Noel McKoy (c. 1961 – 3 November 2022) was a British soul music singer. His music was a collection of soul, gospel, funk and Northern soul.[1] McKoy created, produced and presented the Dutch Pot new artist nights in London – which ran for five years. Over 300 artists including Hill St. Soul, Shaun Escoffery, Michael Jackson (writer), and Jeffrey Williams gave early performances at these nights – which proved to be pivotal to their later careers.[citation needed] International names topping the bill included Omar, Lynden David Hall, and Def Jam's Tashan.[2]
