NTS Guide to: New York Soul

A world-class music city, New York has never been the first thought when it comes to soul - to most people soul means Detroit, or Memphis, Chicago, or Philadelphia. However, there was a flourishing of soul artists in NYC simultaneous to these other more notable cities. This hour long selection guides us through some lesser heard soul records from New York, dating from the 1960s and '70s.
