*‘soul music’ is a popular music genre that originated in the ‘united states’ in the ‘late 1950s’ + ‘early 1960s’*
.
.
(it combines elements of…)
*african-american ‘gospel music’*
.
*’rhythm’ + ‘blues’*
.
‘jazz’
.
.
(‘soul music’ became popular for dancing and listening in the ‘united states’, where record labels such as ‘motown’, ‘atlantic’, and ‘stax’ were influential during the ‘civil rights movement’)
(‘soul’ also became popular around the world, directly influencing ‘rock music’ and the music of ‘africa’)
(according to the ‘rock + roll hall of fame’, ‘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'”)
(catchy rhythms, stressed by ‘handclaps’ and extemporaneous ‘body moves’, are an important feature of ‘soul music’)
(other characteristics are a ‘call and response’ between the ‘lead vocalist’ and the ‘chorus’ and an especially ‘tense’ vocal sound)
(the style also occasionally uses ‘improvisational additions’, ‘twirls’, and ‘auxiliary sounds’)
(‘soul music’ reflected the ‘african-american identity’ and it stressed the importance of an ‘african-american culture’)
(the new-found ‘african-american consciousness’ led to new styles of music, which boasted pride in being ‘black’)
(‘soul music’ dominated the ‘U.S. R&B chart’ in the 1960s, and many recordings crossed over into the pop charts in the ‘USA’, ‘britain’, and elsewhere)
(by 1968, the ‘soul music’ genre had begun to splinter)
(some soul artists developed ‘funk music’, while other singers and groups developed slicker, more sophisticated, and in some cases more politically conscious varieties)
(by the early 1970s, ‘soul music’ had been influenced by ‘psychedelic rock’ and other genres, leading to ‘psychedelic soul’)
(the ‘USA’ saw the development of ‘neo soul’ around ‘1994’)
(there are also several other ‘sub-genres’ + off-shoots of ‘soul music’)
.
.
(the key sub-genres of ‘soul’ include…)
*the ‘detroit’ (aka ‘motown’) style*
(a ‘rhythmic music’ influenced by ‘gospel’)
.
*’deep soul‘ / ‘southern soul‘*
(driving/energetic soul styles combining ‘R&B’ with ‘southern gospel’ music sounds)
.
‘memphis soul’
(a shimmering/sultry style)
.
*’new orleans’ soul*
(which came out of the ‘rhythm + blues’ style)
.
‘chicago soul‘
(a lighter gospel-influenced sound)
.
‘philadelphia soul’,
(a lush orchestral sound with ‘doo-wop-inspired vocals’)
.
‘psychedelic soul’
(a blend of ‘psychedelic rock’ + ‘soul music’)
.
.
as well as categories such as ‘blue-eyed soul’, which is ‘soul music’ performed by ‘white artists’…)
