Max,
I know you're gonna feel this! Soul legend LEROY HUTSON joined us on our radio show Midnight Soulstice last night. For one hour, we talked about his experiences as the lead singer of The Impressions, how he wrote "The Ghetto" with Donny Hathaway, why his amazing albums on Curtom Records never made it into the Top Ten and about his future plans. This is a very rare occasion to hear the man speak and listen to much of his amazing music. Tune in today and listen to the download of the entire show right here:
