Posted June 4, 200817 yr Is it me or has soul almost completely dissapeared from.....well....everywhere, let alone the UK music charts? Where did all the Stevie and Marvin classics go, is it just a changing of the times and musical taste?
June 4, 200817 yr Soul is very much alive at #3 on the singles chart. Duffy sings Warwick Avenue with a classic soul style. Very impressive. I can hear Jackie Moore or Brenda and the Tabulations singing that song.
June 4, 200817 yr Soul died by the end of the 70's. :lol: Soul is still in the charts, soulfull voices, but just in the form of pop music!
June 4, 200817 yr Beverley Knight's last effort was soul and that didn't do too badly peaking at #07 just a shame it dropped never to be seen again right after :cry:
June 4, 200817 yr Yeh I think many tracks have some heavy soul infuences from the likes of Duffy, Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Keyshia Cole & even Adele so I don't think its completely dead
June 5, 200817 yr Gabrielle had a few classic soul songs on her recent fabulous album (Always, Every Little Teardrop, I'm Not In Love).
June 5, 200817 yr Keisha White is quite soulful too :) Agreed, her album was very good if you like soul music.
June 5, 200817 yr Soul died by the end of the 70's. :lol: Soul is still in the charts, soulfull voices, but just in the form of pop music! the end of the 60's actually! (apart from a few escapees in the 70's.... al green for eg). i dont regard 'philly' or 'sweet soul' of the 70's real soul at all... check out stevie wonder 'i was made to love her' if you want to hear what REAL soul sounds like... as for joss stone and duffy..... :lol: they arnt in the same league as nina simone and aretha franklin.. not even on the same planet.
June 7, 200817 yr Yeh I think many tracks have some heavy soul infuences from the likes of Duffy, Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Keyshia Cole & even Adele so I don't think its completely dead I would add Gabriella Cilmi to this list too, especially some of the other tracks on her album.
