Happy New year friends,disciples and music-lovers......may 2015 bring you health and happiness .
Last Sunday,January 11th,I was 59 years old...that means I've been a SOUL man for 50 years ...and I'm so grateful I am ...SOUL is one of the most important things in my life..
The most important people : my beautiful sons, Jamie 23 and Callum 21..a Dad could not have finer sons.
A lifelong love-affair : Southampton Football Club
A Love Supreme : SOUL music.....words can't express what SOUL music means to me.....
So I'm in my 60th year and tho I despair at a lot of the new " music " I hear I have not given up hope that SOUL will thrive and grow stronger
I worked in major labels for over 20 years signing innovative,influential artists ...Soul II Soul,Inner City,LeftField,Maxi Priest,Loose Ends,Mantronix,Working Week, Pressure Drop,DJ Rap etc......
SOUL is an ATTITUDE..it means creating music from the heart..music that moves,inspires and improves our lives.......
SOUL is not just SOUL music...I'm a big fan of a lot of the new folk/SOUL I'm hearing....NOT that crap from Mumford & Sons etc but First Aid Kit,Louise Connell, Steve Mason.....if you could introduce me to new artists I'm not aware of please do via twitter @TheSoulGuru or via my Facebook page......
I write thisblog because ever since I started working for SOUL legend Tony Monson in 1975 SOUL has been a constant in my life and I hope that my enthusiasm and passion will inspire you to seek out and enjoy SOUL....not just the music but the attitude
I'm reluctant to come across as sad old guy looking backwards.....I'm not at all...I'm an enthusiastic,passionate,knowledgeable guy looking FORWARD.....I've got lots of silver,gold and platinum discs as I signed so many great artists...they're nice to look at but it was a long time ago.....I live in the present NOT the past....
Next week I'm going to post 6 new artists that you may not have heard that I hope you'll enjoy....meanwhile enjoy Rag "N"Bone Man....he epitomises SOUL
The Soul Guru loves YOU
