Of course, it doesn't hurt their cause that they've teamed up with New York soul chanteuse Nicole Willis, whose resume includes collaborations with Curtis Mayfield and the Brand New Heavies as well as a stint as the third member of influential early-'90s funk electronic group Dee-Lite. Willis and the Soul Investigators' first full-length, <i>Keep Reachin' Up</i>, was released in Europe in 2006 (2007 in the U.S.) to near universal acclaim. U.K. tastemaker Gilles Peterson named lead-off single "Feeling Free" his song of the year. - Sam ChennaultRetro Soulen720Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:38:29 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54696&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fnicole-willis%2Fplaylists.rss To say that the Soul Investigators are at the forefront of Finland funk isn't saying that much, but the group has managed to carve out a niche for themselves among the international retro soul movement.
