According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, soul is "music that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of gospel and rhythm & blues into a form of funky, secular testifying."[1] Catchy rhythms, stressed by handclaps and extemporaneous body moves, are an important feature of soul music. Other characteristics are a call and response between the soloist and the chorus, and an especially tense vocal sound. The style also occasionally uses improvisational additions, twirls and auxiliary sounds.[2]

Well, since I'm the first one to post, I guess I can start things off with a super-classic.



Great song

Have to throw out the usual suspects here:




and finally my favourite Soul track ever. If I could only own one Soul track then this is it:


Albums to check out:
Al Green - Use Me
Aretha Franklin - Soul 69
Otis Redding - Dictionary Of Soul
Sam Cooke - One Night Stand
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Percy Sledge - The Soulful Sound Of


Modern releases that still cut the mustard try:
Gizelle Smith and the Mighty Mocambos
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Spanky Wilson and the Quantic Soul Orchestra

If you want a little Psychedelia thrown in with your Soul try:
Lotti Golden - Motorcycle.
