Soul

Soul music is a popular genre that originated in the African-American community in the late 1950s and early 1960s, rooted in gospel music and rhythm and blues. Influential record labels like Motown, Atlantic, and Stax popularized soul during the Civil Rights Movement. It features ecstatic gospel vocals combined with upbeat R&B instrumentation, often including brass elements and call-and-response patterns. Soul music influenced rock and African music and experienced a resurgence in the mid-1990s with neo-soul, incorporating modern production and hip-hop influences.
