Sweet Soul Music – 10th February
A Talk by Nigel Holmes
This talk, with musical interludes, takes its title from Arthur Conley’s 1967 song of that name, where he pays homage to the blues and soul artists of that era; Lou Rawls, Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and James Brown. However, the story didn’t stop there; let’s not forget the likes of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and many more. In the UK, rare Tamla Motown records along with imported recordings from little known US artists, formed the basis of the Northern Soul movement. So, “if you like good music”, then we feel sure that you’ll enjoy this talk.
