steve arrington.jpg Former Slave frontman Steve Arrington is working on a new Album. He teamed up with Stones Throw Records and Dam-Funk, and for this new FUNK album coming out in 2011.

Below is an advance mp3 of "I Be Trippin," a track that will be on his (yet unnamed) album. This track was just released in September, on a sampler by Stones Throw entitled "Clouds Over The Pacific,".  "I Be Trippin" will soon be released as a 12" on a vinyl. This sound is promising. Here's the first taste.

The track is taken from Mama’s Gun latest album ‘The Life And Soul’ which was released in the summer of 2011. The video for the single which sees the band and Beverley Knight perform the track live at Kensaltown Studios in London.

Levi Stubbs Four Tops

Levi Stubbs, the legendary lead singer of the Four Tops, and one of the greatest soul vocalists of all time, has died in Detroit after a long illness. Stubbs' death leaves only one remaining Tops founding member, Abdul "Duke" Fakir. As the distinctive lead of the Four Tops, Stubbs was best known for his deep, passionate vocal style that turned Holland-Dozier-Holland compositions like "Bernadette" and "Reach Out" and later, upon the group's move from Motown to ABC Records, on adult soul songs such as "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I Got)" and "Keeper of the Castle."

A heart attack and stroke permanently sidelined Stubbs a half decade ago, and he was wheelchair-bound as he took the stage for the group's 50th anniversary celebration in 2005. But Levi Stubbs will long be remembered as a staple of Motown's greatest years and as one of the most distinctive and revered vocalists of all time. He will be greatly missed.

“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.
I just upped about 200 covers of mostly 90s artists such as Keith Sweat, Shanice, Al B Sure, Sparkle, Keith Washington, Silk, Simple Pleasure, U.N.V, Troop, Tony, Toni, Toné, Karyn White, Eric Gable, Vesta, Tashan, Gary Taylor, Jeff Redd, Vertical Hold, Joe, Portrait etc

This afternoon I added around 1200 tracks in the database. Tracks from albums like Brass Construction, Brick, Chic, Mutiny, Chas, Delegation, Dayton, Cheryl Lynn, Starpoint and many more. I also upped about 30 samples.
