THE PRINCE OF GEORGIA SOUL

Arthur Ponder, a lifelong Macon, Georgia resident, started his singing career in the 60s replacing Otis Redding in Johnny Jenkins & The Pinetoppers after Otis went solo. Although he gigged extensively, he did not actually make it on to a record until around 1970. Presented here, we have mostly his 80s Modern Soul output, solo and with local group Side Show, some of which was released on 45, while others remained unreleased until now. Special thanks to Angelo Angione who went above and beyond to help with this project and Arthur Ponder - The Prince of Georgia Soul.
