Pop-soul is soul music that has been polished and is commercially viable. The vocals are still raw, but the material and sound fit on the radio. Motown was a pioneer of this style. It eventually morphed into disco in the 70's. Some example artists are The Impressions, The Jackson 5, Chuck Jackson, Major Lance, Barbara Lewis, The Supremes, The Temptations, Dionne Warwick, and Stevie Wonder.
