DJ Kool Keith [2022-06-05] - Soulful Slow Jams [Soul Groove Radio]

DJ Kool Keith (The Soul Emperor) has managed this week to include at least one tune for each decade from 60s-20s. However, as it's the Queen's Jubilee (in case you hadn't noticed! .. as if!)  I need to pull him up for not including one from the 50s! (a Sam Cooke or Ray Charles perhaps?)

A great track from Tashan's (Rashad) debut album "Chasin' A Dream" and his debut single. Now whatever happened to him? (Update after writing this, a few days later, I stumbled across a new single by DJ N-JOY Feat Tashan7 "You Lify Me Up" (27 May 2022) who is the very same fellow so he is still performing!) Following it is Walter & Scotty (Wallace) who of course are the Scott twins of  The Whispers. 

He's included a track by Solid Solution which I thought was album only but it was reissued on Soul 'O' Sonic which was a 70s label. It transpires that Dave Welding and John Anderson (the maestros behind Grapevine and Soul Junction) instigated the legal repress (along with their modern soul gem "Think About It Girl") via Soul 'O' Sonic's Ernest Kelly (the executive producer of the album) circa 2007 and these sell for around £50. 

Discogs also has a single listed for "Think About It Girl" on Silver Spoon which has never sold on there and there are none for sale so it must be pretty scarce. There is some controversy over the Silver Spoon single which deserves a separate post rather than posting here as Dave Welding interviewed the group in 2016 and has kindly sent the transcript which makes interesting reading.
