Lex interviews Estelle - and the 'racist music industry' argument gets into the main news section too. IN YR BROADSHEETS SETTING YR AGENDA.

The opening bit of the interview reads - probably unintentionally - like classic Morleyan entrapment though: get Estelle to rant about how Adele ain't soul and she can't tell me what soul is, then ask Estelle what soul is and get staggeringly vague answer.

(The other thing to remember here is that soul music is pretty tightly interwoven with white working class culture in the UK as well, possibly more so)

And the classic Stax soul house band was 50% white, 50% black. (Booker T and the MGs)
