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 it's 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 sympathizes 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 realize 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. It's 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!

  1. We all cry, men and women, and soul music is the one that best accompanies pain and sadness. It comes from the soul of its performers.
