Before the new craze, there were artists like Ray Charles (“Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music”), Lionel Richie/The Commodores (“Easy,” “Sail On”), Charlie Pride, and The War and Treaty, who released their fifth album in 2025. The Soul Show features “Plus One” this week. We’ll also sample a new live Alicia Olatuja/Sean Jones release, in which they honor 70s/80s R&B star Angela Bofill. Of course, there will be some original Bofill as well.
Host Mike Canton takes you back to the Sixties, and recounts Otis Redding’s last performance, supplemented by archival materials and interviews at his SOULSHOWMIKE.ORG website.
… and there’s the usual, expected cornucopia across decades and styles of soul. Enjoy.
