<span class="_4yxo" style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600;">Patti Austin - Terry Jervis approached Quincy Jones with the idea for a song, book and movie, Quincy Jones then suggested his goddaughter Patti Austin to sing it. This track was first used as the launch for a shuttle to Space, then Jervis got in touch with Gary Van den Bussche for suggestions for a remix release. The song will be featured in a forthcoming movie that is currently in production with Lego. As for the music, great to have Patti Austin back in our CD player.</span><br> </div>

So I approached Carl Barrington Webster who had also had the same idea but had put it on the backburner as he was busy.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">In the UK, unlike many other countries, we have a UK soul scene and call it ‘Soul’, Americans now refer to it as R&B but they include rap etc into the genre. We are still very proud of our soul scene and respect the artists (old and new) who continue to record soul music. Many a soul legend has passed, including most recently our ‘Queen of Soul’ <b>Aretha Franklin,</b> so it's our duty to keep soul music alive! The artists now recording <b>Soul music</b> have to live from touring and selling merchandise as due to streaming their revenue from music sales has vanished. It would be so great if respected organisations like The Grammy's and such like would bring back a <b>Soul category</b> to their awards so the artists of today could gain the <b>RESPECT</b> they have soulfully earnt, how otherwise are we going to <b>move Soul Music forward </b>without new artists? </div><div><span style='color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;'><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q4BFJU0POy0/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q4BFJU0POy0?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><div>

I feel today there are many talented Soul singers that we need to expose to a much bigger world than just our little marketplace that many don't even know exists and by such ignore. It's up to us to spread the word Soul Music is very much alive and with help, it can be reborn. </div>

<b>Aretha Franklin The Queen Of Soul</b> paved the way like no other female vocalist of our time.<br>When I was around 8 years old my late father used to have late parties in the house and all I could hear from my bedroom as a child was the 'Lady Soul' album on repeat from 'Chain Of Fools', 'Money Won't Change', 'People Get Ready', Issac Hayes 'Shaft' & Curtis Mayfield 'Curtis album. Even in my sleep, Aretha was touching my Soul not just a great singer, but a great pianist also. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3GlDuBz1ws8/W3fQMZEtH0I/AAAAAAAAB5k/8Hcj-Fni8noHKsV9OAxo6Ln439KHjbatgCLcBGAs/s1600/aretha_franklin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3GlDuBz1ws8/W3fQMZEtH0I/AAAAAAAAB5k/8Hcj-Fni8noHKsV9OAxo6Ln439KHjbatgCLcBGAs/s400/aretha_franklin.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;"><br></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">I collected every album she ever recorded from the unsuccessful Columbia recording period right through to Atlantic recordings and then Artista records, That was nine or so Columbia releases that were released from 1961- 1967. The Atlantic Records hit period started in 1967 with her 'I Never Loved A Man' (The Way I Loved You) album the first of 20 album releases including one of the most succesful Gospel album of all time the Double Vinyl released 'Amazing Grace 'set. Her Atlantic Recordings hit factor slowed down in 1977-1979 with her very underrated <b>Curtis Mayfield</b> set 'Almighty Fire', <b>Lamont Dozier </b>produced 'Sweet Passion', & <b>Van McCoy</b>'s mostly produced 'La Diva' album.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cdn.smehost.net/arethafranklinnet-uslegacyprod//wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Aretha-HEAD-SHOT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://cdn.smehost.net/arethafranklinnet-uslegacyprod//wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Aretha-HEAD-SHOT.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="352" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><br></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">In 1980 she signed with Arista Records with Clive Davis in the A&R hot seat Aretha was back with her debut Arista set 'Aretha' which included her version of 'What A Fool Believes', <b>Arif Mardin</b> produced her next set in 1981 the 'Love All The Hurt Away' in which it's title track was a duet with <b>George Benson</b>. <b>Luther Vandross</b> was called in for the next two sets 'Jump To It' & 'Get It Right', <b>Narada Michael Walden</b> for the 'Who Zooming Who' album that included the #1 R&B /#3 National Billboard chart hit 'Freeway Of Love'. 'A Rose is Still a Rose' was her thirty-seventh studio album it resulted in the singer's most critically acclaimed and best-selling album of the 1990s, the single featured <b>Lauryn Hill</b>, the album stands as one of Aretha's most successful sets. <b>Clive Davis</b> once again took control of Aretha Franklin last studio album 'Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics' which was a tribute of ten covers of songs made famous by female recording artists, which once again took the Queen to the top 3 of the USA R&B chart with her covers of songs made famous by Gladys Knight, Etta James, Gloria Gaynor, Barbra Streisand, Chaka Khan, Alicia Keys & Adele.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-imE56qHfb9s/W3fSoUSE46I/AAAAAAAAB5w/kUpqlPKezvsA8G9hvHmOcEDrUzet3HkVgCLcBGAs/s1600/aretha-franklin-blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-imE56qHfb9s/W3fSoUSE46I/AAAAAAAAB5w/kUpqlPKezvsA8G9hvHmOcEDrUzet3HkVgCLcBGAs/s400/aretha-franklin-blog.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="245" width="400" /></a></div>

