I didn’t know this guy who died, but he worked for a friend’s record store and looks very familiar. The record store — Carolina Soul — has a monthly spot on NTS and they played this cool playlist in his honor, so I’m listening to this in memory of someone I didn’t know, but feel like I could have.
Carolina Soul is a record seller based in Durham, NC, USA. They specialize in rare and classic soul, boogie, gospel and modern obscure tracks from the Carolinas and beyond, mixed with all-time bangers and ballads.
