Some really killer episodes of The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show ended 2014 that you can still listen to online for a while.

“Throughout 2014 Craig has been charting The History of Women In Funk & Soul. Starting way back from Mahala Jackson’s era through to the up and coming artists of today Craig will be looking at successful women in funk & soul. You’ll be hearing when Craig had the late Amy Winehouse in Session and conversation and when Beverly Knight and Lisa Stansfield joined his Fantasy Funk Band. They’ll be disco hits from Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor. R&B-soul from Jill Scott & Angie Stone. Country soul from Candi Staton and neo-soul from Erykah Badu.”
And then, the Biggest Tracks of 2014
