Welcome to TooDarnSoulful.com. This website features a number of articles I have written on aspects of rare soul music - so you’ll find articles on obscure artists, long defunct record labels, plenty of reviews of records, and tales of some times of old hunting for elusive vinyl in L.A and London!  
 
I have written regularly for a selection of magazines over the years and have a pretty good collection of vinyl as well. When I write an article I try to be factually accurate; avoiding compromises or cutting corners with supposition or guess work just to join the dots in the easiest way. I’d rather miss something out than make something up that later proves to be wrong. I have never lost my enthusiasm for hearing a new song either.

The US record industry in the 60s and 70s was simply phenomenally busy. Few people really understand just how busy it was! To put it in context, there were usually more than 1,000 new releases every week in the 60’s. For every hit record that made the Billboard Top 100, there were dozens that failed.
