Singer-songwriter, jitterbug dancer, founder, Sound of Soul Records
Drugs have took over our community, our kids running wild. The only thing you can believe in is God. I believe in God, and I stay focused, and little by little I'm going to be successful. I got a catalog, 150 acts and songs. I've been offered $3 million for my company. I turned it down. If I can get $3 million, I can get $3 billion if I hold on to it long enough. It ain't no money, man. It's money to you, but it ain't no money to me. I know the business. I've been in the business 42 years as a record executive. I'm the only black standing that distributes his own product. If you go to Motown, you got to go through a white person, because they sold out. But not Sound of Soul.

Like Michael Jackson. They want to take Michael's catalog from him. I wish him the best. You can put that down. I wish Mike the best. He going to beat the trial because they trying to frame him. They want the catalog. See, the catalog is big money.

I want to leave something to my kids, to the foundation, to poor people when I die. I'm not working this hard for me. I'm working this hard to help the downtrodden, and to help my grandchildren, to help my grandkids, to help my wife, to help the city I love, Richmond. I'm going to be the first black man in this city to have his own foundation. That's why Consolidated Bank, I hate to see it, it went belly-up. A.D. Price went belly-up. As long as I'm in the music business, I'm not going to be belly-up. The music business is not like no business in the world. Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, the Harmonizing Four, if they handle their business right, will go on forever and ever and ever. — as told to Scott Bass; photographed by Scott Elmquist

A Man Before His Time

Written By Son and Life Long Business Partner CEO of Sound of Soul Records.Com 

Alfonso M. Smith

Mr.Wiggles aka Our Founder
Go back in time discover the man before his time .
In 1964, Randolph began the transition from performer to recording artist and record label owner. He learned from promoters that radio disc jockeys were less likely to play two songs from the same artist or label, than play one song each from two different labels or artists. He also learned the importance of owning your own publishing. Early on, Randolph began relabeling artists with different names, as well as releasing material on multiple labels. He recorded under the name Mr. Wiggles for Cameo-Parkway, in addition to issuing records on seven of his own labels: Fat Back Recordings, Golden Triangle, Hemisphere, Raven, Soul International, Sound of Soul, and Sprite. The lion’s share of his releases were either written or co-written by him, and all were under his publishing company. Mr. Wiggles also had his own one-stop distribution company, Sound of Soul Distribution, and his own record store and nightclub in Richmond.

His family partnered with Richmond Public Schools to create an endowment scholarship in Moon's honor at Richmond High School for the Arts.

They shared how they hope through these actions and the actions of his family- the legacy of Moon will live on forever.

“I know he is smiling in heaven. He did it,” Britton said.
