- Post subject: Best soul albums?
|
Last time I did this I was looking to get into Jazz, and now I'm looking to get into a genre I'm even less educated on. Literally the only soul album I have is "Call Me" by Al Green and I'm looking to change that. Any suggestions?

I have a music chart on the subject some time ago, it might need a tiny bit of editing but it still reflects my favorites in the style.

Ah I love soul. I've got a chart I've been working on, should be done probably this week.
Here are some of my favorites:

Night Beat by Sam Cooke
I think Sam Cooke has one of the most beautiful, pure voices in soul music, and this album is just him and a band doing some tunes. There's not attempt at making a big hit or anything, it's just simply Sam Cooke doing Sam Cooke and it's incredible.

The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend by Baby Huey
I never thought that anyone could ever match Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come", and then I heard Baby Huey do it, and I really had to rethink that.

You Got My Mind Messed Up by James Carr
Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
My personal favorite Gaye album, better than (just barely) Let's Get It On and What's Goin' On, in my opinion (though those two are obviously necessities in soul music listening)

The Iceman Cometh by Jerry Butler
"Lost" is one of my favorite soul songs of the entire decade, and that's just the beginning of how good this album is.

The Exciting Wilson Pickett by Wilson Pickett
So yea, those are ten of my favorites (that haven't been mentioned) that I would highly highly recommend. _________________ 2023 Chart
