	Soul music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soul music is a music genre that combines rhythm and blues and gospel music, originating in the late 1950s in the United States.
		Memphis soul is a shimmering, sultry style of soul music produced in the 1960s and 1970s at Stax Records and Hi Records in Memphis, Tennessee.
		Psychedelic soul was a blend of psychedelic rock and soul music in the late-1960s, which paved the way for the mainstream emergence of funk music a few years later.

	Gibson Backstage Pass - Memphis Soul Survivors, Soul Serenade
		It’s a muggy Saturday night in Memphis, and Wild Bill is clanging the ride cymbal on the drum set in the corner of the cramped bar he named after himself.
		As the jukebox blares a Marvin Sease tune, the members of the band amble over to their instruments and Wild Bill—a gaunt, unspeaking 80-year-old in a pale suit and fedora—takes his perch on a stool by the door to collect the cover charge.
		The band is the Memphis Soul Survivors, and they are just that: unsung veterans of the Memphis rhythm and blues scene who have weathered losing streaks and changining trends to keep the music alive by playing for tips, night after night.

	soul sides: WILLIAM BELL + DEANIE PARKER: MEMPHIS SOUL
		The other month, my friend Jazzbo had to travel to Memphis for work and asked if I wouldn't mind putting together a batch of my favorite Memphis soul and funk songs for him to listen to and get into the right frame of mind.
		Now...I love the musical heritage of Memphis, especially the legacy of Stax and Hi, unquestionably my two favorite soul imprints of all time (no disrespect to Motown and Atlantic).
		It's been a minute since I've included a William Bell post, but as I noted last time, this was one of the big giants at Stax though he was rarely accorded the same recognition as folks like Otis Redding or even Sam and Dave.

	Memphis
		Attention might have been diverted from Memphis' fl music community with the rise of rockabilly, but RandB would reassert itself as the dominant musical force in the city in the 1960s, principally due to the success of Stax Records, which embodied the earthiest aspects of southern soul.
		Stax's pre-emminence in the Memphis soul scene was not absolute; smaller labels in the region, particularly Goldwax, also made some notable contributions to the 1960s, although their exposure was primarily confined to the RandB market or, after the 1960s, specialist collectors.
		Memphis looked set to reign as an RandB capital for a long time, yet by the end of the 1970s it commercial clout and influence was drastically diminished, due primarily to the tragic collapse of the Stax empire.*
