How can someone not like "Soul"? - Nebuchadnezzar - 10-20-2015
Seriously
Otis Redding, way to early for this man to go and would have done great things.
Ray Charles, more Gospel than anything but that's what made him so good.
James Brown, truly is The Godfather of Soul. The man was a genius.
Gladys Knight, This is a bad ass woman, the best voice and singer in my opinion.
Aretha Franklin, different sound than anyone else. I think the 80's messed her up though.
Hell, an argument can be made for Janis Joplin but that's more Blues though.
I just don't get how someone can listen and say, "THIS IS AWFUL!" unless while they listen they don't understand the feelings welling up inside them and it scares them, lol.

Agreed on all of them.
I really like Sam Cook, Sam & Dave, Booker T & MGs, Stevie, and just about all of the 60's Motown Groups and singers as well. The Rhythm and Blues man...

Ignorance. Some people were just unlucky enough to have been born stupid.

But seriously, soul music is cool. I always recommend a trip to the Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis to anyone interested in soul music. It's one of the best museums I've ever been to.

I just picked up "Roots and Grooves" by Maceo Parker, arguably the funkiest Sax player ever.
Disc one is Maceo doing soul tunes with a big band. Sounds a lot like Ray Charles with a little more funky horn work.
But disc two is the bomb. Extended funk jams with the same big band sound.
