On A Bowl of Soul we are continuing the celebration of February is Black History Month. We celebrate Black History with some Classic Soul and R&B from the Doo Wop R&B group the Harptones to the 5th Dimension. Also, we are celebrating our new ancestor, Lamonte McLemore, singer with the 5th Dimension. Lamonte was a singer, composer, actor, photographer and baseball player.

Not only was Lamonte well known for singing with the superstar group, the 5th Dimension, he was a photographer for Ebony and Jet Magazines for over 40 years. Lamonte was the first African American athlete to try out for the St. Louis Cardinals. After he moved to Los Angeles, he was a minor league strong-arm pitcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers for a short time. Lamonte McLemore was definitely part of Black History. We celebrate him on A Bowl of Soul. 

I hope you enjoy this broadcast because I had fun creating it.  In this month, let it be filled with lve, joy, hope, good music a knowledge for Black History!!! Keep it locked with A Bowl of Soul A Mixed Stew of Soul Music.
