Soul Music Poll

British Soul Magazine In The Basement asked its readers to answer some Poll questions, which I did, and then found out to be incredibly tough, especially when only 3 answers were allowed.  Must say this is a great magazine, and must also say that the next issue is the last.  There are no more Soul magazine out there.  Sad.

Here were my answers, which I could have changed around on any other day.  But this is a snapshot.
