Eli "Paperboy" Reed spins a selection of gospel and funk for 45 Live with host Greg Belson. Check the link below. 

Here's the scoop...

Putting it simply, there's just not enough space here to give this man justice to the dedication he has to the music he produces. From writer, musician & producer, to DJ, collector & archivist, Eli "Paperboy" Reed's passion is undeniable. So, and is not often the case with these write-ups, please check his site at this link: http://www.elipaperboyreed.com/ 

Eli's DJ sets are particularly spectacular, as they provide a keen snapshot as to what to expect from the Paperboy, when he performs live. The influences are all wrapped up tight into the grooves of each record.  

Dublab's 45 Live host Greg Belson bookends the set and this week it's a deep dive into the still relatively untapped world of gospel soul & funk 45's. you'll hear songs from Chariettes Gospel Singers, DJ Format, World Service Singers, Spiritual Harmonizers, the Windy City Four and others – original 7"s on lock, as per usual!
