Event: Leamington Soul Club Night Review: 5 stars by Mod Life Crisis. Event Date: 31 Jan 2025 This was our first visit to this Club; it will not be our last. Before we had even entered the building we received a warm welcome from one of the regulars, a theme that continued throughout the night. When entering the room, the bar is directly in front of you, well away from the dance floor and the opposite end from the decks. There is ample seating in the bar area and all along both sides of the dance floor. The floor itself is very good to dance on ... Tap to view the full event review -
try https://charlydirect.com/products/gsf-free-soul Need to click on 'read more' for the info below to show in full Rare Seventies Big City Street Soul In 1971, film producer David Gil and his business partners Robert S Sinn and Paul Frankenberg launched a film company called GSF. Over the next few years, it would be involved in a small number of productions. But, in 1971 the movie business was kind of old-hat, music was where it was at, and so GSF Records, a well-funded label, headed by Larry Newton was formed. Today Newton is largely remembered for his attempts to prevent Louis Armstrong from recording 'What A Wonderful World' but that didn’t stop him from growing ABC from a second division company to an industry leader. As he approached his 52nd birthday he was unveiled as GSF Records’ president a full-service music company, involved in records and publishing across all genres. Through a joint venture with drummer Bernard Purdie the label targeted the R&B charts and soul & funk dominated GSF's release schedule. Black music ruled and this was reinforced by the hiring of Lloyd Price as head of A&R (veteran R&B star), and producers George Kerr (All-Platinum), Mickey Stevenson (Motown) and Jerry 'Swamp Dogg’ Williams. No wonder then, unintentional as it was, that GSF left behind such an extraordinary legacy of rare soul treasures.

James Holvay - Working Man EP - Review By Bill Buckley Review of James Holvay ‘Working Man’ EP by Bill Buckley View full article
-
Intro Bill Buckley from Souljazzandfunk.com recently got in touch with us regarding a recent (Nov 2024) Ep release from James Hovay, that he thought deserved exposure. You can read Bill's review further below Long time readers may be familar with James recent 2022 releases, this time around the five track EP does take a similar path and would say that the description 'the soundscape is the classic sound of 60s Chicago' is a most valid take. Review, details and video clips follow below James Holvay – Working Man Label: MOB Town Records – MTR 003 1 Working Man 2:41 2 Don't Take Your Love 3:13 3 Bring It 3:10 4 Love That Lady 2:34 5 Grace Of Your Love 04:25 Format wise, the EP can be found on most of the major streamers, a while a cd is mentioned am currently trying to track down purchase details if any, anyone know? Video Track - Love That Lady Review of ‘Working Man’ by Bill Buckley Chicago-born JAMES “SOUL” HOLVAY is a veteran singer, songwriter and guitarist. His biggest success as a writer was ‘Kind Of A Drag’ – a US pop no. 1 hit for the Buckinghams but he also led his own band, the Mob. They gigged hard through the late 60s and 70s playing their take on soul but as musical tastes changed the band split up and James turned away from the music business. A career in sales followed but back in 2020 Mr. H decided to make a musical comeback. He’d been listening to plenty of young, new artists and bands delivering their take on classic, retro soul so he decided he’d join them. The thinking being that if these youthful artists could do it, then why couldn’t someone who was there in the golden age of soul do it too! Thus in 2021 he started to release new music – but a very special new music. He released an EP called ‘Sweet Soul Song’ which channelled the classic Chicago soul sound that he’d grown up with – the sound of Curtis Mayfield, Major Lance, Gene Chandler and Johnny Pate. Indeed when James played the demo tapes to Pate, the veteran arranger/producer was amazed that James and his musicians had managed to recreate so successfully the sounds of 60s Windy City Soul. The EP made James Holvay something of a cult figure amongst 60s Chicago soul collectors and they’ll be delighted to know that our man has just released a brand new five track EP, ‘Working Man’. Again, the soundscape is the classic sound of 60s Chicago. The songs, four written by James, could’ve come from the Curtis Mayfield catalogue while the productions and arrangements are true to the craft of Johnny Pate. The EP begins with the title track -a strident workout maybe more redolent of Mayfield’s solo work. That’s followed by ‘Don’t Take Your Love’ which sounds like a long lost Curtom artefact. Next up is another strident cut, ‘Bring It’ – big and brash. The fourth cut Is the mini album’s standout – a gorgeous, feel-good ‘Love That Lady’ – a tune that embodies all that was good about 60s Chicago soul! The EP is rounded off with a lush balled ‘The Grace Of Your Love’ which even incorporates dear Curtis’ ‘Need To Belong’ in the fade out. This one was penned by Al Ciner. This ‘Working Man’ EP is quality retro soul and it’s good to go now via your preferred streaming/download platform. You can learn more @ https://jamesholvay.com/ while you may want to check our 2021 interview with the man – https://www.soulandjazzandfunk.com/interviews/sweet-chicago-soul-the-james-holvay-interview/ .

Event: 45 Revolutions Review: 5 stars by Geoff. Event Date: 24 Jan 2025 It was a relief to arrive at the Sudden Social Club for 45 Revolutions last Friday, wed had a miserable journey that took ages and was very cold, but the music at the club made it all worthwhile. In addition to Alan Massey and Tony Poff, the guest DJs were Dereck Higham and John Baggaley. As usual there were some great tunes played, some I knew but plenty new to me, just what I like. In addition to Northern, Crossover and Modern a couple of ska ... Tap to view the full event review
