Aaron... from the Bronx USA now living in Birmingham UK

I want you to know your radio show is the best thing I've heard in years. I have had the great pleasure of growing up in NYC in the 60's, 70's and some of the 80's and I put you up there with Frankie Crocker a famous NYC radio DJ on WBLS! You are REAL QUALITY at what you do!! After leaving NYC I've lived in the bay area listened radio all over the US, moved to England 16 years ago and I have been listening to Solar for a few years now and only discovered your show this Sunday! Thanks for the breath of fresh air with your radio show and the ability to be able to listen on podcast perfect for the fast pace world we live in now!!! This is the review i put on iTunes "This is what my view of quality music is suppose to be! Flawlessly delivered with knowledge, insight and the enthusiastic ease of blending old and new good music. Mick and his Soul discovery radio show has been the best thing I've heard for many years!! ......Listen and Enjoy"

'Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.' - Melody Beady

Thanks for taking the time, it is appreciated.

Michael Edwards..... Milton Keynes UK

This show was like eating cooked food....not a scrap left on the plate! And I went back for seconds and thirds!! Lily Fields, Rusty Jackson, Ty Causey...Nuff said.... My belly is full

Ian Gibbs...Hull Yorkshire UK

Great show. Them Oliver Cheatham lyrics "It's not what the good guys do thats bad. It's what the bad guys do that's so damn good"...Doesn't get any better.

Paul Mullen...UK

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

Don Brown...USA

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!

Chris Tyrrell...UK

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.

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.

Please Keep Listening!
