THE ORIGINS OF SOUL - TODAY MAGAZINE

Soul music is simply gospel without God. So it's not surprising that the great soul stars of the 1960s began as gospel singers. Many would argue, with justification, that the greatest soul music came out of Memphis and Philadelphia, but there is no doubt that the most successful version of the sound came from DETROIT, home of Berry Gordy's Motown Records.
