It's likely everything on the top 1000 albums, if sung, is sung with Heart and Soul 😄 I can not think who might or might not be. If someone is making music and sticks at long enough to get an album heard by millions of people it is more than likely they are doing what they love. They're not going to find themselves put in the position to sing to millions like someone may find themselves in a dead end job.

Saying the above though, the fire may die in some music artists after more than a decade at resulting in albums with less passion than their debuts 🤔 Could get messy though

The OP talks about heart and soul as though they're two different qualities. Are there examples of songs that have one, but not the other? Like is that one killers song "I've Got Soul But I'm Not A Soldier" an example of something with soul because he does the thing with his voice, but no heart because the actual words being said don't actually mean anything?

Weird. Most people use their mouths.

This is one of the many reasons why James Otto is my most favorite singer. To me, soul is what you hear when James sings because his heart is what the precious beautiful sweet hearted teddy bear sings with, I love him so much!!! 😄 😄 😄

God bless you and James always!!! 😄 😄 😄

I think that many of you guys already know Fabrizio De Andrè, Battisti or Mina so I'd love to share with you this album that is filled with heart and soul:

In a way. I had to sell my piano to pay for the damage done by the burglar.

Not an album, but I love how this song lacks both of these qualities:

The only album I can think of with Heart & Soul is Closer.

Yes, sometimes I do listen to albums by The Beatles, The Beach Boys or Queen, to name a few. On the other hand, I've also listened to albums by bands/artists like Pavement, Kanye West or Faust! 😈

Do you sometimes come across an album that is filled with heart, soul, or both? Which ones are filled with heart and/or soul?

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, for example - It's amazing what a whole band of people breaking relationships can do. Despite the fact that everyone was splitting up, there's a very cheery vibe in most of the album. It's like everyone worked hard to write a better song about the breakups they went through than the other bands, pouring their heart out to make a cheery album when in truth their happiness was a farce, covering the sadness that resides deep within the lyrics. It was the creation of this album that kept the very band from breaking up forever.
