Superb look, Jami, at a vastly-overlooked artist! I was really only aware of his hit, and had no idea he had such a mentor in Redding...another reason to appreciate THAT great singer!

What an incredible story, and so beautifully told here. I'm with Conley — few places immediately calm my mind and blood pressure quite like the Netherlands. I'll have to listen to “Sweet Soul Music” while walking the canals the next time I visit!

Thank you Michael! You and Arthur are certainly making me crave a trip to see this magical place called the Netherlands! This song makes me somewhat emotional now that I’m more intimately familiar with its backstory. It would be a loving tribute to play it the next time you’re there! Thank you for reading.
