Phil Perry

It's Science of Soul time once again, thanks to all our Facebook friends for keeping in touch (remember to click 'like' button), I have decided to expand the page a little. If you have looked this week you will see lots of music as been added plus links to TV shows etc., that will be of interest to us soul folk. Check the Johnnie Taylor documentary shown on American TV some time ago, It's a fascinating look at the life of J.T. and the turmoil caused by his sudden death. I won't say to much about it I leave you to come to your own conclusions.

This weeks featured artist needs no introduction as he as been making great music forever, that's Phil Perry. His new album "Say Yes" hit the streets tlast week. Now I know I'm biased because I love everything Phil does, but the album was all I expected plus more...I could do a whole show on Phil (in fact i just might maybe as a Podcast special) but for this week we will play three tracks from the album. More will follow over the weeks as I'm sure you will enjoy this album for years to come. As with all of Phil's work it just gets better with time...class and style always out last trends. My thanks to Mrs Lillian Perry for all of her help with this, please check out Phil's links.

It was great to hear from my good friend Lee McDonald (the Silkysoul Man) and his Moulton Record Company out of Houston Texas because they are about to release a hot new single from Leroy Allen. You might remember we featured them some months aback. The new single is a great remake of The Dazz Band's "Gamble With Our Love," listen out for it on this weeks show I am sure you will approve.

Gorman's solo album
An occasional feature we are adding to the show is 'Revisited Album.' Sometimes an album slips out with very little fan-fare and gets missed. I also miss things so please feel free to remind me, sharing our knowledge is very important. It can be a recent album or something from back-in-the-day, your suggestions are most welcome. Our first revisit is Freddie Gorman's 1997 masterpiece It's All About Love mainly written and produced by his very talented son Dhillon Gorman, I'll feature two tracks from this set. Freddie was a beautiful spirit and this album captures not just his amazing voice but gives you a glimpse into his very soul, his strong faith, tender is a word not often used but take a listen to: My Love and you will understand the true meaning of it, yes soul at it's very best.

Thanks for all the support and great feed back we continue to receive.....sit back enjoy the music.
