Givin' Props where Props are Due


In his new album titled S.O.S.: Save Our Soul, due out June 26th, Marc Broussard delves deep into the history books and into the vaults of Motown and Stax Records to create a tribute to the veritable who's who in the soul, blues, R & B, and gospel world. As he puts it, "I want to take what was beautiful and right about old-school soul and make it alive again."

This album, his third counting a benefit bootloeg he produced for the victims of Hurrican Katrina, includes tracks originally sung by some well known names such as Stevie Wonder, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye, as well as some less familiar names such as The Rance Allen Group and The Staple Singers. Marc takes them and updates them a bit, but doesn't lose their original feel. Check out the track listing below:


1. You Met Your Match (Stevie Wonder)
2. If I Could Build My Whole World Around You (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell)
3. Harry Hippie (Bobby Womack)
4. Let the Music Get Down In Your Soul (The Rance Allen Group)
5. I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know (Blood, Sweat & Tears)
6. Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) (Marvin Gaye)
7. Love and Happiness (Al Green)
8. I've Been Loving You Too Long (Otis Redding)
9. Respect Yourself (The Staple Singers)
10. Yes We Can, Can (Allan Toussaint)
11. Come In From The Cold (Marc Broussard original)
