Soul sunday

This series is dedicated to spreading the gospel of soul music across the blogosphere. Old school to new school, Marvin to Maxwell, Motown to Memphis, Amy to Aretha and back. I’ve got a growing list of guest-bloggers lined up. Holla back if you want to wax poetic about a track you find particularly soulful. The genre or style is secondary; house, dub, hip hop, whatever. Just as long as it’s soulful.
