Some great SOUL and JAZZ music sites on the net
www.soul-patrol.com
An information, news-gathering and educational series of internet resources focused on covering black music and culture of the last 50 years and is the largest black-owned internet site of its type.
It's overall theme is "Great Black Music From The Ancient To The Future" and it's objective is to provide an alternative to commercial radio stations covering not only well known black artists and events, but also artists who are "beneath the radar" as they put it. Could they be talking about me?
Soul-Patrol are great supporters of mine and, though they are proud of their blackness, they don't see my "paleness"!! They are truly what music and this world should be about.
Bob Davis and his colleagues have done a radio special on my cd, "whisper my name", which is fabulous, and also featured me in a radio show for their Top 5 Artists of 2003. They have also put me in their Top 20 releases for 2003.
Bob continues to be very good to me and tells anyone who will listen that “whisper my name” should be on their players

A leading site that is "tracking the world's greatest soul music." It includes artist bios, "where are they now" features on classic soul stars, and introductions to great modern soul artists. Some of my favourite artists are featured on this site and I am chuffed to be included with them! If you love soul music, you really should pay them a visit.
Thanks to Chris Rizik for his very kind review!

One of the leading modern soul portals in the world! Focusing on new releases in quality soul music, and based in Europe - Finland to be exact - it also provides a printed issue to subscribers (soul enthusiasts!) from 15 different countries all over the world - mainly European (Scandinavia, UK, Netherlands).
They kindly awarded me "Album of the Month for March 2003" - shout out to Ismo Tenkanen and Barry Towler.

Baldwin "Smitty" Smith, formerly of www.thejazznation.com, works tirelessly to support artists, management, radio, sponsors, promoters, fans, the youths of jazz and me! This site is brand new but promises to offer the same fabulous things that jazznation did like CD and concert reviews, interviews, new and upcoming CD releases and an online store - all things jazz really. D.J. Fazio (reviewer) gave "whisper my name" the most fabulous review.

Some great AUSTRALIAN supporters of Independent Artists and their music
