Does anyone know what soul music was derived from? The Detroit sound (Motown) was created by Berry Gordy in the very late 50s and early 60s, but how about Memphis soul? Where was James Brown from? He is the self proclaimed godfather of soul. Does anybody remember Soul Train???
True Confessions of a Soul Man
There seems to alot of interest in classical,jazz,and rock music. But are there any aging boomers that remember 60s soul music, a staple of AM radio that rivaled the british invasion?? My favorites were Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Supremes, Four Tops, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin. There were all types of sounds. I hope there are some experts out there that can identify each type the Memphis sound, The Philly sound (right Trelja?),etc. Opinions, favorite groups or songs, histories, etc.
