Loading...		July 4th: Soul of America

		July 2nd, 2003 ~ Who better to supply an all-American 4th of July soundtrack than our humble citizen selves? This year, we'll meet two soulful gentlemen who could only have come from the good ol' USA. Smokey Robinson talks about his voice and his timeless Motown singles with the Miracles, as well as the songs he wrote and produced for others, like "My Guy" for Mary Wells and the Temptations' "My Girl". And meet Mr. Wiggles, the king of Richmond VA's "Fatback Sound." Also, craftsman Charles Gillam, who carves blues history out of Mississippi River driftwood. It's a red, white and blues Independence Day... may the Fourth be with you! Listen To Hour 1 Listen To Hour 2 Share This
