Ok we love rock but let's have a talk about soul, so much fantastic music thanks to the secularsation of gospel music in the 50's and thanks to pioneers, like Ray Charles ('I Got a Woman') and Solomon Burke ('Everybody Needs Somebody To Love')
From the beautiful crooning of Sam Cooke, to the raunch of Wilson Picket, the power of Aretha to the sexed-up schmaltz of the Isley Brothers, soul music is as rich and diverse as anything labelled as rock.
