Last year Drew Schultz put out the "Back To Class" CD that benefited the public school music programs in Detroit with The Four Tops and a ton of other old-school Motown artists as featured guests. This music project, which he just starting to continue:
Last Sunday, September 1st, he released the follow up single featuring Eddie Willis, original guitarist of Motown's studio recording band, The Funk Brothers. Eddie is the guitarist on almost every Detroit-era Motown hit by folks like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, The Contours, Mary Wells, Junior Walker & The All Stars, Edwin Starr, and many more. As with the original CD, 50% of the profits will go to benefit the music programs at the Detroit Public Schools. This is the first in a line of singles, and Drew has plans on starting to branch the project out to other cities as well.

| Independent Soul Divas 2 is slicker, smoother, jazzier and a lot more soulful than the previous one. There's the welcome return for Adina Howard. Adina debuts for Lola Waxx with ‘What Do I Do', showing us a more versatile, serious and soulful dimension to her. The groove is a 21st Century Brand New Heavies influenced concoction but the vocals are Adina Howard all over. Exclusive only to this album, ‘What Do I Do' will gain new territory for the lady whilst is sure to surprise and please her existing fans. LeNora Jaye chips in with her timely ‘Times Are hard’, which tackles the current global recession and the financial uncertainty facing many people at this time. Who could have thought that the economic meltdown could be made to sound so soulful? |

| ndependent Soul Divas 2 also features brand new singles by Lea Lorien, Rena Scott, Maya Neiada, Kelli Sae, Razzberry, D'Cheri and Lori Jenaire. Then there's Sy Smith, Rachel Brown, Melissa Young, Lina, Tracy Cruz and Kendra Ross. And if that isn't enough, Aura Jackson's anthemic ‘Walk After U' (also known as ‘Tingle in My Toes'), gets a well-deserved UK outing at last. You'll find 16 killer cuts (with 10 new songs!) and no fillers. No need to press the skip button on this one. This is undoubtedly the compilation set of 2009. |

DC-based hip-hop/R&B/rock fusion group CSJQ (www.csjqmusic.com). The duo, comprised of multi-talented musicians Clayton Savage and JayQuan have released a four-track EP, The Life. Their Hollywood Music In Media award (HMMA) nominated single, “F.U.N” is an infectious, provocative bass driven nod to old-school hip-hop and R&B. Prior to joining musical forces in 2006, both artists worked with hip-hop pioneer Melle Mel (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five). Savage, a member of the Furious 5, also released a self-titled album where his hit single “Palm of Her Hand” became the theme music for BET’s ‘Video Soul.’ JayQuan’s rich musical history includes working with Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz. In addition, he is the creator and webmaster of The Foundation, a website dedicated to chronicling the history of hip-hop.
| Soul music lost a great legend on January 5th. Willie Mitchell was responsible for the music of Al Green and the entire sound of Memphis based record label Hi-Records. Poppa Willie passed away at age 81 and leaves a tremendous catalog of classics behind. Dutch music collector Djef, who manages the Originals section at online jukebox 22tracks, selected 22 gems as an ode to him and his legacy. |

| Mitchell produced sparkling jewels like Al Green's Let's Stay Together and diamonds in the rough such as Could I Be Falling In Love by the more obscure Syl Johnson. Rather than having a hard time keeping up with the pace of music, the distinguished sound he once wrote the blueprint for remains timeless. Do You Feel Me by Anthony Hamilton, produced by The Bomb Squad's Hank Shocklee and arranged by Willie Mitchell is a perfect example of how the sound of Hi-Records is still very much sought-after in today's music. | |
