It's a commercial radio station that relies on advertising for its very existence,the days of specialist programmes going to air are long gone,expect classic tracks with ads aimed at fifty year olds and over.For truly forward thinking formats the arena for that is podcasts.
Spent the whole year enthusing about 60's & 70's black music which,more or less is the aim every year.Lost several people dear to me which has become par for the course,but we move on,trying to pull things out of that bottomless pit of soul.
"Tell your friend its over",fabulous track,similar backing to Gene Redding"I need your loving"a real hidden gem.Could have been recorded at the same session as"room full of tears"its of the same quality.Definately worth a look.
Not sure I agree with cover ups these days,if its rare then play it as a rare sound,no need to deny the artist badly needed exposure..maybe its just me?
Lots of interest in the soul survivors at the moment,the Vontastics sounding nothing like a cheapie...not that I'm on commission you understand..am I ?
"I was born with music inside me,music was one of my parts,like my ribs,kidneys,liver,heart.It was a force already inside me when I arrived on the scene,it was a necessity for me,like food or water"..Ray Charles.
