Whatever happened to Rock and Soul magazine? Does anyone know when it ceased publication? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

They did, though didn't they??? And often it would be a really interesting mix of black music too! I could remember months where they would have lyrics from Prince's controversy album, maybe something like Cameo, Motown's oldies cuts, and then something alternative from Joan Armatrading ![]() | |

I just pulled out a few of my old issues ![]() The 1987 issue includes an article on the Jets.This was right before the release of their second album 'Magic'.The article mentions that they are working on a movie for Disney (a sci-fi musical),solo albums by several members,an animated cartoon,and another movie ![]() | |

Well I am trying to build a collection of this mag via ebay. It really was a better mag than Right On or Black Beat. I was just trying to figure out what year it folded. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I am pretty sure they are not on wikipedia. THe publisher was Charleston and I believe they did a couple of other black themed mags in the 80s, but I can't remmeber which ones. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I think it was better than 'Right On' but it was on the same level as 'Black Beat'.Both of these mags had alot of exclusive info on new album projects,which I liked. How's your collection coming along? Did you buy up alot of issues yet? | |

They ran out of people worth reporting about? | |

rock died. soul died.
why would you need a magazine to cover something that doesn't exist any more? | |

You know what? I remember that I had this issue back in the day
It includes a Rick James interview where he totally TRASHES Prince and even disses Vanity 6 ("there's no talent there'). The Rock & Soul interviews were much more provocative and candid than the boring interviews we saw in Right On! magazine.I recall a Rock N' Soul interview with Vanity from 1985.She made it very difficult for the male interviewer,lol.When he got to her hotel room to interview her,she was watching a porno movie,shouting things like "You go girl...ride that thang!" ![]() | |
