If there were a "Keeper of Soul Music's Culture Award," these two brothas would genuinely receive it.  Soul music's evolution, from the black church and the blues, has intricacies that only living through that life would allow for a greater understanding of that life. 

Join me as we chat with Robert A. Brown, lecturer & book author of Know Your Soul: The Music of A Lifetime (2017). Brown's knowledge of R&B music and the cultural elements that influenced the music will be shared. He is considered an ethnomusicologist with a focus on  Classic Soul, and founder of the Bay Area (CA) R&B Society.

Our second guest is Bob Davis.  For the past 25 years, Davis has kept the culture of soul music authentic (REAL). Considered as  "required reading" in the music departments at the Universities of Wisconsin and Indiana, Bob has been guest speaker and lecturer at Carnegie Mellon University, Dominican University, and  Burlington County College (NJ), and has been a consultant for the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame.

AWWW YEA...THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE.

You Know My Theory:  Pop music’s midwife was the Chitlin Circuit; its father was rhythm-and-blues, and its’ mother was soul.
