We are a Black-owned and operated archive and blog preserving the legacy of SOUL NEWSPAPER, the first soul music-focused publication, published from 1966 to 1982 by Ken and Regina Jones.

Safeguarding history is crucial, especially in the Black community. As we innovate in digital preservation, we honor those who established SOUL as the source for Black Entertainment News. Your support funds this project and keeps the story of SOUL alive!
