May 25, 2023: Frank LucasHi Daddybnice,
Just ran across your site. We may have communicated a few years ago. I was looking at the time to get back in touch with Frank Lucas. I just saw on your site a posting that Frank may have passed away a year or two ago. Darn, that's a shame. I really wanted to get back in touch with him. I and my partner produced and arranged a couple sides with him that we released back in 1978 or 79. I still have the 2" master tapes that I would have loved to have gotten to him. If you know someone from his family, pass along my email address, and I 'll talk to them about getting the masters to them.
Thanks.
Michael Francis
Daddy B. Nice replies:
By happy coincidence, Michael, I just heard Frank Lucas singing "Good Thing Man" on the radio courtesy of my favorite deejay, DJ Ragman. Frank Lucas (the famous gangster) died a few years ago, making people think Frank "My Singing Ding-A-Ling" Lucas had passed. Subsequently, one of my readers reported Lucas the southern soul singer had indeed also gone on. This is what you probably read in the Frank Lucas artist guide, although that report has never been confirmed. I don't know of any regularly-touring southern soul singers who knew him. Lucas was a fringe artist who made it in the southern soul market with his novelty hit, but little else is known. For that reason alone, I'll post your letter and see if it stirs the pot for posterity. The previous letter-writer, for example, was familiar with friends or relatives of Lucas who would be interested in your largesse.
Listen to Frank Lucas singing "The Man With The Singing Ding-A-Ling" on YouTube.
 LOOKING FOR A SONGHi
I am looking for a very old album (artist Steve Perry), he use to have a album maybe early in the 2000’s the name of the song I am looking for is (Party All Night Long) can you help
Daphne Steadman
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Daphne, I checked all of the usual places for Steve Perry, beginning with my own two artist guides Steve Perry #74 on the Original Top 100 Southern Soul (1990-2010) and Steve Perry #37 on the 21st Century Southern Soul (2000-2020). I checked the music sellers (including Apple), Perry's "topic" page on YouTube and my own southern soul music archives with no results for "Party All Night Long". I'm sure you know that Perry's brand was severely eclipsed by the rock star of the same name, Steve Perry of the band Journey. And his albums, which are meticulously documented in the "About The Artist" section of 21st Century guide, will give you some clues (for example, "Party All Night Long" was released on the 2002 album SHE CAUGHT ME (Bluesland)). However, the albums had scant production and exposure. You need to talk to old-school types or watch the Concert Calendar for one of Perry's occasional if rare live appearances, where you might be able to question the man himself. I'll also put your query in Daddy B. Nice's Mailbag in case any of my readers can help.

Stephanie McDee followed up:
Hi, how are you doing? Can you let me know your feedback?
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Awww it’s not fair. You never give me any feedback to MY feedback….!
Stephanie replies:
Heyyy you're daddy b nice you don't need feedback you're the expert my feedback is nothing compared to yours. When daddy b nice speaks it's the law in Southern Soul, it's nothing else to be said after that plus everything you wrote about me I love it and I thank you so much for making me female vocalist of the year. That's one of my biggest highlights since I returned back to Southern Soul coming from you, because you know past history of my music career going on 30 years when I was coming up with Jackie Neal and her father Raful Neal. Thanks again for all that you do for me, I truly appreciate it!!!

