SOUL BALLADS

VA - 50 Great Soul Ballads (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2

A Great Soul Ballad is something very special indeed. It will move you and have you questing your own feelings or just confirm how you may have felt before. The best ones resonate with you because they articulate how you felt at a particular time in life. To me these are life songs with heart.

Here is my stab at some of the greatest Soul Ballads. Each tells a story and offers a reminder of relationships that work or didn't. Some are heartbreaking, some are political, some are fun, but all are Great Soul Songs that are absolutely magical. When Gene Chandler sings "Rainbow" you want to cry. His feelings are amplified by his beautiful voice and vocal styling (and of course the music). And again, When Rene Geyer sings James Brown's "It's A Man's Man's World". Just fantastic. So many great soul ballads here.

As usual there are so many songs to choose from that would fit into this comp. These are the ones that resonate with me. Enjoy!
