Founder of the Gap Band, Charlie Wilson, just recorded his latest album 'Love, Charlie' on RCA records. He delivers again a superb album with outstanding tracks. This albums consist twelve of these amazing songs. For me this album is definitely the album of year 2013. Listen to the smooth soul tracks 'I still have you', 'Show You', 'ooh Wee', 'Whisper' featuring Keith Sweat. Don't get me wrong but the other tracks are worth listening to.

Charlie on his best. An Album you need in your collection. I have order mine already.

Before her untimely death at the age of 54, Teena Marie, known as the Ivory Queen of Soul or simply Lady Tee and as one of the only white artists ever signed to Motown Records, was working on her 14th and latest album, Beautiful. Recorded at her home studio and finished except for final mixes, Beautiful was seen through to its conclusion by Teena's 20-year-old daughter Alia Rose, who sings with her Mom on two tracks, a cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Give Me Your Love" and "Rare Breed," which she co-wrote (Alia co-wrote two more songs on the album, "Sweet Tooth" and the title song). The first single, "Luv Letter," is an homage to Teena's Motown roots, with nods to Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours," and a dedication to Alia's father, who just happened to be a postman, like in the Marvelettes' song of the same name. Beautiful is a mother's gift to her daughter, who returns the gesture the only way she knows how, by completing it. The end result is a true labor of love.

Oliver Cheatham, known by the MCA single 'Get Down Saturday night', released a new single on Soul Junction Records. Following on from “Get Down Saturday Night” Oliver continued to score chart success with “SOS”, “Celebrate Our Love” followed by two duets with Jocelyn Brown “Turn Out The Lights” and “Mind Buster”.

Both tracks on this 7" single are previously unissued 70’s soul tracks, 'Don't Pop The Question (If You Can't Take The Answer)' and 'Good Guys Don't Make Good Lovers'.

Oliver is recording a new CD album that will be released this year