March 13, 2023:Thank You Letter (which leads to Avail Hollywood "Conversating" With Daddy B. Nice) Re: Avail Hollywood #10 The New Generation
Number 10 is the bottom of the Beginning the top of the last's ... one would normally frown upon my Endeavor's & Culturely Influencing This New Game of Southern Soul but not me I'm proud of what you consider to be your chart.... first off to you: the Wonderful Daddy B Nice.. Thanks through out the years of keeping up with the name AVAIL HOLLYWOOD I know it ain't been easy because I probably have the biggest catalog in southern soul not only just for me--- I have wrote and recorded legends-to your best acknowledges it means the world to me!?? if I could rate you I would rate you next to superb ... not superb but next to it, but you are Definitely A Great Force of the Southern Soul Community!
I remember it like it was yesterday, some of my peers told me: NO JEANS, NO BASEBALL CAPS AVAIL!! Why does he wear shades, and cut the sleeves off his shirts, and what's with the big CIGAR, During that time of 2008 every one singing Southern Soul wore Suits and the ladies wore dresses,...
You can't use those RNB / HIP HOP bass lines in southern soul -- he's deluding Southern Soul... lol remember this Daddy B "IT JUST AINT NO SOUTHERN SOUL IN AVAIL HOLLYWOOD " I loved that first article you wrote on me..
Then it was his show is to Nasty, Don't curse, and his shows have too many show lights on stage and you don't need stage smoke ?? for your performances LOL! NoW LOOK AT THE NEW GENERATION OF SOUTHERN SOUL. I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! They do all this and more!!!
This new wave of TikTok is a blessing, it has definitely gave artist a chance that before now wouldn't have had this opportunity to be in front of the masses... in the same sense is the way I used facebook when I started, WHEN I SAY I HAD TO GET IT OUT THE MUDD I DON'T SAY THAT LOOSELY ..
...LET ME SAY THIS MY FANS HAS KEPT ME ALIVE I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART you just don't understand how good they have been to me!!!...my god!!
IVE NEVER STEPPED FOOT ON THE BLUES IS ALRIGHT TOUR, NORE THE SPRING FLING AND THESE ARE THE SHOWS THAT HELP KEEP SOME OF MY CONSTITUENCES RELEVANT -in 15yrs of being in this Game.. I've always said those crowds are set crowds and a TICKET OF THE TOP TEIR ARTIST IN THE GAME -- when you are one of the highest paid, and can last 15years and still pack houses like I, with out the help of big Annual shows really speak volumes --- & and out of your top TEN IM THE ONLY 1 that hasn't been on any of southern soul's biggest platforms! It's not to bost or to pump my chest like Tarzan!!
Lol which you know I love to do!.... KING!!!!!!
It's just to show other artist you don't have to be listed among the top TO REALLY BE THE TOP ... GOD IS EVERYTHING
I LOVE YOU MR B NICE, keep doing your thang????
Daddy B. Nice replies: Another blast! Thanks for checking in. You’re not alone among Top 10 New Generation artists not being invited to the Blues Is Alright Tour. Neither have Wendell, Jeter, T.K. and before this year when he finally broke in, J-Wonn. Can I post this?
Avail Hollywood replies: I make no mistake when I tell you—- They have all in your TOP 9 New Generation— been apart of the BLUES IS ALRIGHT TOUR. OR Either THE SPRING FLING!! And that’s not a bad thing at all—THATS A GREAT THING IN MY EYES and they all ROCK!!
But I have not NOT either 1 and up until now I’m very much proud of that fact!!! But! One would think based off my remarks that I’ve never been invited—. Lol let me tell on myself -unfortunately I have, I was asked two years ago about the Spring Fling - but after being in the game 10 years and just now being asked… I thought to myself what’s the point …. Lol Maybe I was just in my feelings- what u think DADDY B?? LOL Feelings?? and I forgot to mention, maybe I asked for a lil to much Cash too!
Again this is not to tare down anyone of my soul brothers or sisters because I’m proud of everyone’s contribution to this thang we call southern soul — I just thought it might be a penny for your thought… and maybe it might inspire an up and coming artist- THAT THE GREATs Have OBSTACLES TOO! And yes u can post this!! Don’t have me writing all this for NOTHING MAN!!!
Daddy B. Nice replies: My thought on that (the Blues Is Alright Tour) is you should call Julius and tell him, “I’m ready, man.” And work with him on the fee. The national exposure to be gained is tremendous! You’ve got the “jewels”. Don’t get bashful at this late date. Show those “jewels”!
Avail Hollywood replies: You are 100% right Daddy B I just might do that!, Lol u know I hate admitting when you are RIGHT, just Kidding MAN… I have nothing but respect for the BLUES ALRIGHT as well as the SPRING FLING they both are absolutely beautiful as well as the TRI STATE that showed me mad love over the years! But you know I’m a SOUTHERN SOUL Renegade have and always will be. I LIKE THAT - IM START USING THAT southern soul renegade a*k*a* The King of Grownfolks Music Lol! Don’t get me started man! As always Good talking to you brother!

