The Ultimate Black Music Database is now online for one year. I started this database with 1100 artists, 2500 albums, and 7000 tracks. This amount is more than doubled. The amount of covers, samples is also increased and the updates will be still on regular basis. I just recently introduced the members/appear on list.

It was a year with ups and downs. The downs with the deadth of our favorit artists, Ernesto McKenzie Phillips (starpoint), John Whitehead, Ray Charles, Syreeta, Rick James, Tyrone Davis, and Rennee Diggs.

The ups with the new albums of 70s/80s artists like The O' Jays, {safm}Brenda Russell{/safm}, Teena Marie, Michael Cooper, Stephanie Mills, Anita Baker, Will Downing, Al green. And a Soul & Funk music stream for this site.

For me it is exactly the right moment to change the layout for this site. From now on it will be called The Ultimate Soul And Funk Music Database. Many Thanx to Remco for spending hours behind his favorit PS app. The URL is also changed to https://www.soulandfunkmusic.com. The old URL will be still available.
I hope you like it, Mark

A message from Jessie who's a friend of the daughter of Dick Griffey: I am bearing some sad news. Dick Griffey father of my friend Carolyn Griffey has passed away  this morning.  He was the CEO of Solar Records (Sound Of Los Angeles Records), manager and producer who brought us Shalamar, The Whispers, Lakeside, Dynasty, Midnight Starr etc. It would be nice if you give him a mention on your radio shows and play some of the songs from the groups he created on the Solar Record Label.Those of you with publications lets write up and remember that he was to the disco funk era, to what Berry Gordy was to cross over soul. He was a music pioner who should be remembered on this day.
