  Blue-eyed soul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term is a misnomer, in that the artists don't all have blue eyes.
The terms blue-eyed soul and white soul were first used in the 1960s to describe white singers whose style was heavily influenced by soul and rhythm and blues.
In the 1970s, soul music flourished, and artists such as Richard Rudolph helped pave the way for what is known as blue-eyed soul.

The Rascals, along with the Righteous Brothers, defined blue-eyed soul singing, making records that were as churchy, earthy, and convincing as anything that came out of the South or Motown in the '60s, backed by tight, anthemic arrangements and excellent combo playing.
Surrounding himself with first-rate sessionmen, Bowie comes up with a set of songs that approximate the sound of Philly soul and disco, yet remain detached from their inspirations; even at his most passionate, Bowie sounds like a commentator, as if the entire album was a genre exercise.

 David Lasley - Back to Blue-Eyed Soul
Back to Blue-Eyed Soul is a first-time compilation from David Lasley's prolific career as a singer, songwriter and background vocalist, which has spanned more than 30 years.
Among Back to Blue-Eyed Soul's selections are several newly released recordings, songs from two of Lasley's early groups (The Utopias and Rosie), out-of-print solo singles, movie themes and radio jingles.
We had to use this version on Back to Blue-Eyed Soul because the two-inch master was lost, and therefore some of the vocals are not as loud as they should be (sorry, Benard).

 A sizzling take on blue-eyed soul - The Boston Globe
Make room for another purveyor of British, blue-eyed soul: James Hunter, a new name in the somewhat anomalous niche of UK-bred classic RandB, who fronted a sizzling sold-out show at the Lizard Lounge on Wednesday night.
But Hunter's good fortune to be born with a voice that echoes the soul greats -- and a personality to carry it off -- was bolstered by the chops of his excellent band.
But a real high point was the sublime title track from ''People Gonna Talk." Stepping away from the swinging Latin rhythms that had dominated the set, the song hit a hypnotic rock steady groove, with the saxophonists blurting in unison, forming a perfect counter beat.

 Sir Shambling's Deep Soul Heaven - BLUE EYED SOUL
In the real world the fact that he had recognised that there were many more white punters than fl, and tuned his business accordingly should have been a source of envy and admiration rather than the reverse.
Since soul singing was learnt in the Churches, was the fact that whites had their own religious upbringing the only thing that stopped them from sounding like James Carr?
These were guys who sang soulfully without necessarily being soul singers, but it did open the way for a better understanding of the ways in which music was multi-faceted rather than one-eyed as I’d previously believed.

Born Rosemarie Timotea Aurro, Timi Yuro had the voice of a big fl man trapped in the body of a petite Italian-American woman and was known as "the little girl with the big voice" for her powerful pipes.
Laura Nyro was another white chick with a whole lot of soul packed into her body.
Her love of gospel and soul is evident on the fabulous "Stoney End" from her 1966 debut album The First Songs (originally titled "More Than a New Discovery") This was a big hit for Barbra Streisand in 1971 but Nyro's version just stomps Babs' into the ground.

But today's blue-eyed soul superstars are more urban, slicker and seem to have more bounce to the ounce than their predecessors.
In the 1960s, the three most prevalent styles of R&B were Southern soul, a church-influenced style; the Motown sound, which blended polished songwriting with candid vocal delivery; and Chicago soul, a style also influenced by gospel.
Despite the gush of pop/soul acts, Faison denies that blue-eyed soul is making a comeback, primarily because pop/soul music is a mixture of various styles and should not be considered true R&B. "I don't believe there is a resurgence of blue-eyed soul," Faison says.

In recent times, as the lines between soul and pop have increasingly blurred, a strong case could be made that most non-African-American artists on today's Top 40 pop charts owe a certain debt (whether they realize it or not) to blue-eyed soul.

 Blue eyed soul - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Blue Eyed Soul es un término genérico utilizado para referirse a la música soul interpretada por blancos.
Sin embargo el "white soul" como se le llamaba en los ´60 y principios de los ´70 se aplicaba a cantantes blancos cuyo estilo estaba muy influenciado por el rhythm and blues de la época.
En menor medida esta etiqueta se le puede aplicar a otros géneros musicales derivados del verdadero soul (como el dirty pop, el urban o el hip-hop soul) así como a artistas inspirados por el soul y cuyas composiciones entran y salen del género, como Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson, JoJo...

The bus comes and he silently walks away and climbs aboard, not looking back at me as I yell to him, "Have a good day!" I see him standing beside a seat, and the kid sitting there gets up to let TP in.
TP slides over near the window and all I can see are his big blue eyes and his nose.
He looks around and then puts his gloved hand up to the glass and waves this very sad little wave.

 Stewart Francke, Detroit-based blue eyed soul singer and songwriter. Winner of numerous Detroit Music Awards
He's got the necessary soul chops, but he is also a fine rock singer - when he and Ryder cut loose in "Upon Seeing Simone," over a rollicking horn section, they send chills down the spine.
"Deep Soul Kiss" expresses the need to continue in relationship in the midst of struggle, all the while acknowledging the power of eros to transcend.
Yeah, this is real people's poetry: it carries within it the rough mystery of the urban street and the mundane magic of suburban epiphanies and doubts.
