Saun & Starr , two Harlem queens.
Their stories are worth looking into if you’re interested in the retro-soul scene. I’ve admired their cover album (Look Closer) since I was in high school.
I get inspiration every time I hear the direction they took these master works of soul!

In the 70s R&B embraced the “B” in Bass with thick grooves giving birth to Funk and deep voices giving birth to Soul. It was Motown’s last hurrah, because revolutionary changes were on the way. Experience the 1970s in the city.
