part way through the evening I would feature a live performance by a local artist. Billy Sha-Rae was one of them. Billy was tall, a smooth-voiced charmer, Sam Cooke handsome with lithe moves ala Jackie Wilson. The teen crowds loved him. Though he was older than me, we became friends, someone I could talk to about my crummy love life and my own farfetched aspirations to make music in some yet-to-be-defined way. Billy was a recording artist. He had cut a number of tracks for a local label – Bay-Uke Records out of Greensburg, PA. He gave me a handful of his 45-rpm singles and I would spin them over the sound system. He would sing along to them over a microphone. About a half an hour’s worth. That’s how it worked and we did quite a few record hops together over the years. *see photo of Billy singing, me barely visible behind the table in the background. “To Love and Be Loved” (Bay-Uke) ....I tried to reconnect with Billy Sha-Rae over the years but with no luck...until news of his passing reached me last week via Billy’s son Billee who lives in Detroit. Billy “Sha-Rae” Wilson was born in 1938. He left the music business for the Cayman Islands and there became a popular television and radio personality.
