Recomend me some good soul music

[I`m Wayne Brady bitch!]

Topic says it all. If you got game on some nice soul tunes, please recomend it to me 

[Fraxxx]

Just check out the whole Motown and Stax catalogue for starters. That's enough for the first year. Or are you talking bout contemporary Soul music (not that RnB/Pop crap)?

Sorry, I should have specified that I'm looking for old, classic tracks. Not contemporary RnB/ soul.

Thanks for the tips!

Mahalia Jackson? That's pure Gospel though.

Aaron Neville & The Neville brothas are fuckin' LAVA. They very diverse though. They touch on madd genres.

On the real though I'd say Stax, '50's, 60's Motown too. All like, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Eddie Floyd, Sam Cooke, The Temptations, Jimmy Liggins, The Dells, Etta James, Jackie Wilson...

Mayer Hawthorne....some modern day soul-shit.

this topic marks probably the first time I've ever heard anyone state that "Motown is overrated". Very odd comment. Thats like saying Michael Jordan was shit at basketball.

if u was raised on as much music i was raised on and heard the stuff i heard...when soul music comes up..the 1st thing folks bring up is stax and motown..u would see where im comin from

people tend to forget or dont know about solomon burke, al green, millie jackson, billy preston, ann peebles, tyron davis, betty davis, jerry butler, dee clark,30,000 other soul singers that fall below the radar..

growin up in the south i had access to the real chitlin circuit labels.. like goldwax, veejay, hi records, kenwood,

been a crate digger since the age of 7
