DaPaul

The Originals & The Andantes Specials

Welcome to The Science of Soul and thank you to all the people who checked out the vintage interview specials with CP Spencer & Louvain Demps, the response as been overwhelming, so keep a lookout for more of these in the future. A list of Specials is on right of this page. On my show this week a sprinkling of DaPaul's new set titled "London Town." It's the follow up album from his "Soulful Spirit" project from a couple of years back. I can, and do, highly recommend both albums. I have selected 3 tracks there and I feel that really show the man's depth, not only as a performer, but also as a song writer, if you get a chance to catch his live shows, don't miss it because this guy is the real deal.

Veda & her late Father

Other new music this week comes from Veda Pickett, the daughter of Soul legend Wilson Pickett,  she decided to record her Fathers classic as a tribute to him and actually recorded it in the same studio that that he did, all those years ago! Also a new song to listen out for today are the beautiful new duet with Clif & Freda Payne, If you remember I featured some of Clif's solo work a few weeks ago, love his smooth tone.

Houston's favourite soul man Leroy Allen is back with a new single and new to me is the duo Von B & D L Wilson I'm loving their new release. Southern soul man Luther Lackey is back with new product, and I will be dipping into Frank McComb's current album. As always there's a bunch of Old Skool classics thrown-in because that's just how I do it here on The Science of Soul ... hit the play button sit back and enjoy.
