Calvin "The Soul Prince" Richardson

Calvin "The Soul Prince" Richardson is a soulful singer worth discovering, or should I say re-discovering since he has been putting out quality music for almost a decade now. Born and raised in Monroe, North Carolina, Richardson was bred on Gospel and classic R&B music. Some of his musical collaborations include Claudette Ortiz, Chico DeBarge K-Ci and JoJo, Angie Stone, and Raphael Saadiq. He has put forth several musical offerings ranging from his solo debut Country Boy in 1999 to a tribute album soon to be released titled Facts of Life: The Soul of Bobby Womack, a legendary crooner who Richardson is often compared to.

Fans have often stated that Richardson should not be labeled "neo-soul" or "nu-soul," but simply a creator of good music. Whether you peg him R&B or Soul, just know one thing, and that is you are always going to get your money's worth and more. He is often described as, "a man who is into romance, and genuinely cares about the one he's with...definitely different from the five and dime singers nowadays that seem to all be cut from the same cloth." Another fan says, "his music has definite replay value and is always ultimately worth a listen. "

There aren't too many artists who effortlessly evoke an old soul that translates through their art form of choice. With his fourth studio offering being delivered to his established and sure to be new fans very soon, Gypsy Soul has decided to give you an up close and personal of his music. On Friday August 7 at new hot spot Suite 18 we will have an exclusive listening party for Calvin Richardson. Complete with free giveaways and all of the unexpected things we always provide, this event is one that you will not want to miss. And in case you have been living under a rock, you can get familiar with Calvin Richardson at www.myspace.com/calvinrichardson See all of you at Suite 18.

Gordon Chambers at Ear Candy

A delayed train didn't keep the energy out of Grammy winner Gordon Chamber's performance last night at Ear Candy!

The night got a late start and it took a moment for the crowd to get into the groove of Gordon, but once they did, they demanded more!

Gordon start off the night with a medley of love songs and transitioned into songs off of his first album, Introducing Gordon Chamber and his second, Love Stories.

The Teaneck, New Jersey native is currently signed to L.A. Reid's prestigious Hitco Music publishing company where has written for over 60 recording artists, including household names Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Usher, Brandy, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan and Marc Anthony.

In 1994, Gordon won a grammy back in 1994 for the song he wrote for "I Apologize" by Anita Baker and was nominated in 1995 for his work with Brownstone trio "If You Love Me".

He performed the song last night and had everyone on their feet grooving. Crowd participation was at a record high as he brought forth 2 females to be his backup singers for the hook!

Gordon ended the night with an encore for all the single ladies and serenaded them with his song "BeHappy" off his latest cd
