James is Back with another 2 hours of upbeat soul, R&B, popcorn, and funk movers and shakers. We give a nod to Clarence Carter, spin a soul group from way up in the Appalachian Mountains, a double shot of Dusty, a rare Louisville Gospel jumper, two Popcorn R&B work songs new to the collection, and so much more!
