Newsletter from Daptone, includes upcoming cd release details, dates for Sharon Jones in USA and Naomi Shelton in Europe, podcast and a free mp3 download Daptone Gold The world capital of soul has moved around a lot in the last 50 years or so.For most of the '60s, it shuttled back and forth between Memphis and Detroit,with occasional stopovers in New Orleans, Cincinnati and elsewhere; in the '70s, it relocated to Lagos for a little while, before going into international exile with occasional appearances here and there. And for the better part of the past decade, soul's central headquarters has been in Brooklyn--specifically an old two-family house in Bushwick that was converted into the Daptone Records headquarters in 2003.

Sad news reported in the forum by Dave Moore of the passing on of Chris Bartley A fantastically soulful singer Mr Bartley was a perfect foil for the talents of Van McCoy and recorded some of the most sublime mid tempo songs that Van created Chris Bartley born April 17, 1947/9 Harlem Chris Bartley grew up listening to '50s soul and doo wop, and formed his own group in the early 1960's with William Graham, Henry Powell, Sam Nesbitt, and Ronald Marshall. The group was initially called The Soulful Inspirations, but changed names several times, including a stint as The Mindbenders. Later in the 1960s, Bartley and Marshall auditioned as a duo with Van McCoy, and McCoy elected to sign Bartley to a solo deal with Cameo-Parkway subsidiary Vando Records. Bartley hit the pop charts with the McCoy-penned single "The Sweetest Thing This Side of Heaven", peaking at #10 on the US R&B Singles chart and #32 on the Billboard pop charts in 1967.Bartley released a full album behind the single and toured both in America and England following the song's success. After Vando ceased he signed for Buddah but retired from recording in the early 70s. Though did continue performing with appearances in the uk in 1975 more info amg http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:f9fixqr5ldse~T1 soulful kinda music http://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/cbartley.htm
