VA - It's In My Soul (A Butterboy Compilation), Memphis Soul, Chicago Soul, New Orleans Soul and Philadelphia Soul (12 x CDs) PART 2


MORE SOUL MUSIC

VA  - It's In My Soul (A Butterboy Compilation), Memphis Soul, Chicago Soul, New Orleans Soul and Philadelphia Soul (12 x CDs) 

As promised here are other soul sub-genres which will  be compiled at a later date. Including Memphis Soul, Chicago Soul, New Orleans Soul and Philadelphia Soul. 

MEMPHIS SOUL, also known as the Memphis sound, was the most prominent strain of Southern soul. It is a shimmering, sultry style produced in the 1960's and 1970's at Stax Records and Hi Records in Memphis, Tennessee, featuring melodic unison horn lines, organ, guitar, bass, and a driving beat on the drums. Many of the songs in this style were performed by vocalists backed by the house bands of Stax, Hi and Goldwax Records. The Memphis soul sound was different from the Motown sound from Detroit. After the rise of disco in the late 1970's, Memphis soul declined somewhat in popularity. The Stax Museum of American Soul Music is dedicated to preserving the Memphis sound.

Presented here are 12 x CD's of  Soul music, specifically 60 tracks each of each sub-genre is 3 x CD's and will be posted each day until each set of CD's is complete. I hope you enjoy the choices.
