Southern soul

Southern soul is a style of soul music that originated in the Southern United States, emerging in the 1960s and 1970s. It combines elements of blues, country, early R&B, and gospel influences from Southern black churches. Characterized by its gritty, raw sound, Southern soul emphasizes the groove, featuring bass guitar, drums, horn sections, and gospel-rooted vocals. The style influenced the rise of funk music and includes terms like deep soul, country soul, and downhome soul. Unlike the polished Motown sound, Southern soul is known for its earthy groove and danceable rhythms.
