Early Deep Soul Divas gives us an excellent insight into the emerging Black female sound of church-based Soul music that stayed with us for the rest of the 1960s decade.

Much of this fine singing and soulful dynamism still needs to be unearthed and re-evaluated. This collection is just the first exciting dig into the hearts and minds of the female Black music culture at its most profound during the late 1950s-early 1960s.

Features great early soul tracks by: Mitty Collier, Betty Everett, Barbara Lynn, Ann Cole, Carla Thomas, Mavis Staples & The Staple Singers, Ruth Brown, Etta James, Betty Lavette and more!

During the period when President Kennedy created the Peace Corps and gave advisories on building fallout shelters, the music of the Black church communities evolved into the domestic realm of popular music. Because church choirs and soloists were predominantly made up of female church folk, it is no wonder that the early push into commercial Soul music fulfillment was dominated by women. Male Soul music performers were outnumbered three to one. This dynamic was the leading edge behind the Soul movement and why divas like Aretha Franklin, Judy Clay, Etta James and the like lead the glorious charge.

According to Lossless Audio Checker all the files except 12, 13, 16, 17 and 22 have been upsampled. Are we being fooled here?

@oladiladio

Lossless Audio Checker and similar software are fooling you, not me.

This kind of software only check the spectrogram ranges of the files and if they don't have 22.1kHz as higher frequency, simply identify them as MPEG (upsampled). The concept of these programs are nice but the results are unreliable.

In all my posts I include a file "Folder.auCDtect.txt" generated by auCDtect (program similar to Lossless Audio Checker). Results are: files 1,6,7,12,13,14,16,17,22 are CDDA and others MPEG. All the tracks of this album have the same source "Jasmine Records". I'm not here to fool anybody, myself, as you, I check everything before I post and if I have any doubts I will not post them.

This is old recordings that came from different labels and compiled by "Jasmine Records". Some tracks have more quality than the others, that's why some check as CDDA and others as MPEG.
