VA - Soul Men (LP)

Although the term "soul" appeared in U.S. popular music as early as the 1930s, soul as an independent genre did not emerge until the 1950s from gospel and rhythm'n'blues, plus a pinch each of blues and jazz. Soon after, soul was to become the epitome of "black pop music. 

Emotionally colored singing skills are characteristic of the African-American-influenced light music. Devoting oneself to the vibes, the groove and the message with all one's soul and heartrending vocals - that's what soul is all about.

This is a selection of classics by the kings of soul music on 180 gram vinyl.
