WELCOME TO STARPOINT RADIO

(March 1, 2021) He was the lead singer and keyboardist of one of the big R&B bands of the 80s, with his three brothers and a funky sound that was a hit on radio. And later in life he became an advocate for many of the neediest of society. Today we are sad to report the death of George Phillips, Jr. of the group Starpoint.

(March 1, 2021) When we recently reintroduced singer and songwriter Bradd Marquis to SoulTrackers, we called him the counter to the perception out there that “there aren’t true soul singers out there anymore, just rappers and high-voiced kids.” As he showed with his two song preview earlier this year, he is a singer of substance, both lyrically and musically.

There is so much goodness going on with "Kiss of Freedom," it is tough for us to contain our enthusiasm. First of all, we always look forward to any song that includes singer supreme and SoulTracks Readers' Choice Award winner Cleveland P. Jones. And when he is singing a song from fellow winner James Day (under the name JD's Time Machine), you know something special is in store. And finally, an all-star band including U-Nam, AgapeSoul and Makalani moves this into "must listen" territory.

(February 28, 2021) It’s been forty five years since the Miami-based Raw Soul Express recorded their debut album for the famed T.K. Records. Although the band didn’t become a household name like their fellow label mates KC & the Sunshine Band and George McCrae, the band’s roster has weathered the test of time and remains unchanged with multi-instrumentalist Rick Washington, keyboardist Chris Perkins, guitarist Tommy Johnson, saxophonist John McMinn and bassist Albie Manno still on board.

(February 27, 2021) Over the past half decade or so, we’ve seen the steady emergence of certified 'soul brothers' Woody and Minquel Ingram, aka Ingram Street. The Columbus, Ohio siblings grew up digging the sounds of 80s R&B, and they have won over fans around the world for their incorporation of classic soul vibes into their 21^st century music.

They are legends two times over, and a model for longevity in an industry where that comes at a premium. And we are extremely happy to welcome back the great Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis , to SoulTracks.

(February 26, 2021) You may remember him as a semifinalist in season sixteen of the US version of The Voice, and now Houston native Shawn Sounds is a vocalist ready to break forward with his solo career. With that in mind and February being a month of love, Shawn is ready to share his vision and insight on it with the release of his debut single, "Sunshine."

(February 26, 2021) It is gospel truth to say that Binky Womack learned from the best. His surname is testament to that fact. The accomplishments of his father and uncles are too numerous to list, but the Womack family contributed much to gospel and soul music. Those accomplishments could have easily intimidated Binky Womack, and he could have wilted under the pressure. Yet, Binky Womack has embraced the family trade and made his own contribution to the Womack family legacy.

(February 25, 2021) If you’ve been a SoulTracker for awhile, you’ve no doubt heard the music of Terisa Griffin. The talented Chicago singer and songwriter has won over fans among our readers over the past decade and a half for her keen sense of melody, her appreciation of timeless glamor, and, most of all, for that voice – a classic instrument that would have won over soul or jazz music fans of any era.
