Soul Cities
with Nelson George

A VH1 Soul Original Program

'Soul Cities' fuses elements of a travel show, music interview series, and personal essay into half hour broadcast aimed at the adult audience that grew up with r&b/soul culture. Each week host Nelson George visits a great American city in search of its "soul" by visiting musically important sites, eating and drinking at local hang outs, interviewing musicians associated with the city, and turning viewers on to great parties and new music. The broadcast will blend travelogue footage of each Soul City with sit-down interviews and tips on places to shop and dine. The accompanying Soul Cities website will deepen viewers immersion in this soulful experience.

George, who co-executive produces VH1's Hip Hop Honors, is one of the nation's leading authorities on black music, so he brings years of knowledge and credibility to Soul Cities. The pilot is being shot in Los Angeles. Subsequent shows will emanate from musically important cities like Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco/Oakland.

George's company Urban Romances will be executive producing with Jac Benson's BlacJac Productions, who's done a variety for show for VH1.

Videos: Anthony Hamilton & Nikka Costa

My favorite male vocalist Anthony Hamilton is back with a new single & video "Cool" feat David Banner from his upcoming album "The Point of it All".






Also Nikka Costa's new video "Stuck On You" from her new album "Pebble To A Pearl" out now. Loves me some Ms. Costa. She's on tour, I missed her when she came thru Dallas. The album is pretty good, she stays true to her roots and gives you the smokey, funky soul she's known for.

Colin Powell Endorses Barak Obama & Early Voting

Not only did a high profile Republican endorse Obama, but people are going out to vote early in record numbers. Today in Texas, there were long lines with there being few and far between places to park at all the early voting stations. This is great in theory I just hope there is a trickle down effect where we get the right people in the office in house and the senate as well.