March 1, 2023:"HOW DO I GET ON THE CHARTS?" LETTERS Artist Ben Ether Hello and top of the day to everyone at Daddy B. Nice. This is kelvin Austin AkA/Ben Ether. I'm trying to contact the person that lists artist music on the site. Here are my latest singles
How Do I Get on daddybnice charts Hello daddybnice.
My name is Ben Ether. Im Host of The BluzBox with Ben Ether on KQPN 730am here in memphis on mon-wens-and Fri from 11am-2pm. And on WMQM 1600am our sister station every Saturday morning 11am-2pm. I'm an Artist also. Southern Soul/Blues & R&B. Hey can you guys please add me to the daddybnice charts. Or what do I need to do do to get on the charts. Im being played in a lot of places and I have solid online presence. Anyways here's 2 of my songs in this email,, and 2 more in a separate one.. that have been played a lot all over the place. Ok thanks and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks in advance.
How do I get my music on your charts Hello this is Ben Ether, I'm an artist from memphis. I'm trying to get some of my hits on daddybnice southernsoul/blues charts. What criteria is needed for me to do that
Here are some of my songs. I'm already being played on quite a few radio stations.
Song from Ben Ether Please add me to the charts
Artist name-(Ben Ether)
Daddy B. Nice replies:I'm going to post your series of letters in the Mailbag, Ben, not to chastise you for blowing up my email (although that notion did cross my mind) but to make it worth my time in answering by including others who've sent me similar letters. So if at any time you feel like it's a "scold," please bear with me. By the end you'll realize I'm telling you exactly what you want to know: what happens behind the scenes en route to the charts.
Are you asking me for a favor? The only reason I ask is because you already know how to submit your songs. You're emailing 'em in.
Nope, can't do that. Everybody's treated the same. Because once it gets here it's not about the people who made the music. It's about the music. It's about what we hear.
The thing to remember is there are approximately one hundred(!) new southern soul tunes submitted each month, and some we run down ourselves. That's stiff competition. And to keep sending in a couple of your tunes for the better part of a year is to bang your head against the wall. Many of your fellow artists are sending in a dozen or more newly-minted songs in the same amount of time. If you don't see your singles in the Top 10 or Top 40 in two months---three months at most---they didn't make the cut.
(By the way, one of those two Ben Ether songs did make the charts. June 2022.
….37. "(Gotta Get To) My Baby's House"---Ben Ether I even wrote you a note, so I'm puzzled by that.)
But here's how the process of selection works. We use our ears. And we don't just concentrate on a song once and then move on. We use what I call "random repetition". Each song that makes the initial "cut" (approximately fifty total) goes into the current playlist for the upcoming month, and that playlist runs on "shuffle" for at least two weeks, running while we're doing all sorts of other work. It's similar to listening to the radio or some app, the key ingredient being never knowing what you're going to hear next.
The key is the repetitions and the randomness. It's amazing how the ear tells you, "That is a keeper. I want to hear that again." Or, conversely, "I'm getting tired of hearing that already. Not as good as I thought." Gradually, as the first of the month nears, a smaller playlist, one with the best songs, emerges (“Daddy B. Nice’s Top 10), with the runners-up spilling over into the “Top 40”.

February 5, 2023:LOOKING FOR A SONG LETTER: Evette Busby What's up Daddy Nice?
Don't know if you remember me from Peoria, Illinois, but I'm the one who introduced you to the song Mr. Willy about a year ago. Anyway, I have tried to no avail to get a copy of the song Mr. Big Stuff by Evette Busby. Can you by any chance send a MP3 copy of it to my email? If not, do you know where I can get a copy? I'd like to get it as soon as possible.
Thank you so much sir. I check out your top songs on a regular basis.
Happy New Year!
Dewayne Harris
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Yes, “Mr. Willy” became one of the top songs of the year. See Best Of 22. Thank you.
On the Busby single….did you try contacting Malaco Records?
Dewayne replies:
Actually I did contact Malaco Records last week, but they had no release date information.
I heard the song before Christmas and thought it would be out by now.
Dewayne
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Here's a Malaco Records promo for Busby's "Mr. Big Stuff".
Dewayne replies:
HERE IT IS. Finally found it. Check it out!
Listen to Evette Busby singing "Mr. Big Stuff" on YouTube.
Dewayne
Daddy B. Nice notes:
Stephanie McDee currently resides on Daddy B. Nice's Top 10 Singles for "the first notable cover song of the year". ("Girl You Got It," a King George cover). It looks as if Evette Busby has the second.
Listen to Evette Busby singing "Mr. Big Stuff" on YouTube. (New video posted February 3rd).

