WFMU alumnus and soul music colossus Mr. C will be joining Gaylord Fields for the triumphant return of the annual Summer Soul-stice. The marvelous host of Mr. C's Soul Spectacular, found Saturdays 3 to 5 pm ET on LuxuriaMusic, is more than ready to spin a select section of soul singles in tandem with the program host. Mr. C knows you got soul, and he and Gaylord will prove it and groove it until you move it!
