Into The Groove (28)

Hello, Into The Groove asks what is 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." The performance is very emotional, and the melody is decorated with improvisational additions, twirls and auxiliary sounds. Catchy rhythms, stressed by handclaps and plastic body moves, are an important feature. Other characteristics are a call and response between the soloist and the chorus, and an especially tense vocal sound. So much for the theory and i gather decades ago the record companies assumed many people wondered about what soul was, because both sets of vinyl state, better said testify that what's on it is soul...it does make it a bit confusing .. well here's 54 tracks , many of them real classics those that aren't add to the depth and quality this Soul Music and their performers had . The sixties may have brought the Beatles, the Stones, the Doors and The Beach Boys and the rebellion that came with it, it was the black people that really came out and touched the hearts and minds, not forgetting those hips too, of many black and white....that is soul....

In the comments section there's a listing of the re-uploads of these past weeks.
