AmpLIFIED SOUL! Heavy Soul and The Right-On Get-Down Sound ~ curated by DJ Tone Arm ~ FREE ~ 9:30pm - 2:00am
Drop by The Make-Out Room for a Post-Holiday Soul Session this Monday night. I'll be playing tracks from the Numero Group's dynamite Jackie Shane compilation and other '60s soul rarities. (Jackie Shane is truly one of the great unsung soul singers of the 1960s. As a transgender performer in the American South, she escaped violence and discrimination, gaining regional stardom in Toronto, Canada. After four decades in musical obscurity, bits and pieces of her remarkable story are only now becoming known. Some highlights: she worked in a carnival, was befriended by Little Richard and Joe Tex, escaped kidnapping by a mafioso crime boss, played drums on Lowell Fulson's "Tramp" and later turned down an offer to join Funkadelic.)
Thanks,
Mike (aka DJ Tone Arm)
