Ronald Isley

Midnight GMT+1 on Tuesday

It's been a busy week here at the Science of Soul! In addition to the regular show this week I have a bonus edition that will be published on Wednesday. It's project I've been planning for a few weeks with Curtis Mayfield III, he granted me a very rare interview to talk about his life as the son of a music icon and the legacy that  his Father left. A program packed with wonderful music with a very intimate glimpse into the life of a legend....Don't miss that! More at Facebook Event Page It'll be on my own website only for now! www.thescienceofsoul.com

On today's show I'll be featuring Ronald Isley's new project This Song Is For You. This album sounds better and better the more you hear it - It's unlikely to win him any new fans, but he is over 70-years-old now! and the style is so unique to him, what we expect and everything we love about this Soul legend plus great new songs performed as only Ronnie can. Check HuffPost interview at bottom of page.

I'm sure you remember the Floaters from back in the day - well this might surprise you my Gospel Spot this week is none other than "Hi, my name is Larry" from the classic "Float On" smash Mr Larry Cunningham who now performs Gospel music and is his current release! Other new music this week includes: Chante Moore and Southern Soul lady Ms Robin Moet, another fine Detroiter: Mike Shockley who's track "Lets Dance" has been played before on the program but I just want to remind you just how good it is!

Temptations feat: Dawn

The Listeners Choice this week comes from Dawn Randle*, and you can see from Dawn's choices, that she is a big Temptations fan. Dawn and myself spent over 30 years together - a time where many wonderful memories were made, -  she'll always remain a special part of my life, our times with The Temptations past and present are treasures that we both share. There has been a lot of changes in the Groups line-up over that time but the memories will never change.

Sad to see this week the passing of yet another legend Mr George Duke, George was one of those guys who could cross in all genre's of music and be accepted and successful and his place in music history is secure - be at peace Mr Duke and thanks for all the amazing music..

Finally on with the music and as always be sure to tick the  Facebook  'Like,' if you enjoy, and if have not already done so and please share my link.
