What’s up family? Chris Campbell here with The Progressive Underground, and it’s time for this week’s Pick of the Week. We’re shining the spotlight on Al Lindsey — a Detroit soul singer with a voice as smooth as velvet.

Born in Virginia and raised in Michigan, Lindsey first hit the stage while serving in the military, opening up shows for none other than Jimmy “J.J.” Walker from “Good Times.”

After his service, he came back to Detroit and broke out on his own, dropping solo projects since the late ‘80s, always keeping that classic soul vibe alive.

His latest single is called “It’s Gonna Be Alright” — and its my Pick of the Week. 

That was Al Lindsey with “It’s Gonna Be Alright” — pure grown folks soul for your spirit.

If you’re feeling music like this, don’t miss The Progressive Underground — Saturday nights at 6 p.m. on 101.9 WDET. We serve up soul, nu-jazz, rare grooves, and b-side magic just for you! I’m Chris Campbell. Stay tuned, stay soulful.

• Zo!, Tall Black Guy transcend genres with synergetic ‘Abstractions’
• Pick of the Week (Mar. 29): ‘2 Step in the Living Room’ by Terrace Martin & Alex Isley

This week’s pick comes off of the album “I Left My Heart in Ladera” by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Terrace Martin and songstress and music royalty Alex Isley, daughter of Ernie Isley of R&B funk pioneers The Isley Brothers.

The album is considered a modern soul classic in various circles of soul pundits, and with each listen there’s a new layer of lush R&B and soul to be discovered.

We’ll sample a track that has the hallmarks of classic soul groovers — an infectious rhythm and bassline, angelic vocals and that nostalgic “Blue Lights in the Basement,” roller skating vibe from back in the day.

It’s grown folks’ music at its finest. Let’s check out the track “2 Step in the Living Room,” my Pick of the Week.

If you dig artists at the apex of the future soul music movement, be sure to check out The Progressive Underground every Saturday evening at 6 p.m. on 101.9 WDET and wdet.org, where we take you through soul, nu-jazz, nu-funk and everything else in between. For The Progressive Underground, I’m Chris Campbell and we’ll see you next time.
