Description
Clive Richardson was there 'at the beginning', when soul music made its first impact on the ears of 1960s London, and when the sound of Motown and Stax burst upon the UK scene. Clive was an early member of Dave Godin's Tamla Motown Appreciation Society, founder of the Don Covay Fan Club and editor of pioneering soul music fanzine Shout. A keen fan of R&B, soul, blues and gospel over the past half century, here Clive traces the story of the emergence and rise of what pirate radio DJ Mike Raven called 'our kind of music', initially from a fan's perspective, and more recently from involvement as a presenter on Solar Radio and Label Manager of the acclaimed soul CD reissue label Shout! Records.
