www.soul-patrol.com has just announced its Top 5 New Artists for 2003 and its Top 20 New Releases for 2003 and guess what?
WHAT?
I was one of only 3 artists who made it into both lists.
In the Top 20 there are names like Marvin Gaye, Marcus Miller, Tower of Power, Barry White, The Temptations
…and then there in good ol’ Lou from Sydney, NSW!
All jokes aside, I am so proud to be included in this list.
www.soul-patrol.com is an information, news gathering and educational series of internet resources focused on covering black music and culture of the last 50 years and is the largest black-owned internet site of its type reaching an impressive 500,000 soul music fans per month.
It’s overall theme is “Great Black Music From The Ancient To The Future” and it’s objective is to provide an alternative to commercial radio stations covering not only well known black artists and events, but also artists who are “beneath the radar” as they put it.
One of the reasons why “whisper my name” was chosen is that I am considered to be one of the “new artists who are
‘going against the grain’ to try and extend OUR music into the future.” (OUR music being black music)
What a compliment.
They have done a radio special on my cd, “whisper my name”, which is fabulous, and also featured me in a radio show for the Top 5.
Below is the info you will need to find out more.
