Ty Juan

Thanks for visiting The Science of Soul this week. Featured Artist this week is Atlanta based Ty Juan and his new album called "Signature," think it's pretty special showing well crafted songs just dripping in soul. You'll will be hearing a lot about this album I feel sure. I have new music from The Dazz Band's Stan Edward Moore which is being well received on both sides of the Atlantic. I'm also gonna give you a little peek into the forthcoming album from Roy Roberts that I think you might like (thanks to Dave Welding @ Soul Junction Records for this.) He is essentially a Blues man, this will appeal to Soul folks as well, more information on the album as and when I get it.

Andy Stokes has just released his "Full Circle" EP, and the man from Portland, Oregon, is sounding pretty smooth, I'm thinking the standout track for me is "Lets Have A Good Time." I am going dip into the Motown vaults for a moment to bring to you Ivy Jo Hunter's version of the Spinners classic "Truly Yours." It's just one of  'the' Motown Classics that he wrote. His contribution to the 'The Sound of Young America' was immense. 10 years this week since we lost Gerald Levert, a documentary is  included below in remembrance. OK it's music time hit the play button and enjoy. Please remember to tell a friend about the Science of Soul..
