A little late to the party on this one, but until SoulBounce has a dedicated DJ (hint hint, managing editor says "Apply!"), you can rest knowing that someone out there is addressing your daily worksafe music-listening needs.

the Philly sound to Southern Soul. From the smooth-sounding production
to the raw and gritty vocals, soul music has been a mainstay in
America. Although throughout the years soul music has branched out from
the likes of James Brown, Sam & Dave and Aretha Franklin, it has

Eric Roberson, Alice Smith and N'Dambi. So do yourself a favor, and

"I think they believe they are recreational users of drugs, and they are in control, but it seems to Georgette and I that this isn't the case."
He suggested that the pair were taking crack, and on occasion there had been heroin use.
