Every month is Black History Month on Reclaimed Soul on Vocalo, but this week, we have a special focus on black writers and poets. Alongside classic soul music, we'll hear Lorraine Hansberry (author of A Raisin in the Sun) talking about growing up in Chicago. We'll also hear recordings of poet Sonia Sanchez reading her poetry back in the 1970s. Tonight at 8pm, and Sunday at 8am on Vocalo 91.1fm http://vocalo.org/player
Tonight at 8 on Reclaimed Soul with Ayana Contreras: a deep dive into the Isley Brothers catalogue: rock-soul + bedroom jams. http://vocalo.org/player
Soul singer/Songwriter Donny Hathaway’s life and untimely death are both shrouded in mystery. Though artists like Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, and Aretha Franklin have called him an influence, there is very little biographical work about him. Reclaimed Soul host Ayana Contreras, sat down with Emily Lordi, author of “Donny Hathaway Live”. Lordi’s recent book uses the album of the same name as a jumping off point for uncovering Hathaway’s legacy and his unique contributions to 20th century popular music.

For every huge record to come out of Chicago (from the likes of The Dells, Tyrone Davis, or Earth, Wind, & Fire), there are other cuts by artists like Darrow Fletcher, Mckinley Mitchell, or Krystal Generation (hardworking performers that never quite broke through nationally). Then, there's other lesser known acts who despite strong material, remain unsung. Tonight on Reclaimed Soul on Vocalo: 60s/70s Chicago Soul that inexplicably fell through the cracks.
This week on Reclaimed Soul on Vocalo, Ayana Contreras sat down with Todd Mayfield, author of Traveling Soul: The Life of Curtis Mayfield, second eldest son of Curtis Mayfield.
After her conversation with Todd Mayfield, stay tuned to Reclaimed Soul for a set full of music from the Curtis Mayfield Songbook. This Thursday at 8pm on Vocalo 91.1fm

Like so many American cities, Chicago has a particular brand of Soul music. Artists like Curtis Mayfield and Gene Chandler helped pave the way in the 1960s and 1970s, but where is that sound today? To help answer that, we heard from Reclaimed Soul’s Ayana Contreras and current Chicago Soul artist Avery R. Young. Then, we heard a remembrance of one of Chicago’s most beloved soul stars: Minnie Riperton. For that, Vocalo's Emma Farley sat down with Minnie's brother, Ray Riperton.
The Barber Shop Show airs on Fridays and Saturdays at Noon on 91.1FM. You can also stream live at vocalo.org. In addition, the show broadcasts on Sundays at 3pm on WBEZ 91.5FM.
