Craig Charles talks to deep soul star Otis Clay about Martin Shore's new music documentary, Take Me to the River.

When it comes to deep soul, there's no argument that Otis Clay is king. He helped shape the sound of the New Generation in the '60s with his powerful, soul-wrenching, gospel-tinged performances. Otis co-stars in director Martin Shore's new music documentary Take Me To The River, which showcases a group of southern soul legends (including Bobby Rush, William Bell, and the late Bobby Bland) combining with a new generation of rappers to illustrate how the region's indigenous music has changed over the decades. And get in touch with your top 3 Northern Soul tunes for the section of the show we call Talcum Time: Email us at craig@bbc.co.uk. At 8pm we'll have 30 minutes of back-to-back records in the 'Trunk of Funk' section of the show. Expect to hear Northern Soul, rhythm and blues, jazz, blues, gospel or hip hop, Motown hits.
