Classic Soul

Classic Soul emerged in the bustling music scenes of the 1960s and 70s, where it realised that mixing gospel fervour with rhythm and blues made for some rather smooth listening. It’s characterised by powerful vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and arrangements that make you want to both dance like no one's watching and contemplate life’s great unanswered questions—a proper multitasking activity. This genre not only created iconic hits but also gave us the kind of romantic ballads that, if played well, could convince even the stiffest wallflower to sway a bit.
