Welcome to this weeks Science of Soul, my apologizes if you tried to reach me in the Studio during the Show but occasionally I have to pre-record the odd one, due to other commitments, on this occasion it's the Northern Soul Survivors Weekend in Skegness, so I am sure you will forgive me. There's a great line up of classic soul acts including; The Contours, The Velvelettes, Kim Weston and Prince Phillip Mitchell, so I could not miss this one.

RIP - Ben Causey

I am saving the new music for the next live show but could not resist playing the new single from Angie Stone...she is sounding great I cant wait for the album.

Sad news this week is that founding member of the legendary Bar Kays' Ben Cauley has passed away aged 67, Ben was the sole survivor of the plane crash that took the life of Otis Redding and four of the other Bar-Kays members at that time, he continued to keep the soul flag flying .. he will be missed.

Detroit is in bankruptcy, but once upon a time, Detroit was the heart of the American Dream. Good jobs, big cars, and the world's most profitable companies placed the city at the heart of the global economy. But as this empire of cars began to crumble and the jobs evaporated, Detroit became the crime capital of America, and a new business, illegal drugs, took over the economy. Now the city lies in shambles: Detroit is the poorest and most violent major city in America. The heart of the American Dream has been shattered. From corrupt narcotics cop Henry Marzett to the infamous Young Boys Inc, White Boy Rick, and the Best Friends Murder for Hire gang: see the Kingpins and Killers that called Detroit home and became the Henry Fords and Lee Iacoccas of a new generation. What happens when the Ceo's and Politicians fail in their plans? It's called DETROIT.
