I have been listening to a ton of soul music lately, and came across 14 kick-ass tracks I pulled together for your listening pleasure. What we got here is a nice mix of some classics and a few lesser-known gems you all might not yet know. A special gold star goes to Darondo, the amazing but little-known 70's soul king from the Bay Area. These tunes are bound to get you grooving, so hit repeat, sit back, and ride this playlist through the end of summer.
To celebrate the beginning of a new year I thought I would share with you some of my all-time favorite music performed by some classic old-school Soul singers. Below you will find a playlist of 12 awesome tracks. I chose ones that featured artists or songs some of you may not yet know, or those that were rare live performances. A few worth particular attention are the Jackie Wilson performance on the TV show, "Shindig" (1965), the rare gem "60 Minute Man" by the Dominoes, and "Cry to Me" by the late Solomon Burke who died just a few months ago. Be expecting a "Soul Women" edition soon!
Here is to wishing you all a year filled with adventure, good health, peace, and a wonderful soundtrack to accompany it all.
