Nerdy White Guy Bringing Soul Back? You Better Believe!

Soul — a mashup of gospel-charged singing, funk rhythm and blues — got rolling with African American singers like Ray Charles and Otis Redding in the 50′s. If you’re like me, you still get down to those songs today. But word on the street is that soul is making a resurgence. And leading the pack is Mayer Hawthorne. A white guy from Ann Arbor bringing soul back? You better believe!

Stones Throw released this track was released on a 7-inch red, heart-shaped single. Awesome. Take a minute and get your foot tapping…

 

From StonesThrow.com:

And for those willing to believe anything is possible, be grateful to have Mayer Hawthorne on the scene. It’s not just throwback music anymore – this revival is all about progression.
