I was reading a NYT article, 'Nerd Soul' referenced in another thread, and happened upon this guy, an Englishman residing in NY. I think he is really good, but how have I missed him until now? The first 2 clips of him I found are both really good, contemporary Soul in a traditional style. Does he write his own material?
