“The Luther Vandross Memorial Special” in de SoulShow

Aankomende zaterdag 9 juli is er een Luther Vandross special in de Soulshow op Radio Veronica. Ferry Maat laat je tussen 18:00 en 20:00 uur nummers horen uit het hele oeuvre van deze karakteristieke soulzanger/ songwriter/ producer die vorige week vrijdag op 54 jarige leeftijd overleed.

De in New York City geboren Luther Ronzoni Vandross verkocht wereldwijd meer dan 30 miljoen platen, won maar liefst 8 Grammy Awards en kreeg talloze onderscheidingen zoals de Soul Train- en American Music Award. Zijn carrière startte in 1972 toen hij een liedje schreef voor de Broadway musical ‘The Wizzard of Oz’; dat was het nummer ‘Everybody Rejoice’ later omgedoopt tot ‘A Brandnew Day’ en natuurlijk beroemd geworden in de uitvoering van onder anderen Diana Ross en Michael Jackson. Zijn doorbraak als zanger beleefde hij vreemd genoeg in het achtergrondkoortje van David Bowie. Al snel werd hij een veelgevraagd achtergrondzanger en arrangeur en werkte hij voor toppers als Bette Midler en Barbra Streisand. Luther verdiende verder zijn geld met het zingen van commercials en hij was één van de meest gevraagde jinglezangers van die tijd. Zijn debuut solo-album ‘Never Too Much’ bereikte in 1981 onmiddellijk de top van de R&B charts en verkocht meer dan één miljoen exemplaren. Luther schreef en produceerde platen voor talloze artiesten waaronder zijn drie grootste jeugdidolen: Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick en Aretha Franklin. Met Aretha maakte hij zelfs twee albums.

Ferry Maat is met zijn radioprogramma 'Soulshow' iedere zaterdag van 18:00 - 20.00 te beluisteren bij Radio Veronica. Radio Veronica is met de beste 80's & 90's hits in heel Nederland via de ether en kabel te ontvangen.

Radio Veronica is onderdeel van de Sky Radio Group.

George Duke Passed Away At Age 67I just came back from my yearly holiday and read very sad news that my all time hero George Duke has passed away at age 67. Duke reportedly had been battling Lukemia. This is a great loss for all the fans out there. May George Duke rest in peace.
MOTOWN SINGLES series: VOL. 11

The Complete Motown Singles Vol. 11A: 1971 covers just the first six months of the year, when America was facing a decade of reconstruction- the optimism of the sixties had been shattered by escalation of the Vietnam War and political instability.

And Marvin Gaye asked, "What's Going On?" Motown, too, was undergoing its own reconstruction, taking small steps toward album projects, and a world beyond Detroit. Stevie Wonder turned 21. The Jackson 5 continued their hot streak, as did Rare Earth and Gladys Knight & the Pips. Norman Whitfield created the Undisputed Truth. Eddie Kendricks left the Temptations to go solo-but Diana Ross was the emerging solo star. All of their hits (and B-sides) from the first half of 1971 are here in this awesome set, plus fascinating company experiments with "religious rock,"

 CD set will be available from 18th of november  Pre-Order this set on Amazon.comir?t=theultimatebl-20&l=ur2&o=1