 Jaye HammerGood morning,
I'm looking to purchase a copy of Jaye Hammer's album, work it on me. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.
Jawaun
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Sure. I'm going to walk you through the steps I'm taking. First I go to Jaye Hammer in the index, then to his artist guide, where I look in the right-hand column with the CD record visuals. As I continue to scroll down the page I find "Work It On Me" and click the hyper-link to "Buy". Oh no! The page (Amazon) has been replaced by another artist's album. It was too long ago, I'm afraid, Hammer's first and long out of print. I'm assuming you've already checked Apple and the usual suspects. Ecko Records would have it but Hammer wasn't with Ecko yet. And often the artists themselves can't place their early work. About all you can do is monitor E-Bay and the rare record sites.

 Music or Lyrics?Hey Daddy B Nice!
As someone who's constantly "judging music," I want you to settle an argument between me and my friend. What is more important to the success of a record, the music or the lyrics?
Daddy B. Nice replies:
It's all in how you define your terms, but if by music you mean the instrumental tracks and vocals, and if by lyrics you mean the words and themes...the music. Of course! I never knew what Mick Jagger was talking about in "(Can't Get No) Satisfaction," and after enjoying "Jukebox Lover" for the better part of a year I still don't what Tucka's talking about. Granted, I don't listen that closely. That's because I'm having such a great time with the music. The exception, of course, is certain super hit singles like King George's "Keep On Rolling," Pokey's "My Sidepiece," Nellie Travis' "Mr. Sexy Man" and Theodis Ealey's "Stand Up In It," where the lyrics take the songs to entirely different and stratospheric levels. But even those lyrics wouldn't have seen the light of day without the music to make people stop and listen.

December 10, 2022: Pictured: West LoveDon't Forget The Contributions Of The Younger GenerationHello Daddy B.
I received your monthly Newsletter. However, I have to disagree with a good majority of it. The Opinion I have about certain music sources falling off or behind may vary from others. For Ex: Mr. Jerry "Boogie" Mason who is considered legendary in book for doing what he does for Southern Soul/Blues. Many people such as myself still receive his email blast but I can't say for sure what's going on with The Website. I just know that he is one of the main music update sources on the scenes. Then there's myself. Although I personally haven't built a website to introduce new music and/or update concert info. But at the rate that new music is being released and the number of new artist coming onto The Scene that would be a 24/7 job for anyone. Plus Social Media has made it easier and easier for The Concert goes, artist, Promoters etc to find out what's happening on The Scene and what have you. There are hundreds of Southern Soul Groups on Facebook where upcoming shows are posted all throughout The Day. But Mr. Mason may or may not have converted to strictly email. I'm not sure. I just I know as for me I do strictly email blast along with weekly playlist of new music.. Then there's Lisa Good (of Five Star Promo) who you may or may not be familiar with, who does an outstanding job with distributing the music on a very regular basis. There's also Yolanda Marshall who is actually an artist herself that sends out music just to help out. My point is there are numerous of sources to keep us updated. So, it just may be the fact that a lot of those who are used to things just dropping in their lap aren't up to date with The New Sources themselves. Although My name isn't mentioned a lot for what I do, I know what I bring to the table and what a force I am. There's about 85% of The Artist who come to me behind the scenes for help. I service over 3000 DJs Nationwide. There's several songs and artist who have been mentioned on your site who weren't mentioned until months after myself or other sources sent that particular music out. Another reason that you and others may or may not be receiving as much music is because everything is so political and biased. An artist can release a hit single and everyone knows it's automatically a hit, But they won't get mentioned on anyone's site, playlist, website or anything all because they aren't attached to The Right people in Southern Soul. I have certain Radio DJs who won't play certain artist or even list them on their man-made list all because of who is sending The music to them. I'm only saying this because it's time out for all the shenanigans and discredit of Those of us who have worked tirelessly to keep Southern Soul going. And No this isn't just about me, It's about Southern Soul PERIOD
Melody Hudson (aka DJ Melle Mel)
That Lady DJ Productions
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Thanks, Mel, for your insights into the contributions of the younger generation. I'll post this for the readers because you deserve recognition as well. Understand that I was looking backward in my column and was most preoccupied with saving the archives of the hundreds of southern soul artists on my website and keeping them online for many years after I go down. Due to limited space I missed mentioning many other websites---for instance, the Southern Soul Paradise blog or the late Neal Furr who covered the Carolinas/southern soul/beach music scene, or Europe's Soul Express, which covered southern soul for many years. And when you say that having a website and covering the current music scene would be too much for anyone---"a 24/7 job"---well, that's exactly what I've been doing for the last twenty years, including weekends. All my labor free. Besides which I've spent over a $100,000 through the years just keeping it going tech-wise, something I never would have done if I had known what I was getting into, and definitely not recommended for you young people.
By the way, to make room for this letter, I had to delete some material at the bottom of the page from almost a year ago, including a very helpful answer to a reader's question about a Dee Dee Simon song popular in England a year ago. Who wrote the helpful reply? You (Melody Hudson) did! Thank you for all you do!

