Independent Soul Divas 2 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.

“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.
Willie Mitchel Passed Away 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.

Please let me introduce you the next album of WILLIAM KENSINGTON "FUNKOLOGY"
features few rappers such as :
WARREN G
AFRIKA BAMBAATAA
KOOL G RAP
DILATED PEOPLES
BLAQ POET

And funky legends such as :
OLIVER CHEATHAM
MELBA MOORE
D-TRAIN
GWEN McCRAE
MARTHA HIGH
KEITH RODGERS (BREAK MACHINE)
