Emanuel's Detroit Magic

Emanuel Laskey - I've got To Run For My Life

Detroit soulster Emanuel Laskey has appeared on this blog before, and his "Don't Lead Me On Baby" is part of the most recent podcast (#18). His great singing is worth another feature today, so without any further ado, here it is - "I've Got To Run For My Life." Run on, Emanuel! (Again, check out the article at Soulful Detroit that appears in the prior blog entry, and make sure to get Issue #3 of There's That Beat! to read the fond remembrance of Laskey that appears in its pages.)

About "Get on Down" and "Soul on the Air"

Although "Get on Down with the Stepfather of Soul!" was conceived as a rare soul blog, it has evolved into being the Web's best source for '60s and '70s soul radio broadcasts, known as airchecks, thanks to the "Soul on the Air" series. With that in mind, the original blog concept has been retired (see this blog post for more information). This blog is now dedicated to the "Soul on the Air" features, which are listed below. Enjoy!
