If you’re a fan of Soul Music, you’re going to enjoy Saun and Starr’s Look Closer. Saun and Starr have spent the last five years as backup singers for Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Now they get to step up to the mike and belt out some great soul songs (check out the sample below). My favorite song on this CD is “Sunshine (You’re Blowing My Cool), but all the songs are fun to listen to. Unless you go back and listen to your Motown CDs, you’re not going to hear music like this today. GRADE: B+

Wow–that’s great! Can’t believe how authentically “old school” they sound.
Deb, I really enjoyed this retro CD. Great soul music the way it ought to sound!
We’re having our Memorial Day meal today, instead: BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, deviled eggs, cole slaw. No dessert, for the usual reasons. It’s mid 60s, cloudy, pretty typical for here at this time. Enjoy your day!
Rick, we’re traditonalists around here. We’ll have picnic food for MEMORIAL DAY: hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, macaroni salad, watermelon, and plenty of ice cream! Hope you enjoyed your day!
That sounds great too, George, though I’d have had potato salad instead of the macaroni. I love hot dogs and hamburgers!
