A music genre that was popularized by the African American community in the 60s and 70s that combines traditional African gospel with blues.
It's basically rhythm and blues but with African roots.
Soul genre was named to pinpoint that the songs were sung with a lot of soul in them. To varying degrees, the power and personality of the form were absorbed in disco, funk, and hip-hop, styles that owe their existence to the soul.
So today certain other genre music can also be sub-classified as soul.
Some popular soul artists are,
Mary J. Blige. Mary J.
D'Angelo. D'Angelo.
Maxwell. Maxwell.
Erykah Badu.
Lauryn Hill.
Raphael Saadiq.
Anthony Hamilton
Joss Stone
