Artists

A - Z of artists we met …..so far !

"Everybody is a star" that is what Sly Stone sang in 1970 and to us everybody on this list is a star !
Billboard charts are not always a reflection of the true status of an artist in our
opinion .
Since 1993 we met many artists, sometimes just for a short chat ,sometimes for
a lengthy interview. On each occasion we recorded a station ID for
FINGERPOPPIN SOUL and took some pictures.
In 2003 Harry started to give away picture sleeve singles of the artists we met.
In the sixties and seventies most singles were released with a picture sleeve in
mainland Europe in contrary to the United States. Since 2003 many artists have
received a collection of rare singles !!
Please scroll on down this list beneath the W you will see a selection of the pictures we took with the artists !