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Soul music is back in the national charts after the death of the Queen, <b>Sam Cooke</b>, Jackie Wilson (To Be Loved) arguably started the sound in 1957 with 'You Send Me' & tagged The Man That Invented Soul, but my research also gives Jackie Wilson credit and for inspiring The Motown Sound with Berry Gordy.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Soul Music deserves its own category back! like it used to have, as R&B (Rhythm & Bass) includes Hip Hop and Rap which now heads the way in America, Soul Music is looked as an older person's thing, but there has never been so much great new Soul Music around. If you tune into <a href="http://www.starpointradio.com/" target="_blank">Starpoint Radio </a>you will discover the best of this, it's an online & DAB radio station that offers the best in today's Soul music with classics mixed in, other stations include <a href="http://www.solarradio.com/" target="_blank">Solar Radio</a> in which you can listen via Sky TV also. It's time to tune into <b>SOUL MUSIC</b> once again and let the music touch you with great recent albums by Cornell Carter, Rai, Tyra Lavone, Al Lindsey, Show Tyme, Ty Causey, Chris Jasper etc. As we get older the melodies of today, with the most sound like they haven't got any, and in fact machine-driven, with the odd exception of artists like Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys, Beyonce (at times), Pharrell Williams among others.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div>

Over the <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">next three years Starpoint Radio attempted to broadcast seven days a week, but as an unlicensed station, this proved difficult within the rules and regulations of the DTI. In December 1988 it was decided to pursue alternative avenues of broadcasting and Starpoint's final show as an unlicensed station was from infamous Crazy Larry's on the Kings Road in Chelsea.starpoint_radio_good_old_days</span>
</div><div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">In June 1991, Starpoint Radio applied for and received one of the first restricted broadcast licenses for a period of twenty-one days and the first show came from the unlikely venue of Windsor Safari Park, covering Windsor, Slough, Maidenhead, and most of Surrey and South London! The following three weeks were a rip-roaring success with the station being able to adhere to its long-held principles of quality music and quality presenters without bowing to the pressures of commercialism. The success of the Windsor broadcasts led to Starpoint Radio being approached by Alex Lowes of the Southport Weekenders to broadcast from the legendary event.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">This resulted in Starpoint's management joining forces with another former unlicensed London radio station and the two merged into a satellite-based radio station. With Starpoint's connections, this radio station became the official broadcaster for the Southport weekenders until the BBC's 1- Xtra took over in - now here's a problem, the old mind's gone blank. Does anybody out there remember when 1 Xtra took over? Perhaps you could let us know so we can put this archive right.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">In February 2005, management decided to part ways and Starpoint Radio was reborn.starpoint_radio_antenna_1985</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">As "The Real Alternative" Starpoint Radio is now 'the' station for quality music and quality presenting! Now broadcasting on DAB and 24 hours on the internet, Starpoint Radio continues to grow each month proving that it is possible to run a quality soul based music station.</div>

The label started 5 years after discovering the then unknown SouLutions, a demo version of Listen had been sitting in a drawer for over seven years, when Linda Lucas (Louise SouLutions Mum) sent it to DSG head of Music Gary Van den Bussche, who after a break from the music industry decided to make that the first release on his new record label DSG! The song reached #1 on the Soul charts with a Drizabone remix Gary arranged and they have gone on to not only have other number ones but have established themselves as the UK's #1 modern Soul band. Louise's voice is not too be missed live, SouLutions were recently invited to support Melba Moore (This Is It, Love's Comin At Ya) at her recent sold out Jazz Cafe concert in London. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WLqi9GL5Dbc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WLqi9GL5Dbc?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe>

