Don’t be misled by the title… This university is called the University of Soul Faculty; it’s the name of the ensemble of Mr. R. J. Ross—who, incidentally, is not a professor either! Yet, he heads the ensemble, so he has every right to call himself the Professor of the University. I hope that is now clear.
Professor Ross composed and arranged most of the songs on this album; he even sang all of them. His music and his unique broken-voice singing style
are definitely fine “sweet soul” creations.
This is the first 'soul' album to be produced at FIM. Beautiful smooth jazz male vocal with wonderful arrangement and sonority.
"I have not been a great fan of soul music, but after listening to this recording, I realized that the Professor’s interpretation is full of feeling and emotion… and I love it! I want to listen to it again and again, in particular, when I am exhausted with work. The Professor’s “soul” soothes my soul. The sound? Wonderful. Enjoy." - Winston Ma
