KNOWLEDGEABLE AND DISCERNING DANCE FLOOR IN THE SOUL WORLD! |

|
4. SEEING CLEVELAND PARKER (AKA LEE MCDONALD) SUCCESSFULLY OPENING FOR
JERRY BUTLER AT NEW YORK CITY’S BEACON THEATRE. THE STORY AIN’T OVER
JUST YET - EXPECT TO HEAR MORE FROM CLEVELAND PARKER IN 2005. |
| |
|
5. NEW YORK DANCE CLUBS SUCH AS THE 718 SESSIONS AT DEEP, SHELTER AND
OTHERS FOR KEEPING THEIR DANCE HEADS SOULFUL WHILE ALL THOSE AROUND
THEM WERE LOSING THEIRS! |

8. THE INTERNET - FOR ALLOWING ME TO LISTEN TO UK SOUL RADIO (KEV
ROBERTS/RICHARD SEARLING & PETER YOUNG ARE ALL ESSENTIAL LISTENING),
TO BUY & SELL RECORDS ON EBAY AND THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION TO BE
FOUND ON THE NET SURROUNDING OBSCURE ARTISTS AND LONG LOST RECORD
LABELS. SOUL 24-7.COM R.I.P |
| |
|
9. SOUL PATROL - I DON’T ALWAYS AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS ON THERE
BUT I APPLAUD BOB & MIKE DAVIS FOR PROVIDING SUCH A GREAT PLATFORM TO
SHARE VIEWS AND INFORMATION ON ALL ASPECTS RELATING TO THE BLACK MUSIC
SCENE. |

THIS SITE AND OTHERS JUST WOULDN’T FUNCTION! |
