SOUL

[THELIZARDKING]

I ceated this thread because i feel that soul is one of the least talked about yet on of the best genres, is anybody else into soul/know any good soul bands from any time period?

[RageAgainstTheAoki]

Just heard this for the first time. Wow. Just gorgeous...





And this one never goes old for me...

[MissingPerson]

Alas, the latter has been absolutely destroyed by Boots advertisements here though.

[RageAgainstTheAoki]

Ha. Boots. I shopped there with Mother RageAgainstTheAoki when I was a kiddo.

I like that you searched and bumped a thread with only one post for this purpose. We definitely need an active soul music thread. And I need to actively listen to soul music more.

Here are a few of my favorites:





Aaaaaand my favorite song of all time (which I'm sure everybody has heard):

[whynotsmile99]

probably my favorite genre of music. No one is doing it better at the moment than Charles Bradley, who was fantastic at the Hollywood Bowl last weekend



he needs to be at Coachella

[buddy]

i'm a big fan of early motown, and stax. posted these in various forms, and in mixes over the years.





i wish d'angelo would come back



and, pretty much anything willie mitchell and al green did together in those early 70's records.

[whynotsmile99]

He's seen some rough days....

At least we have Maxwell back, far greater an artist than D'Angelo ever was

[buddy]

Fuck yeah for a soul thread.

Fuck yeah for this song




And I'm disappointed no one has posted the original soul song. Gotta start here




And this clip never gets old

[buddy]

yeah, his whole Monterey Pop set is something special, but that's just some next level stuff right there.

YES, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, damn fine guitar player, as well.

Don't make this be another thread I can't open because there's 100 YouTubes to load. Link to songs as often as possible.

Hannah turned me onto the magic that was Sister Rosetta, though I count her more as blues than soul.

Don't fight the soul, man. Just lay back and let it happen.

[stuporfly]

I love classic soul music a crazy lot, and there's so much out there that didn't make it out of marginal regional popularity that's absolutely brilliant.




And I have DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist to thank for bringing the Singing Principal into my life...

[trendski]

currently diggin' Charles Bradley, Aloe Blacc, Selah Sue, Me'shell NdegeOcello, and the new Jill Scott

Over 69 million people agree...

[RageAgainstTheAoki]

Woah! You guys got busy in here since I bumped the thread last night. Can't wait to check out all of your selections! Keep em coming!

That D'Angelo picture is a tragedy.

Uhhh... you still on steam power, SD? The page loaded right away for me. Please ignore this request everyone.

[SoulDischarge]

It's fine right now. When every single post has 4 YouTubes and there's 30 posts per page, it gets a bit ridiculous. I don't get why linking shouldn't be encouraged. It's nice having a video pop up immediately in a new tab instead of having it load twice so I can listen and browse the rest of the board at the same time. And yes, my computer is a piece of shit because it's kind of old and I can't afford to replace it because my life is a piece of shit. Thanks. Ignore me.
