I'm looking forward to reading this - 'Really Sayin’ Something' – Memoirs of a Soul Survivor by Clive Richardson.
Now a presenter on soul station Solar Radio (on the internet and on Sky) and Label Manager of specialist re-issue label Shout! Records, Clive’s book describes his recollections including being an early member of the Tamla Motown Appreciation Society, run by the late Dave Godin, organising a fan club for US soul singer Don Covay, editing and publishing soul fanzine Shout magazine for several years, contributing to Black Echoes newspaper for ten years, his involvement with pirate radio in the 1980s, attending R&B and soul concerts in the 60s and 70s, visiting New Orleans for several years during the 80s, being part of the launch roster of presenters on Kiss 100FM in 1990, and building a collection of records during his 50 years as a soul fan.
The book presents a chance to visit ‘behind the scenes’ in the world of soul music, from the perspective of a fan in the early years, and of ‘part of the industry’ more recently.
