BLUE EYED SOUL

VA - Best Blue Eyed Soul (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2

Blue-eyed soul (also known as white soul) is a term used to describe R'nB or soul music performed by white artists. The term doesn't refer to a distinct style of music, and the meaning of "blue-eyed soul" has evolved over decades. Originally, the term was associated with mid-1960s white artists who performed soul and rhythm and blues music that was similar to the raw, expressive music of Motown. Many blue-eyed soul singers have been described as "sounding black", because they had a full voice with a throaty, resonant timbre. To a lesser extent, the term has been applied to singers in other music genres that are influenced by soul music. (Wikipedia)

I really don’t like the term "Blue Eyed Soul". There should be no Black Soul, White Soul or Blue-Eyed Soul. It's just SOUL music to me. But that is what the marketing gurus have named it. It has a distinct feeling of its own and does not really sound like the Soul music I am used to. However, I do like the sounds that these listed artists have created. Here are my favourite songs in this Genre/Style (?) Enjoy!
