Some good points from Lee and Gavin B.
What can I say....I'm a purist.
For me, modern day soul along with added elements of jazz, hip hop etc, isn't soul.
There's been some good examples of old style crossovers, resulting in a blend of soul thats passable to my ears.
Other than that, it just aint soul.
Like I said...I'm a purist, but like the old saying goes. "Its whats in the groove that counts."
