We are a Black-owned and intergenerational run archive and blog dedicated to preserving the legacy of the FIRST soul music-focused publication in the world SOUL NEWSPAPER, published by Ken and Regina Jones from 1966 to 1982.
The importance of safeguarding history cannot be overstated, especially in the Black community.
As we continue to find innovative ways to preserve legacy media in the digital age, we honor the musicians, entertainers, photographers, writers, staff, fans, and others who helped establish SOUL as THE source for Black Entertainment News.
Your support helps fund this archival project and keep the story of SOUL alive!
