FAMILIA SOULDIEZ VOLUME 16 - STREET LAMP SERENADES

For me, Memorial Day is a day to remember loved ones we have lost. On May 15,2014 I lost my brother Rudolph Raymond Aversa so I am dedicating this volume to Rudy.

Though my heart is sad I know that my brother would want me to carry as if he were still here because he is still here in spirit. I have added three songs to the end of this volume in his memory.

A special thanks to all of the members of the KREW who helped make this volume possible. God Bless You All and God Bless My Brother Rudy.

GET SOUL - Old School Soul Sampler

It doesn't matter whether you call it "Soul Music", "Old School" or "Urban" (a title I never could figure out) - To me, it's all related to Gospel & Blues and, as such remains a true black american art form. Throughout the years it has been synthesized, homogenized, proselytized, criticized, idolized, & analyzed. It's also been widely imitated -- without it, there would've been no Elvis & there would be no Rolling Stones & countless other bands who've felt it's influence. It has brought people of all races & religions together in song & dance, serving as a universal antidote for bigotry & ignorance - indeed a lofty achievement for an art form.

As you can see, this compilation was intended for DJ's/radio stations, etc. & was not for sale.

~ GET SOUL ! ~

Red Hot Souldies - Chapter Two - Keep Your Hands Off My Ruca

Those blood-letting cuts took a while to heal; unfortunately, a few drops of the sticky red stuff fell on Mello's keyboard and that sure ain't good for a computer ! So our Chicago brother, a techno-freak, had to sit this session out. But true to familia form, into the breach stepped our Doo-Wop sibling Chi-Town to stretch his imagination beyond the Fifties to bring you some of his soulful favorites. What a strong familia we have - we even have a Chicago special teams subs bench ! Our gratitude to Chi-Town for ensuring that we're right on schedule for our 3-monthly outing of Red Hot Souldies ! Is it a coincidence that it's Christmas Eve ? "Ho, ho, ho !", of course not ! Santa's suit is blood-red too - don't you know he's one of the brothers ?!? All that remains is to wish you a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year from all our krew. Enjoy the tunes - they're special ! RossyBoy

THE FOUR MINTS gently down your stream



This Friday's treat exists thanks to Rob & Ken..They are better known the world over as the Numero Group here in Chi-Town, and do a fantastic job of getting rare & collectable tracks from master tapes to CD & vinyl.

Here is some info they have provided: In 1973, Columbus, Ohio's Capsoul label issued it's one & only LP before limping out of business one year later. Though it is twelve inches in diameter & spins at 33 RPM, "Gently Down Your Stream" is no more an album than "Meet The Supremes"; rather, it's a compilation of five singles & one brilliant song saved from the cutting room floor. It was the Four Mints' entire commercially released output.

FAMILIA SOULDIEZ VOLUME 11 - LOVE IS FOR FOOLS

Just in time to open the holiday season, the krew of Familia Souldiez have come together and share another set of awesome tracks.

What makes this series so unique is that the collaborators are from the four corners of this country and abroad with diverse musical tastes and a great thirst & knowledge when it comes to the genre of soul.

Familia Souldiez Volume 11 entitled "Love Is For Fools" takes soul through all of it's paces - Northern Soul, Sweet Soul, Funk & Group Harmony. As with previous volumes in this series, the krew has come up with a set of tunes worthy of any major release.

Many thanks go out to RossyBoy for passing me the baton and allowing me to head-up this project and to GMAN for providing the inspiration and the dynamite cover.

Special thanks to Mello, DustyRose, MzO, BillyMac, Chi-Town & BrownBoy for their contributions & taking the time out of their busy lives to make this happen.

BillyMac & RossyBoy's A Bridge Too Far

It's been a few years too many since my Philly buddy BillyMac and I did one of these "BRIDGE" compilations together. This particular bridge is just about 2500 miles away from Billy, but close to my own heart and roots. It's the Forth Railway Bridge near Edinburgh, Scotland. In Victorian times when it was newly-built it was regarded as one of the Wonders of The Modern World ! Now it's your turn to wonder at BillyMac's great tune selection - an unparalleled collection of rarities and obscurities. I hope I've brought a few nice ones to the table too. Billy is a busy boy, so if you like what you hear let us know so that he can be persuaded to part with more pearls from his treasure chest ! RossyBoy

Track list:

01 - The Traditions - Sad Girl (BillyMac)

Barclay, 1967?

02 - The Natural Four - Hurt (RossyBoy)

ABC, 1970

03 - Little Pete & The Youngsters - You Told Me Lies (BillyMac)

SOUL - Accent On The 70's Vol. 1

This is my start to a new series that will be at least five volumes. Rossy surely has captured a sense of the 70's on canvas for my cover & an excellent job at that my brother ! All tracks featured will have charted in the top one hundred according to the "Billboard" ratings.Most will be from the top of the charts & they will all be remastered versions & come from my crates. I always attempt to include an uncommon track or two that's not heard on the air waves. With that in mind, I hope there's something new that you like on this & the future comps in this series. A number of them you may not have heard in some time and/or some not at all. Well, now's your chance to go back to the 70's & enjoy some tunes of the era !
