This is an energetic first taste of the upcoming live record; 'Moreland City Soul Revue - Live at The Union'. 'Until You Come Back to Me' featuring Raleigh Williams also celebrates the band performing a night of classics from Aretha's Atlantic years at Melbourne's famous Caravan Club on January 25th, 2018.

Recorded live at the Union Hotel in Brunswick, the following release will be a credible example of why this is Melbourne's favourite soul band.
 
For one night only the legendary Moreland City Soul Revue teams up with the outstanding Raleigh Williams to bring you the songs of Aretha Franklin’s Atlantic years.
Often considered her golden era, 1967-70 saw Aretha team up with Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler to release a string of hits and iconic anthems: Chain of Fools, Think, Natural Woman, Say A Little Prayer, and of course her signature version of Respect.
 
On Friday 25th January the Moreland City Soul Revue, fronted by the legendary Paul Slattery with special guest Raleigh Williams, will bring this musical legacy to the Caravan Music Club stage, complete with a full horn section. 
 
Vocal powerhouse Raleigh Williams has been compared to singers as diverse as Bonnie Raitt, Eva Cassidy and Katie Noonan. With a show-stopping voice and a sassy on-stage persona, Williams brings her formidable talents to projects across multiple genres: having recently launched her original project RALEIGH, she also heads up popular French jazz band La Nuit Blanche, sings with world music outfit Amanaska and belts out girl-power hits and original songs as part of trio #Squadgoals.
 
Few male singers could master Aretha Franklin’s repertoire like Paul Slattery - and in her key, too! With a voice that sits somewhere between Joe Cocker, Ray Charles and Janis Joplin, Slattery brings a rare breed of husky soul and a scream that could
level a building. Originally from Adelaide, Slattery gained fame and notoriety as frontman for cult funk outfit Pornland, and is now one of Melbourne’s most recognisable singers.
 
When Williams and Slattery join forces to front the killer line-up of the Moreland City Soul Revue, Aretha fans and music lovers are in for a huge treat. Tickets are selling fast for this not-to-be-missed event.
 
The Moreland City Soul Revue have been giving their iconic brand of soul treatment to songs they love for ten years. What originally started as a protest band became something bigger when they realised that the best way to reach the masses was to show their passion through music, and they’ve been taking it to the streets ever since. Each member holds countless musical credits to their name, having performed individually with renowned artists including Missy Higgins, Paul Kelly, Ronnie Burns, Abby Dobson, Mia Dyson, Joan Rivers, Liz Stringer and Shane O’Mara to name a few.
