I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody wholeheartedly for their contributions over the last weeks, without you I would not be able to make this possible.
Keep listening!

I want to personally thank Mick O'Donnell for the opportunity of allowing me to contribute articles to Soul Discovery. In my opinion this is an excellent vehicle for all of us who are "die-hard" lovers of "real" music. In particular the musical foundation of R&B and Soul. It is also a way for us to not only make others aware of the efforts of Mick via Soul Discovery, but to educate the young and the old about the true history of a universal art form. Some of the truths and facts are not pretty however, what brings out the 'beauty' are the memories (good or bad), the emotions the music recalls, and the fact that this music still lives on. I also want to thank all who are/will be contributing their knowledge to Soul Discovery (I know I will learn quite a bit). I feel in my heart our efforts will not be in vain and we will keep true R&B and Soul alive!

I’ve caught a few of your podcast shows in the last few months and I’ve been excited to finally hear someone playing great new material (what would have been described as ‘indie soul’ back in the day) as well as vintage soul so I’m really pleased to see that you’ve got this website up & running. It looks really promising and it’s definitely what’s needed for us lovers of real soul music –
a chance to hear new material through your show and read the background to it on the site. I’m excited to see the names of the contributors listed – great to read, amongst others, Rod Dearlove’s missive up there today (Voices the mag is still sorely missed by me and I guess many others).
Anyway, I hope that this is the start of something vital for soul music and those of us who obsess about it!
Good Luck & Best Wishes

Hi Mick,
Discovered your show recently and think it's fabulous.
It's very refreshing to hear someone throwing their enthusiasm and dedication into the deep soul and gospel genre.
Having been a dedicated soul music fan for as long as I can remember this show is really something.
Ignoring commercial trends and supporting genuine soul music I believe you have a niche angle here enabling you to represent many hitherto unknown American artists.
The exciting avent of internet radio enables this kind of show to flourish and I'm sure it will be a success both in the USA and Europe.
Good luck to you Mick.
