Primary Stylistic Influences: R&B, Blues, Gospel Music, Jazz Secondary Stylistic Influences: Pop, Classical Music (particularly Smooth Soul and Motown), Latin and Psychedelic Rock (but only in some cases) Showing up in The '50s and The '60s, soul music was developed by African-American musicians by combining elements of Gospel Music and R&B. The result was something that sounded a lot like Gospel but (usually) without the religious themes. In the heyday of soul — starting in the late 1950s and running through the 1960s — it was initially divided into two camps: Northern and Southern. Southern soul, whose flagship studio was Stax Records in Memphis, was noted for a rougher sound and harder-edged lyrics, and was mostly marketed towards Black audiences. Northern soul, whose flagship studio was Motown Records in, erm, Motown, was noted for a softer, poppier sound with more "family-friendly" lyrics and elaborate orchestrations, and was specifically engineered by studio head Berry Gordynote (fun fact: his son and grandson formed LMFAO, which couldn't be more different) to have crossover appeal to White audiences. Around the same time, other soul scenes percolated in New York (based around Atlantic Records, the premier rhythm and blues label in America, which had previously recorded and published Ray Charles, was home to Solomon Burke throughout the 1960s, and served as national distributor for Stax Records for most of the decade) and Chicago (a halfway house between Motown, Memphis and New York both musically and geographically, and largely centred around the songwriting and production of the Impressions' lead vocalist Curtis Mayfield). Despite the differences and the commercial rivalry between Stax and Motown there was a definite sense they were one style, with a lot of cross-pollination. This soul — the "classic" soul sound of the 1960s — was the soundtrack of the Civil Rights Movement, and everything associated with "good" and authentic Black culture was called "soul"-something by analogy (most famously, the term soul food stuck for referring to traditional Black American cuisine). Later, in the mid-to-late 60s and into the 70s, a third soul "sound" appeared when some artists in Philadelphia, most famously the songwriting and production duo of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, began incorporating elements of Funk, Big Band Jazz and Motown-style orchestration to produce the sweet-sounding variant called "Philadelphia Soul", a.k.a. "Sweet Philly", which in retrospect was probably one of the strongest influences on the nascent Disco (listen to some Philly soul and you'll probably remark how incredibly 70s it sounds). Soul had a powerful effect on both Rock & Roll and modern Pop, and was the leading form of music for African-Americans until Funk music (itself heavily influenced by soul, and pioneered by leading R&B artists like James Brown and Isaac Hayes) came onto the scene in the early Seventies. Soul kept on; it eventually became nigh-indistinguishable from its forebear R&B as, in the face of the rise of Hip-Hop, the term started to be used for "any music made for and by black people that still has melodic singing"... Purists cringed, of course, but alas, there was nothing to be done. Every now and then, soul makes some kind of resurgence, variously disguised as (for example) New Jack Swing in the 1990s and neo-soul in the 2000s. Soul or soul-styled music performed by white artists is generally called "blue-eyed soul". The British are the most likely to try a soul-influenced sound: David Bowie broke into the American market after he switched from Glam Rock to soul (with the New Sound Album Young Americans, recorded in Philadelphia), and two of the biggest soul acts since 2000 are Amy Winehouse and Adele, both as English as they come. The term "plastic soul" is used pejoratively to describe soul-styled music that replicates the sound and characteristics of soul music, but without its innate meaning (which prompted The Beatles to name their next album Rubber Soul, 'cos, wouldn't you know it, they were high at the time and thought that was funny). Britain is strongly associated with the mod-oriented 'Northern Soul' scene of the 1960s and early 1970s, which grew out of the dance clubs in northern towns like Manchester, Wigan and Blackpool and was sustained by DJs who specialized in tracking down extremely rare soul tracks from obscure labels which had never quite gained mainstream popularity. Many British pop stars who kicked off their careers at the onset of the 1980s, including Elvis Costello, Madness, The Specials, Dexys Midnight Runners (whose name was inspired by an amphetamine popular among northern soul fans, which gave its users the energy to dance all night) and many, many more were active participants in or admirers of the northern soul movement. Pete Waterman, later famously one third of the Stock-Aitken-Waterman production team (the "Hit Factory") whose Hi-NRG and synthpop productions provided the sound of British pop music in the late 1980s and early 1990s, began his musical career as one of the top northern soul DJs (alongside fellow Hi-NRG producer/songwriter Ian Levine — later known, bizarrely, as a significant figure in Doctor Who fandom) in the 1970s. Soul also stayed popular in an unusual space. A mix of all styles survives in North and South Carolina as 'Beach Music' where soul music style with a lindy-hop-style dance called 'The Shag' (no, not the British meaning) started in the 1940s with early R&B and settled into its modern form in the 1980s with music from the Dominoes, the Drifters, the Clovers, the Tams, the Tymes, the Temptations, the Four Tops, and the Chairmen of the Board, along with local acts like The Swinging Medallions, The Okaysions, The Catalinas, and The Embers. The epicenter of this is Myrtle Beach, on the NC/SC border. As Soul faded from popularity in mainstream popular music, Beach Music kept many acts alive and earning money right through to today. The very early days of Beach Music were critical in getting southern white audiences to accept what was then called 'race' records. The songs for Beach Music all have a danceable 4/4 beat and evoke romantic or relaxing seaside moments, as compared to West Coast Surf Rock singing about being in the ocean. Popular titles include "Under the Boardwalk", "Ms. Grace", "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy", "Sixty Minute Man", "I'm a Girl Watcher", and "Give Me Just A Little More Time". Not surprising, as the Internet took off, there has been some heavy cross-pollination between Beach Music and Britain's Northern Soul crowd. Soul Train started (predictably enough) presenting soul acts on television, à la American Bandstand. As the black community's tastes in music changed, Soul Train changed its tune a bit (and at some point became inextricably — and rather embarrassingly — linked with Disco), but the roots were still fairly obvious down to the end. Please do not confuse with the Discworld novel or the 2020 Pixar film. |

