Soul & Funk

Über Soul & Funk

Soul fused gospel intensity with rhythm and blues in the late 1950s, pioneered by Ray Charles and perfected by Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder at Atlantic, Stax, and Motown. James Brown stripped it to the beat and created funk, the most sampled music in hip-hop. Soul remains the emotional core of American popular singing.
