Welcome to the first of a series of anthologies covering the genesis of soul music. Soul is so often subdivided into sub-genres, from the 'downhome' southern to the Eurocentric and retrospective northern, from 70s sweet to 90s urban, that we might well ask: what is soul and what is its relationship with other genres? This series will tell the story of individual artists and will trace connections between the musical genres and styles that went into soul and those that soul influenced in its turn, in a comprehensive overview from 1927 onwards. Most of all, we will present you with some of the most amazing vocal music ever made. This collection of breathtaking blues and spiritual music brings you some of the most impassioned, compelling vocal performances ever to be recorded. The first in America to transition from religious to secular music, these artists were all significant in their way in creating a new vocal and rhythmic style that paved the way to soul. Part of the History of Soul series, the accompanying illustrated booklet sets out the historical background and explains some of the technical features that make these beautiful songs the precursors of soul music.
