Motown World Exclusive Soul Sounds at Pelican Art Gallery

Thursday, March 19th, 2009


This is a great post from Linda Postenreieder @ Petaluma360 regarding the re-release of Classic Motown artist, Chris Clark’s “Soul Sounds“, who’s finally getting her well deserved props.

The event is sold out, but here’s the link to the Pelican Art Gallery. More after the jump.

Berry Gordy, Motown’s founder states “I think Chris Clark is one of the greatest white authentic blues singers of all time. I was fascinated by her phrasing, her subtlety, her wit and her unadulterated soul. I hope this re-release will bring her the recognition and audience she deserves.”

As Motown celebrates its 50th Anniversary, Reel Music, by arrangement with Universal Music Group will be releasing Chris’ classic 1967 album “Soul Sounds” on CD for the first time in the USA in April 2009. Join Chris Clark at the Pelican Art Gallery to celebrate the exclusive pre-release of this CD on March 21st, 2009 from 2 – 5pm.

If there’s a defining presence to Chris Clark, it’s that her talent has it’s own unique vision. In the recording studio, on the pages of a script, on a proof sheet, or splashed across canvas, hers is a voice that resonates with individuality. As a long time member of Berry Gordy’s handpicked creative team, Chris’s skills were honed in the fast moving, highly competitive atmosphere of the early Motown years.