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">And after such a long wait for ‘Retropia’ Leee says fans can expect one more Imagination album: “I always knew ‘Retropia’ was going to eventually happen one day, I just didn’t realise there would be such a long period of time over the years in between. As soon as we finished recording this album it became obvious to me we have one more to go, so I’m now in the unusual position of knowing this is Imagination’s penultimate album.”</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">The recording process for ‘Retropia’ would become a vital catharsis for Leee, who was coming to terms with the death of his sister Linda and three close friends in the space of a year. Leee said, “I felt like I was in emotional whirlpool; trying to deal with all these deaths and supporting my family, especially my mother who’d lost a daughter, and my best friend’s daughters who’d now lost both parents.”</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Understandably, recording the vocals in such circumstances was emotionally demanding. Leee said, “There are several songs on the album that remind me of my sister, including the song ‘Brighter Day’ which I wrote in Munich on the day she had her accident and subsequently passed away 24 hours later. I couldn't listen to the song - much less sing it - without thinking of her, but I somehow found the inner-strength to realise what I had written was uplifting and had a spiritual sense of dealing with life's trials. It took so much of my strength to perform it.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lItAtO5w1kc/WVojpNW-_CI/AAAAAAAABik/Moz8BPMMxfQhemtMrGxRFQ9vyEOttIN7wCLcBGAs/s1600/leeejohnpic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lItAtO5w1kc/WVojpNW-_CI/AAAAAAAABik/Moz8BPMMxfQhemtMrGxRFQ9vyEOttIN7wCLcBGAs/s400/leeejohnpic.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/retropia-feat-leee-john/id1218460641" target="_blank">Download the album here from iTunes </a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Produced in London in LJ Studios with long-time associate producer/engineer Dee Vaz, and mixed by François Gaucher at Alhambra Studios in Rochford, France, Leee produced, arranged, wrote and co-wrote all the songs on ‘Retropia’, except for the album’s four covers versions: Eddie Kendrick’s ‘Tell Her Love Has Felt The Need’, Junior Murvin’s ‘Police and Thieves’ (a secret bonus track which was co-produced with Dennis Bovell), a collaboration with the Gibson Brothers and acclaimed British blues guitarist Mark Vandergucht on AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’, and another collaboration on Stevie Wonder’s ‘Visions’ with Level 42’s Mike Lindup, which was recorded for the charity SOS Children, of which Leee has been a Patron for the past 18 years.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/woIngypyxzA/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/woIngypyxzA?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><br></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">With Retropia dedicated to Imagination’s fans around the world, the set also includes songs which Leee has performed on stage live but, surprisingly, has never placed on any album until now. These songs include ‘Utopia’, ‘Make Your Mind Up’ and ‘Fantasia’, which became an underground classic when Leee put it out in the early ‘90s as a white-label obscurity under the name Johnny X.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Looking ahead to the album’s release, Leee said, “The recording of Retropia got me through a very dark time and gave me the strength to keep in our hearts the spirit of those who are no longer with us. Each song creates a tapestry of time, and the music and the melodies will live on long after we are gone.”</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Described by the BBC as “classic Imagination…but fresh and very much 2017”, the single ‘Do It Right Now’ has already become a Solar Radio’s ‘Single Of The Week’ and delighted to announce it's second week at number# 1 in the UK Soul Charts.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><br></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Stevens is the son of a US serviceman and began his career working in a record shop, selling deleted catalogues of soul and lovers rock, rock steady and reggae music. His first move into music came in the mid 1970s, when he joined as lead singer for the group Raw Energy. Raw Energy members included Alan Cooke (now a British actor starring in London Bridge) and Peter Hinds (who went on to play keyboards for 1980s Brit funk band Light of the World). Raw Energy were signed to Conflict Records, but disbanded after 18 months of playing gigs up and down the country.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Stevens was taken on as A&R man for Conflict Records, and being responsible for releasing lovers rock and rock steady music by artists such as Gregory Isaacs in the UK. Stevens also worked as a session singer with Eddy Grant and Marianne Faithfull, before signing to the Elite label as a solo artist in 1985.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Blue Moods period...<br>Stevens released two singles on Elite Records in 1985, "Night Moves" and "All Day All Night", which were played by specialist UK radio stations. This led to interest in his work, although he was initially mistaken for being a US artist. Polygram offered Stevens a £2.5 million recording contract, which he declined feeling it would threaten his independence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9ElrsPFbcw0/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9ElrsPFbcw0?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Staying with Elite Records, Stevens recorded his debut album, Blue Moods. Two singles, "Too Much Too Soon" (on Elite Records) and "Cannot Live Without Your Love" (on the newly formed Jam Today label) were released as 12-inch singles, before Blue Moods appeared on Jam Today in 1987. "Cannot Live Without Your Love" was featured on several soul compilation albums, such as Upfront 6 (on Serious Records). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xmlDOwQJ7JM/WO8vAjvjEMI/AAAAAAAABgk/Zo_gEGK12bEt2xKhRhDkigMalm5OGN01gCEw/s1600/kenistevens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xmlDOwQJ7JM/WO8vAjvjEMI/AAAAAAAABgk/Zo_gEGK12bEt2xKhRhDkigMalm5OGN01gCEw/s400/kenistevens.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><br></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Blue Moods sold over 150,000 copies in the UK alone, and over a million worldwide.