Isaac Hayes: Originally a session musician and songwriter who penned most of Sam & Dave's most memorable songs in partnership with David Porter, Hayes became famous in his own right when his Hot Buttered Soul LP turned out to be an unexpected success and made him Stax's biggest star after Otis's passing. His greatest achievement was the soundtrack for the Blaxploitation film Shaft, which won him an Academy Award. In the 1990s he was introduced to a younger audience as the voice of Chef in South Park. | |

The Supremes: In some respects the spiritual successor to pre-Motown girl groups like the Shirelles, the Supremes were one of the primary vehicles of the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting and production team. During the sixties they were second only to the Beatles as one of the most popular groups in America and their influence on contemporary performers (such as the late Amy Winehouse) cannot be underestimated. After they split, lead singer Diana Ross became a star in her own right. | |

The Temptations: Originally presented as a clean-cut boy band, the Temptations were one of the most successful all-male vocal groups to perform on the label. In the late 1960s, they became a vehicle for the staff songwriters experiments with psych-rock influences, leading to the creation of a whole new subgenre known as psychedelic soul. | |

Sam Cooke: Along with Ray, Sam Cooke was one of the inventors of the genre, although his songs probably leaned towards gospel moreso than R&B. Although he died young, he left a legacy of great recordings which have been widely covered and continue to influence aspiring singers. His landmark recording "A Change Is Gonna Come" (inspired by his hearing Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind") is often credited as one of the first really socially conscious soul songs. | |

The Jackson 5: You know who these guys are. Yes, it's the group that featured Michael Jackson and his brothers, put together largely on the initiative of their father, Joe. Even though they were very successful in the early 1970s and had several hits that are still remembered, today they're probably thought of pretty much as "Michael Jackson's old group". | |

Al Green: Most famous for the song "Let's Stay Together", Green kept southern soul alive during the 1970s when funk music had started to become more popular in the African-American community. However, his decision to leave secular music for a while to concentrate on gospel music and his ministry around the same time Stax went under was arguably the death knell for the genre for several years.

Little Richard: Actually signed to a record company that wanted to market him as a rival to Ray Charles. Although he's best known as one of the first and best rock stars of the fifties, his energetic vocal performances and gospel-singing background were very influential on subsequent performers; notably, he was Otis Redding's favourite singer.
