No sir. No apologies necessary. Not off the mark at all. This thread is for whatever strikes your fancy or is a favorite. 50's, 60's, whatever.

I really enjoy songs with John Newman I'd say he qualifies as a Soul Singer. His song with Rudimental (feel the love) is one of my favorite "modern" songs of that genre.

Originally posted by TMats: Interesting to me how some define “soul,” blue-eyed or otherwise. Not a criticism of anyone’s choices, I promise. Just an observation.
For me, soul music is rooted in gospel, very much vocal driven. The melodies, hooks, emotion all coming from the lead vocals, with of course the background vocals to help it along. Motown is the obvious reference.
