Baz Atkinson

Very sad news,the record Precious is a absolute soul masterpiece and I am grateful I got to see him perform it.Ronnie was a very influential figure on the Philly Soul Scene and his records done well enough locally to get national attention.What many perhaps many do not know is that he was also a talented writer and co writer having penned tracks for The Agents and Esther Phillips to name a few. Like most from Philly he was as humble as you could be and I cannot think of many to match that incredible falsetto voice. RIP X

It’s sad but inevitable and for a company that stock market listed in 2002 a bloody shame . This is a company with a leading market brand that was according to many business analysts very well run ? “I don’t think so “. When a company fails to invest significantly in new tech instead in the late nineties going for a botched attempt at mail order what do you expect ? Ask yourself this who was better placed to exploit the internet ie the power of its brand the access to music and film content , it’s vast musical heritage etc. Their social media presence was abysmal coupled with a A Grade arrogant CEO and the picture emerges of a company that started to invest in emerging technology way to late and are now paying the price . I hope KPMG can get some good people to the table to try and salvage the carnage however I fear another Kodak with everything of anything of tangible value flogged off to the best bidder.

I have enjoyed reading this, bit like soul source was 10 years ago with a bit passion expressed etc to me that is the crux of the problem.To me the scene sadly lacks some of the characters that "wore their heart on their sleeve" and had the thirst to get out and about and more importantly be receptive to new sounds.It seems to me people are so desperate to DJ (which lets face it only a a good handful have done it over the years with grace and vigour) that their miss the point entirely ie go out with lifelong friends get off ya bollox and have a cracking time.The scene has become a parody of itself with insane prices being paid for mediocre records ie trends not quality -pats on the back and you do my do ill do yours and the creme de la resistance MORE DJS AT DOS THAN ACTUAL PUNTERS. All this mixed with age as Dave rightly points out and a flagging upfront scene (chalky hits the nail on the head)which features the same djs most of the time adds to a real feeling that perhaps the best days are gone.I agree that their are some great niche dos out there playing lovely sweet and deep soul and long may that side of it continue "but believe me its not as good as been absolutely in the zone,dancing to the Barons of Soul or Jesse James love is alright completely and utterly mullered lol,to me that is the essence of it and sadly people would rather put a picture of themselves on facebook stood over dj decks than actually support the very limited dos that are still trying at least to play lesser known stuff.
