It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

Originally from the South -- Mississippi, to be exact -- soul and R&B singer Noel Gourdin honed his skills in Brockton, MA, and by the age of 24 scored a deal with Sony and had his first album in stores. His first exposure to the vocal arts came in church, and he was introduced to the larger canon of soul music by his father (who introduced him to the classics, such as Otis Redding) and his brother (who turned him on to the sounds of new jack swing). As a high-school student in the Boston-neighboring Brockton, Gourdin performed in talent shows and did work (and shows) for the Boys and Girls Club. With his work as a performer and role model to draw from, Gourdin signed a management deal with Stalin Entertainment in 2002. A 2004 request by Kay Gee to have Gourdin contribute a track to the soundtrack of The Cookout (the song "Family Reunion" was Gourdin's contribution) led to Gourdin exploring new musical territory, which would result in a large portfolio of songs ready to go. A meeting with Sony Urban in 2005 led to a summer showcase, which in turn led to a deal for the singer to start recording for the label. His debut, After My Time, was released in 2008. ~ Chris True, Rovi

I am crazy about this song, when i hear it on the radio and i tried to sing it to people they looked at me like i was loosing it. I asked one girl at work and she spoke to another coworker and this girl just so happen to have the cd. I went out to get the cd that same-day. The radio station never said the name of the artist, when ever I heard it on the radio. I haven't seen the video yet but if i'm crazy about the song (The River), i'm sure the video is something I will want to see over and over
He is incredible! I love his style and sound. Better Man and The River are truly my favorites from him. I pray he will continue to get recognition and more play time! He's a great mixture of old school, neo-soul, and hip/hop all in one. I agree his cd is a must buy. Let's show him some love.

I REALLY ENJOY NOEL G. I CAME ACROSS HIS VIDEO "THE RIVER" ON MTV AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS ARTIST.
Noel, this is a great song and i'm glad your getting your true recognition in this industry. I hope you continue to succeed, keep God 1st and you can't go wrong.
Cool Breeze, Funky, Smooth, Somber, Melancholy, “Black Power, the Revolution is coming will you be ready?” Soft, Hard, Soulful, Deep, Rainey day Love Making, Going Home Back to My Roots kind of music I feel when I hear his music all wrapped up on one song, Exhale!!!!!!!
