SAD SOUL SONGS

VA - You Made Me Cry, Sad Soul Songs (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+C2+CD3

What do you listen to when you're feeling down, disappointed, lonely, suffering, grief ridden or other sad emotions. Whether its a relationship bust up, lost love, sadness of a death of a friend, being lost or simply reminiscing you need to connect with someone who sympathises and really understands. some people will say it will be alright, but it won't always. I bet at times you will need to listen to sad soul music to help you realise you are not alone. 

If you feel like you need to just sit in your room and cry, go right ahead, it's for your own good. Its a proven fact that crying along to sad songs is guaranteed to make you feel better, so put on your favorite music and sob.  your favorite sad music may be different to mine but I assure you Soul music by its nature can not only move you it can help you through your pain. That feeling that the African American voice can convey in a sad song is often heartbreaking and reflective of a specific moment of sadness or pain in your heart. 

I have presented sad song compilations previously but not one dedicated to black American soul artists. Here are 75 tracks of emotionally draining heartfelt tearjerkers, so unwind and feel better faster. The music contains only great singing by artists that have felt your pain. Enjoy!

  2. Great idea, Butter. Plenty of rare ones here. Jimi Hendrix is the guitarist on the Little Richard song. I'll listen to this when I end it all!

    1. Hi BillyMac,
      Thanks for that. Lots of favorites here (for me).
      Enjoy the music, always. Sometimes it makes us look at things differently. And puts a smile on your face.
      Have a great weekend.
      Cheers

  5. First off great to see you back as I just found out you were. SO WELCOME!!!
    I know it is hard to pick them all but David Ruffin's A Rainy Night in Georgia should be on
    this comp. His scream sends shivers down ones spine and tears rolling down the cheeks.

      Cheers.

  6. Oh, Butter - just the cover graphics nearly bring me to tears! There can be a profound beauty in truly deep sorrow... thank you for finding it, and collecting it for all of us with music in our sometimes-broken hearts, and a box of tissues by our elbows.

    1. Hi Aging Child.
      This is one of my favourites. Each track has something to make you think about. We are not alone.

      Cheers.

  7. BB, hello. I've been going back through your site. I was happily listening along to the first "CD" when I realised 2 & 3 are no longer available. I did a quick search on "sad songs" just in case they had been re-uped recently but no. And I found the country sad songs comps but they are no longer available either. I'm so sad. Can you make an old man happy by re-upping them please. Thanks
