On Nov 16th, ESL Music presents the debut EP “Booty Lock” by Frank Mitchell Jr.! A mysterious rogue hailing from Washington DC, Frank Mitchell Jr. has a voice like honey and the sensibilities of a man that’d make Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield blush.Side A features the no-nonsense roller-skating disco jam “Booty Lock.”Rubbery bass, wah-wah guitars, and silky horns don’t even begin to describe the naughtiness within.The B side, in  this case “B” for “bad ass,” features “Body and Mind” another future soul classic.Just get a little closer and let the rhythm grab you by the hips and draw you in!
Produced by Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation

Here is a streaming  version! We'd love to work with you on premiering it, or anything you see fit if you enjoy the tunes. Feel free to post for stream on any of your sites!

“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.
Eugene Record of The Chi-Lites died on 22th of July. Eugene, a member of the Chi-Lites, was responisble for a lot of Chi-Lites hits like 'Oh Girl', 'Have You Seen Her'. Eugene Record also recorded two solo albums in the late seventies. The number 'Fan the Fire' is one of my favorites. After his solo career he returned to the Chi-Lites for recording more albums. Eugene died from cancer. He was 64. Eugene Record of The Chi-Lites died on 22th of July
