With its start in the 1950s in the US, the mix of rhythm and blues has moved to varieties of Memphis, Motown, Neo and melody. As soul music evolved it leaned heavily on influences from Ray Charles, James Brown, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett to achieve that classic sound exemplified by Aretha Franklin in "Respect." Soul continues to adopt new and old school sounds in the new millenium. As Soul continues to grow as a genre don't miss your opportunity to Get Up Offa That Thing and get your groove on at a soul music concert in your area.
