It's more commonly known as Neo SOUL or nu-SOUL classics (but to me there is nothing new about soul) I'll be posting Music Videos of artists like D'angelo, Bilal, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, and Musiq Soulchild to name a few, with a mix of HipHop, RnB Funk, Blues, Jazz, Soul Music plus other related bits and pieces thrown in for good measure. I do hope you ENJOY what you HEAR & SEE if you do please let me know but more importantly spread the word GOOD music is here. ENJOY!

Marvin Gaye ''What's Going On' and the Last Days of the Motown Sound'' / MOJO Heroes''
Arguably the greatest soul album ever made, "What's Going On" established Motown star Marvin Gaye as a unique and maverick musical talent, whose determination and vision resulted not only in inspirational, pioneering grooves but, in the era of Vietnam and Civil Rights protests, an album that challenged America to take a long hard look at itself. In this book, the author examines in detail the making of this legendary work - initially rejected by Motown's quality control department - interviewing many of the artists and record company employees closest to the singer, to arrive at a deeper understanding of what the album means.
ENJOY!
