Soul music research
Here is some research I found on soul music:
Soul music combines rhythm and blues and gospel music, originating in the United States. 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."
Some Soul Subgenres
Mowtown: Strongly rhythmic, and influenced by gospel music. The Motown Sound often includes hand clapping, a powerful bass line, violins, bells and other untraditional instruments.
Deep soul and southern soul: Combining R&B's energy with pulsating southern United States gospel music sounds
Blue-eyed soul: Usually performed by white artists, blue-eyed soul is often characterized by catchy hooks and melodies
Neo soul: A mixture of 1970s soul-styled vocals and instrumentation with a contemporary R&B sound, hip hop beats and rap interludes. The style first appeared in the mid 1990s
Soul Artists and some of their Videos
Old:
