LAST TUESDAY EVENING I WAS AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL WITH BROTHER LOU TO SEE JAZZY B IN CONVERSATION WITH COLEEN MURPHY- PART OF THE ‘SUMMER OF LOVE’ SERIES ENTITLED ‘REVOLUTIONARY SOUL & SKA’. AS YOU’D EXPECT (A GREAT SOUND SYSTEM) & SOME GREAT CHOICES- FROM SAM COOKE ALL THE WAY THRU TO FRED LOCKS, INCLUDING AN EDDIE HAZEL TUNE I’D NOT HEARD BEFORE. SO, FOLKS, INSPIRED BY THE EVENING I THOUGHT WE’D CONTINUE WITH OUR ‘SOULED’ SERIES? STARTING WITH THE SAME OPENING TRACK FROM SAID EVENING- ALTHOUGH HERE WE HAVE MR REDDING’S VERSION OF THE SAM COOKE CLASSIC-A CHANGE IS GONNA COME. & COMIN FULL CIRCLE (KIND OF?), WE FINISH WITH THE O.V WRIGHT CLASSIC (ALSO RECORDED BY MR REDDING) STUDIO ONE STYLE.
