The legend returns! The New York soul train smashes the capital with Francois K
Now Need2Soul welcomes Body & Soul back to London. Having sold out Oval Space last year with their unique soulful mix of very organic and spiritual dance music that spreads disco, techno, house, soul, funk and everything in between, they had people squared to the dancefloor for eight hours straight. Very special guest Jocelyn Brown also joins the party. Jocelyn Brown’s outstanding recording career has seen her work with some of the best soul, groove and disco producers, artists and musicians, including Quincy Jones, Luther Vandross, George Benson, Micheal Jackson and Roberta Flack. Her massive ‘It’s Alright (I Feel It)’ is a Body & Soul staple, featured on the ‘Body & Soul Volume 1’ compilation, it’s a well-known and celebrated track for the dancefloor that always finds its way into the Body & Soul parties. In the 1990s she collaborated with producer and Todd Terry and Martha Wash on a rework of her classic ‘Keep on Jumpin’ and the pumping ‘Somethin’ Going On’, and she’s been going strong ever since. Her unforgettable vocal hook ‘I’ve Got The Power’ has been sampled across genres, and her gospel background will see her performance drop jaws at the Electric Brixton this October. Her powerful performances have packed out shows at The Jazz Cafe and Under The Bridge already this year. A live set from Jocelyn Brown is the perfect complement to Body & Soul.
Need2Soul strives to put together some of the most monumental parties in London, and now presents an afternoon that trumps everything so far. This very special event not only brings house music’s cream of the crop with Body & Soul, but also showcases one of soul music’s most iconic singers for one of their most justifiably legendary events.
