Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-0 Rhythm & Blues – the legacy lives.  There are names of artists that everyone knows, but there are also R&B artists who did not consistently break the color barrier – R&B artists with songs that will resist the oblivion threatening to engulf them.  We of course include artists such as Sam Cooke, Ruth Brown, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin, but the program’s focus is the long list of R&B artists such as Arthur Alexander, Major Lance, Garnett Mimms, with songs that will live forever because they too played For Your Soul.
