1st Blog Anniversary

The wealth of quality Soul music is endless and I strongly believe that MUSIC is the most precious invention of humankind.

Today I celebrate this special occasion with something…….different. I have uploaded for your listening pleasure an X-Rated Soulful House 12inch rarity. Add some kinky excitement to your musical horizons!!!

GROVER WASHINGTON JR. feat. SPENCER HARRISON - "Monte Carlo nights" (1987)

This is my little tribute to Spencer Harrison. He was one of the most promising new singers emerging in the late 80s. He passed away quite unexpectedly in 1994 at the young age of 32. For more info about Spencer, visit the following link: http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Spencer%20Harrison.html

The track I’ve chosen in his honor, is a classy collaboration with the late sax legend Grover Washington Jr. showcasing his amazing vocal talents. Taken from Grover’s 1987 LP “Strawberry moon” released on Columbia Records.