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Their performances with Diana Ross opened many doors for the girls. Ross gave them a brief interlude in her show where they would sing "If I Ever Lose This Heaven," a song popularized by Quincy Jones. Kenny Gamble of Philadelphia International Records and singer Patti LaBelle were in the audience during a Philadelphia performance, and after the show, Ross introduced them to The Jones Girls; the group signed with Philadelphia International in early 1979 and the rest they say is history.</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Brenda Jonesgirl had spent a lot of time concentrating on her family life. Brenda's last release was “What Your Love Has Done” which was originally written, produced and arranged by Dewey Andrew in 2007 and co-produced by the late George Mena with additional melodies and arrangements that were co-produced by Brenda JonesGirl. The song was left in the can after the sad loss of George Mena, until 2013 when Dewey Andrew decided this needed to be released, so Brenda Jonesgirl went back in the recording studio to add some extra vocal touches with Dewey in the production chair once again, giving the song that magical touch, that chart in the UK Soul charts reaching #1 in many of them. Unfortunately this was Brenda's only solo release.</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br>He started playing sax when he was just 10 years old and would often be seen playing weekends with the wedding band in his dads pub. When Gallagher reached 16 he was busking in Glasgow with some mates and was approached by a man named Elliot Davis. This led to touring with a band called Morrocan Coco,and then to a Scottish tour with label mates wet wet wet.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">He decided around 18 that he wanted to be in London working, so after attending a Jazz summer school he joined a band with a guy he'd met there called Len Arran. The band was called Siren and featured Dominique Atkins on vox, len on guitar, Gallagher on saxes. After the band changed it's name to Big Blue Sea they did pretty well for 4 or 5 years.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">He then embarked on a session career with my first successful recording being 3 tracks for a band called Bros of 'When Will I Be Famous' fame.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">Soon after he then met Nigel Lowis which led to various sessions between 1988 and 1998 for such people as Vanessa Mae, Dina Carroll, Tom Jones, Eternal, Louise, Terry Ronald, Sara Brightman, London Beat, Soup Dragons,Guru Josh,Therapy? To name but a few.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">During this time when Gallagher wasn’t touring or recording, but often did gigs around London with The Gill Manly Band at Ronnie Scotts,The 606 Club,China Jazz, Pizza on the Park with Ian Shaw at the Vortex and Pizza Express. With Mark Murphy, Helena paul. Gallagher played on Ola Onabule first album which also included touring as part of Ola's band. </div>

This eagerness to learn found Whitney enlisting in the US Army in 2002 and living abroad for several years before being honorably discharged after suffering an injury while in S. Korea in 2006. Upon return to her family's home in Framingham, Whitney, again driven by her love for helping people, followed a career path in human services, adolescent healthcare, mental health and healthcare administration in which she holds an MBA. All while actively singing lead/co-lead female vocals in a variety of local bands around the Boston area such as Mystique, Nemisis, E-Water Band and Athene Wilson and Friends; all this in addition to forming her own band, perfectly named Sympli Whitney.</div><div><span style='color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;'><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eRo8M0dRwy0/WGz97GKN40I/AAAAAAAABVQ/o_kHdTjBCdEYtdOumS46YqF1_mqcuW8cgCLcB/s1600/SWhitney.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eRo8M0dRwy0/WGz97GKN40I/AAAAAAAABVQ/o_kHdTjBCdEYtdOumS46YqF1_mqcuW8cgCLcB/s400/SWhitney.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div>

Fresh! The Judges, searched for words to explain why they enjoyed her performance and why they were each impressed. Whitney has that effect on people. It’s hard to say who she reminds you of because she has a sound and vocal style of her own, yet she could remind you of such legends as Evelyn King, Patrice Rushen or maybe Cherelle. Whitney was one of the featured artists on the 2014 independent release titled “Indie Soul United 2.” She was featured on “7 Days A Week,” “I’d Rather Say Good Morning” and a remake of the Stevie Wonder classic “Black Man.” “ISU 2” reached the #2 spot on the U.K. Soul Chart. </div></div>