December 4, 2022: Pictured (King George)Southern Soul Music Is The Only Music We (The Black Community) Own I decided, Daddy B Nice, to go ahead and give the story. Watch for the keyboard warriors or the ones who want to crucify me (throw me under the bus) as I am pointing out they will or won't support On Facebook on Facebook that is in their favor.
I had an interesting conversation today and I would like to share it. I was asked" why do the cities that host "southern soul" concerts not play "southern soul" music on their particular corporate media outlets? The reason is simple. It is because WE own it. If you listen to the corporate outlets they ARE playing BLACK music. They are NOT playing BLACK-owned music. "Southern Soul is the only music WE own. All the other genres and masters have been signed over, "stolen" or given away. Since they are in control, they have a business model we call "entertainment apartheid." In other words, organized segregation. We are a $1 1/2 Trillion Dollar spending population of 49 billion Black Americans. The "southern soul" listeners of the ages 25-years to 70-years alone is a $50-Billion Dollar underserved demographic. This genre is designed to redirect music revenues back to our community versus our own corporate media outlets discriminating against your son, daughter, mother, father, sister brother, etc., making us ONLY consumers and making sure those revenues do not reach our community. That is the reason, but I hope I answered the question. There is a lot more to this, but I'll wait on you keyboard warriors to attack as that is what you do when the correct information gets out there. I only want to instill in OUR people to wake up as to what is happening to them from a local and national level, why they have product (are producers), but seem to be standing still. A great deal is our fault as we fail to have the sensibilities to come together as a people, support each other and to conceive the concept of "concentrated power." Okay, I've said enough. Let the games begin.
Jerry King
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Jerry, putting your (or my) neck out is the best for all involved. It is what people really appreciate. It’s what gets people’s attention. (King George is only the latest example.) It’s the stagnation between the rare, courageous moments that is the killer.
By coincidence, earlier today, I was looking up a way to contact Julius Lewis, the promoter behind the Blues Is Alright Tour, and I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to see the annual revenue of his company. Also, the top southern soul stars are now making $5-10K per gig. The energy, buzz and commercial potential of the genre is growing.
But I agree with your point. Southern soul music today IS faced with a kind of "segregation" or "apartheid" not unlike the "race music" before rock and roll and R&B. (I was there, in the 60's civil rights movement.) And southern soul is the new "rock and roll"---rawer, raunchier---threatening black radio today. I'm not sure that will happen until (at the least) the black intelligentsia---cultivated, literate, city types who currently abhor or marginalize southern soul (i.e. only to be played on weekends)---take up the southern soul cause and pound on the boardroom or bedroom doors of the financial powers that be.

