Various - I'm A Soul Man - Original Soul Brothers (2009)

The various singers presented here illustrate the rich combination of styles that set in motion the soul revolution. The first part of this volume is dedicated to the rich harmonic tradition that permeated the life of Black youths, from the gospel cries of Sam Cooke’s Soul Stirrers to the radiant ballads of doo-wop groups such as the Dominoes, the Clovers, the “5” Royales and the Charms. Soloists also played their role in the emergence of soul, as sophisticated bluesmen like Joe Liggins, Johnny Otis or Roy Brown set examples that were followed by promising soulsters named Bobby Bland and Johnny Ace, or Ray Charles who married gospel and blues like no one before him.
