Robert Pruter

Listener: Robert Pruter

It's Science of Soul time once again, and this week I am very honored to have in the Listeners Choice* part of the show, the celebrated author Robert Pruter. I'm sure most of you will be aware of the excellent work Robert has done over the years as a columnists with Goldmine magazine and many other publications and his book "Chicago Soul" is widely regarded as THE book on all things soulful that came out of the Windy City. His music knowledge is amazing and he has picked songs that were recorded during that golden period of Chicago Soul, just know you will enjoy.

Talking of Chicago, last weekend at The Black Ensemble Theater saw the opening of: The Life Of Curtis Mayfield: "It's Alright Have A Good Time," and if any of you attended I would just love to hear your thoughts..... so get in touch and let me know. The lead roll is played by long time member of The Impressions, Reggie Torian, I hope at some point a movie will follow, as you know I'm a big Curtis fan so this is of real interest to me. If your new to S-O-S checkout my interview with Curtis Mayfield III, that's Mayfield's son, he chats with me about growing up as the eldest sibling of a music icon and the legacy his father left, you'll find the link on the side this page.

Due to the fact I am always trying cram as much music into each show as possible I haven't included my regular Featured Artist spot this week, but don't worry there's still lots of new music included and most of that I've been wanting to play for weeks! The 'feature' will return next week. That's enough from me, sit back enjoy the music and please remember to hit the Facebook like button if you enjoy, it helps with our promotion and please feel free to share the Science of Soul link.