November 15, 2022:New Single from Rosalyn Candy
Hey, Daddy B Nice—
I’m hoping that you’re having a great day full of positivity! I continuously wish nothing but the best for you regarding your health. Thank you for the tribute to DeMond Crump. His wife enjoyed reading it and was so delighted that you took out the time to write such nice things about him and recognize his music contributions. His death has really made me stop and think. Its moments like that when reality kicks in and it’s self explanatory that we all need to be focused on sowing good seeds and leaving behind a legacy.
Well, I won’t bore you by rambling on and on with my thoughts. I’m sending you out a new single by Miss Rosalyn Candy. I wrote this and Rosalyn’s boldness, creativity, and sensuality came through. I also wrote I Wanna Feed Ya and Southern Soul Party. She’s such a pleasure to work with. Very confident yet so humble and appreciative. This one is for the grown folks, lol. Below you’ll find the cover and mp3. This Louisiana native definitely knows how to turn heads and make a person’s ears tune in. I’m blessed to be able to call her a business associate and a good friend. (I’m rambling again, ugh!)
Thank you for your time. Most importantly, thank you for all that you do to shine the spotlight on southern soul artists. You have a way with words and definitely should’ve written a few bestsellers. Take care,
Jennifer Bosschick
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer. You wrote “Ooh Aah”? Good for you! Believe it or not, Rosalyn had already submitted that song to me and we’ve already had an extended conversation about it. I think it will be one of her best yet.
Jennifer replies:
Yes, she told me after I told her I submitted the song. LOL. Yes, I wrote it. Take care of yourself and thank you for the response!

We hope that his music will be remembered and listened to for years to come. A kind soul has left this earth. Thank you for all that you did for DeMond.
God bless.

October 22, 2022:Where's O.B.? Hi Daddy B Nice,
Where's O.B. Buchana on the New Generation chart? Most of the picks are right on, but this is a serious omission.
Sidney
Daddy B. Nice replies:
I feel for ya, Sidney. O.B.'s not the only major artist who doesn't get spotlighted on the new chart listing today's top artists. The best answer I can give you is that the whole reason for the new chart is to feature the artists who have been overlooked and who are doing the finest work at this moment in time. These artists have been buried at the bottom of old charts or not even been presented on previous charts. It's their turn for recognition. I've already published two extensive artist guides on O.B. Buchana, and I've published CD reviews of just about every album he's ever released. There's not much new I can say about O.B. without repeating myself, and his lofty #6 on the 21st Century Southern Soul chart sure looks better than a lower ranking would on the new chart.

October 1, 2022:Looking For A Song Letter (A Reader Responds)August 20, 2022:
Hello Daddy B. Nice,
I hope you are doing well. I've been hearing two songs by J Dallas named Swingout Party Tonight and Saddle Up. Bubba Yae plays them usually on Sunday afternoon and he has confirmed they are by J Dallas. I have tried to contact J Dallas by email and Facebook messenger several times trying to purchase these two songs but have yet to hear back from him. Since you are a major personality in the industry, is it possible for you to get me copies of both of them. I really would like to add them to my playlist and is willing to purchase them if necessary. I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks and best regards,
KevinDJ Sir Rockinghood Replies:J. Dallas dropped a new album Mr. Step And Stomp Himself, Aug 6, 2022. I tried to find the songs that Kevin was talking about and nothing shows up. Maybe he has the wrong song titles of the songs but the album is on Amazon music.

September 1, 2022:Daddy B. Nice Gets Chatty With David Brinston RE: Your Poundtown Album Review
Daddy B. Nice,
You know me, I'm normally quiet and behind the scenes. Today, I'm finally breaking my silence. First, "Daddy please be nice!" During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time in the studio focusing on my music and not my appearance! So, I thank you for the mustache advice (Lol). My music has been "all over the place" to some degree; however, it is original David Brinston. I've been on a long journey that took me in different musical directions to find my true path. Especially, after all my former Producers earned their wings. Now, I've gone full circle - back to my roots of Blues, Soul, Country with a hint of Gospel. I'm enjoying every minute of it and I'm especially grateful for all of the David Brinston Fans out there who have supported me over the years and through my transformation.
Vr,
David

PS: Please call Terry at ------. I'm interested in buying a promotion package on DaddybNice. Again, thank you for your review of the Poundtown CD. We look forward to hearing from you.
Daddy B. Nice replies:
David,
It’s so good to hear from you after all these years. I’m kinda chuckling and giggling when I think that it was a remark about your mustache that brought you to write. Yes that was a little Daddy B Mean, although it was just me trying to be funny. I’ll go back and take that it out if you like. Ironically, I have what I call an “upside-down mustache”. It’s positioned where a goatee would be, under the lower lip, but it wraps all around the lower lip like an upside-down mustache. God knows what people really think of it. I’m glad there’s no other Daddy B Nice to tell me. I keep it because I want some hair on my head now that I’m bald on top.
I want you to know how much I appreciate you. Twenty, twenty-five years ago, when I was just getting my feet wet and trying to understand if I’d really stumbled upon a genre that no one (outside of the Deep South) knew about ( a process that took years), there were about a dozen songs that sealed the deal. That tipped the balance. That motivated me to go all in and make it my passion. And “Party Til The Lights Go Out/Nothing But a Party” was one of those key records. Phenomenal. I’ve never grown tired of it. Magic captured. “Kick It,” of course, was a close #2. And correct me if I’m wrong, but you don’t possess the rights to those songs, I’ve assumed, because you’ve never re-issued them. I always wondered who Marshall Jones (the producer) was and have only seen him mentioned a couple of times in the two decades since then. Of course I’ve liked lots of the music since then as well, but those two songs will always hold a special place in my personal southern soul heaven.
Best wishes…
David Brinston replies:
Thanks so much for your response. I do own the rights to all the songs that you mentioned. Yes, Marshall Jones did the tracks. I’m planning to include those songs in my “ David Brinston’s”s greatest hits.”

August 20, 2022:New MixTape Deejay on YouTubeHello,
I'm a DJ in the Washington DC Area, We are really getting into southern soul, and I'm one of the DJ's on the forefront. Please take a listen to some of my mixes on Youtube.
Listen to DJ Big Stew mixtapes on YouTube.
Stewart Yates
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Always glad to welcome a new deejay to southern soul's big tent. When I think of southern soul and DC, I think of the late great Frank Mendenhall, who had ties to the area. I think of Lamont's Entertainment Complex in Maryland, where so many great shows were held. And there was a longtime deejay in the DC area who promoted southern soul through the last couple of decades, through thick and thin (and a lot of thin compared to today's booming scene). His name escapes me at the moment, which is frustrating me to all get out.
Listen to Frank Mendenhall singing "Time" on YouTube.
Stewart replies:
I'm regular Dj @ Lamonts, and I think you are talking about Dr Nick on WPFW radio ... Or maybe the Moon Man .... And thank you for welcoming me!!!
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Moon Man, that's it. I've had Moonman Radio on my Links page for years, and I remember his voice well from the days he broadcast over the Internet.

Thanks and best regards,

Daddy B. Nice replies:
Sorry, Kevin. I've been on the look-out for those two songs by J. Dallas in both my mail and on YouTube but haven't seen either for sale or streaming yet. J. Dallas is a new artist coming on strong, though, and if you're patient I'm sure you'll see them coming available in the near future. Of course you can ask Bubba Yae as a last resort. He obviously has copies.

August 8, 2022: Pictured: Calvin Richardson
We have been watching your charts for a while and we realize that this chart and selections are ------. How can you have a chart and not have calvin richardson on it no time. Your entire set up is bias and ------. How do you have a chart and cupids song is not on there and he is on billboard. How do you have a chart and an artist like Stacii adams is on bill boards but not your charts and write ups. We don't know who is paying you for promo but 95% of your charts are -------.
Coach Jackson
Daddy B. Nice replies:
I've eliminated the nastiness in your letter with ------'s. There's no call for anger. It only distracts. Music is for fun, remember? And you actually like 5% of what I do, which is a lot! Maybe you can send me some of that alleged paying-for-promo cash to sneak Stacii Adams onto the chart. Huh? (Wink, wink.)
As per your other issues, I've dealt with the whole Calvin Richardson thing before (see "The Strange And Unique Case Of Calvin Richardson"), and Cupid is already on the 21st Century southern soul chart.
But since you or your group set yourselves up as the arbiter of "quality," I'll make you a deal. If you can come up with a creditable list of only 25 "new generation" artists, I'll publish it in the Mailbag. Just remember. This is a southern soul platform---not Billboard.

August 7, 2022:RE: Hats Pictured: Sir Charles Jones
Hello!
Great website! I really enjoy it.
Big southern soul fan.
Do you still sell hats or t shirts? If so I’d be interested. I vaguely recall seeing that a while back but maybe I’m mistaken.
Stay classy,
Josh
Daddy B. Nice replies:
Thanks a lot, Josh. No, I finally got rid of the hats and t-shirts.
Appreciate 'cha!
